1	Martin Scorsese Presents the Blues: A Musical Journey (2003) more music like this by Original Soundtrack This five-disc, 116-track box set presents a sweeping history of the blues from its emergence in the early 1900s clear through to its various contemporary guises, and includes samples of country blues in all of its regional variations, as well as cuts from string bands, jug bands, jazz combos, gritty Chicago blues outfits, and a look at how rock ... see all copies from $59.39! new only from $59.39!
2	Kansas City Shout (1980) more music like this by Count Basie This session from 1980 helps to recreate the atmosphere of '30s Kansas City. Featured are the great blues singer Joe Turner and the strong singer and altoist Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, along with the Count Basie Orchestra. "Just a Dream," "Everyday I Have the Blues," "Cherry Red" and "Stormy Monday" receive very spirited renditions, as do some ... see all copies from $10.69! new only from $10.69!
3	Breakfast Dance and Barbecue [Bonus Track] (2001) more music like this by Count Basie The Count Basie Orchestra is heard on this album playing live at a disc-jockey convention in Miami. Their first of three sets took place at 2 a.m. but the late hour if anything kept the band loose. Most of the selections on this record were not recorded during that era, including fine charts on "In a Mellow Tone" and "Moten Swing." [The reissue ... see all copies from $10.33! new only from $10.33!
4	Anthology of Boogie Woogie [Primo] (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.87! new only from $5.87!
5	From Spirituals to Swing: Carnegie Hall Concerts, 1938-1939 [3 CD Set] (1938) more music like this by Various Artists In 1938, jazz aficionado/promoter/producer John Hammond, Sr. had an idea for a visionary concert. This vision would take fruition as a presentation known as "From Spirituals to Swing," bringing together the connected history of African-American music running from gospel to blues to jazz.High-brow concerts of what was considered distinctly non-high ... see all copies from $15.55! new only from $28.90!
6	The Savoy Story, Vol. 1: Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The old Savoy catalog gets bounced around from one distributor to the next like an unwanted foster child, with everyone starting from scratch once they get a hold of it. By 1999, it was Atlantic's turn and, hot on the heels of other label retrospectives, they have compiled a very good three-CD anthology of Savoy's jazz activities over 15 years in ... see all copies from $30.84! new only from $30.84!
7	Jumpin' with Joe: The Complete Aladdin & Imperial Recordings (1994) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Big Joe Turner's remarkable recordings for Atlantic and Decca have been frequently reissued and evaluated. But his singles for other labels haven't gotten similar treatment, which makes this 18-cut single-disc anthology of Aladdin and Imperial material so welcome. These were recorded in the late '40s and early '50s and were closer to the Kansas ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $14.00!
8	The Real Kansas City (1925) more music like this by Various Artists Put together to coincide with the release of Robert Altman's film Kansas City, this sampler traces the evolution of Kansas City jazz from 1925-39. Certainly recommended much more for general listeners than for completists, this CD has fine music (fortunately programmed in chronological order) from Bennie Moten, Jesse Stone, Julia Lee, George E. ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $9.56!
9	Swings the Blues (1995) more music like this by Big Al Dupree see all copies from $7.49! new only from $14.29!
10	Tell Me Pretty Baby (1947) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Lusty, romping jump blues and boogies from 1947-1949 that team Big Joe Turner with his longtime piano partner Pete Johnson and a coterie of solid L.A. sessioneers. The two dozen entries include party rockers like "Wine-O-Baby Boogie," "Christmas Date Boogie," "I Don't Dig It," and an incredibly raunchy two-part "Around the Clock Blues" (where ... see all copies from $14.64! new only from $14.64!
11	The Best of the Blues (1963) more music like this by Jimmy Reed see all copies from $15.00!

14 view cover	Roots (1962) more music like this by Jimmy Witherspoon Jimmy Witherspoon laid out two great records in 1962 on Reprise, Spoon and this one. Roots places the great blues singer and guitarist in the company of saxophonist Ben Webster, trumpeter Gerald Wilson, and a rhythm section consisting of pianist Ernie Freeman and drummer Jim Miller. The mood is laid-back, down-home, and full of emotion and ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
15 view cover	Flip, Flop & Fly (1972) more music like this by Big Joe Turner/Count Basie Big Joe Turner's first of many recordings for Pablo was not initially released until 1989. In the spring of 1972, the 60-year-old blues singer toured Europe with the Count Basie Orchestra and this CD has music from two concerts. Turner's repertoire offered few surprises at that late date (he mostly performs remakes of earlier hits), but his ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
16 view cover	Blues Collection [Madacy Box] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.95!
17 view cover	Shoutin' the Blues [Catfish] (2000) more music like this by Big Joe Turner This is an excellent collection of Big Joe Turner's early blues sides from the '40s. Cut before Turner gained widespread fame scoring rock & roll hits for Atlantic, the 26 cuts here were recorded on both coasts while the singer notched up a slew of gigs nationwide. Working for several labels, including RPM, Aladdin, and MGM, Turner waxed immortal ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
18 view cover	Atomic Boogie (2002) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Although this two-disc set appears to be a collection of tracks by Big Joe Turner and his longtime piano player Pete Johnson, the two only appear together on a half-dozen cuts here, with most of the space given over to Turner, whose trademark mix of jump blues and jazz-inflected R&B, all guided by his powerful vocals, is vintage stuff. Johnson ... see all copies from $26.42! new only from $26.42!
19 view cover	Have No Fear, Big Joe Turner Is Here (1945) more music like this by Big Joe Turner Producer Herb Abramson's first encounters with Big Joe Turner weren't at Atlantic, but for the National logo, where Turner paused from 1945 to 1947 and cut the 26 swinging numbers on this collection. For once, the CD format limits the amount of selections rather than enlarging it; the original two-LP version of this package boasted a few more cuts ... see all copies from $11.00!
20 view cover	Best of Rhythm & Blues (1993) more music like this by Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.98!
21 view cover	Piano Grand Master (2003) more music like this by Art Tatum Largely self-taught, Art Tatum became one of the most accomplished pianists of the 20th century, and his polyrhythmic inventiveness on the instrument has seldom -- if ever -- been equaled. British record label Proper has assembled a budget-priced, four-disc box set spanning Tatum's prime years, an impressive 90-plus tracks (and a detailed 44 page ... see all copies from $41.59! new only from $41.59!
22 view cover	For Pete's Sake (1998) more music like this by Pete Mayes Pete Mayes was 60 when the singer/guitarist recorded For Pete's Sake, a solid effort that posed the question: "As good as this guy is, why haven't more people heard of him?" The answer is that while Mayes had been highly regarded in Texas blues circles, he didn't record very many albums over the years. Released by the Austin-based Antone's label, ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $15.11!
23 view cover	Really Blue (1998) more music like this by Tom Principato Principato's seventh album continues the tradition of strong guitar work coupled with vocals that are less than scintillating but never offensive, wedded to material that's more of a showcase for his playing than it is actual songs. He gives his blues-shuffle-in-E chops a workout on Johnny Jones' "Sweet Little Woman" (a cleaned-up version of the ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $14.42!
24 view cover	Makin Glory (2006) more music like this by Cile Turner see all copies from $23.65! new only from $23.65!
25 view cover	Highlights from the Mercury R&B Story (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Twenty early R&B hits from the Mercury stable are collected on this sampler (a teaser to the label's eight-disc box set), which features Dinah Washington, Jimmy Witherspoon, Lightnin' Hopkins, Big Bill Broonzy, Memphis Slim and His Orchestra, Arthur Prysock, Johnny Otis and Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson.
