1	The Definitive Cannonball Adderley (2002) more music like this by Cannonball Adderley This single-CD sampler of Cannonball Adderley's career points out how difficult it is to get all of his accomplishments on one disc. Drawing from the Emarcy, Blue Note, and Capitol catalog (with one number leased from World Pacific), the ten songs are programmed in chronological order. There are five boppish selections from 1957-1959, including ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
2	Time Signatures: A Career Retrospective (1946) more music like this by Dave Brubeck This four-CD boxed set does a near-perfect job of summing up Dave Brubeck's extensive recorded legacy. Drawing its recordings from not only Columbia but Fantasy, Atlantic and Music Masters, the attractive package also includes an extensive booklet written by Doug Ramsey that can serve as a mini-biography. The focus is naturally on the Brubeck ... see all copies from $15.47! new only from $155.95!
3	At Newport '63/Jump for Joy (1997) more music like this by Joe Williams This Collectables single-disc collects two very good albums Joe Williams recorded for RCA from the early '60s. While the presentation of this collection could have been better -- the packaging looks a little cheap and the sound isn't all it could have been -- both of these records are quite good and this is a good way to collect both records on ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
4	By Himself: Arbors Piano Series, Vol. 3 (1998) more music like this by Dave Frishberg Dave Frishberg had not recorded a strictly instrumental solo piano record in many years when he cut this 1997 Arbors set. Actually he does vocalize on four numbers (most memorable is his classic "I Want To Be A Sideman" and a remake of "Can't Take You Nowhere"), the other ten songs put the focus purely on his underrated but swinging mainstream ... see all copies from $3.93! new only from $9.85!
5	The Ellington Legacy (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	Continuum (1974) more music like this by Mercer Ellington Although Duke Ellington passed away on May 24, 1974, this posthumous effort can be thought of as his orchestra's final record. Duke's son Mercer took over the big band and at least for a short time still had some surviving veterans in which to form a nucleus. Baritonist Harry Carney is heard on two numbers (taking a solo on "Drop Me Off in Harlem" ... see all copies from $6.60! new only from $6.60!
7	Johnny (1963) more music like this by Johnny Mathis This 1963 album was Johnny's first with arranger/bandleader Don Costa, and it's one of his best. It's a nice blend of standards, show tunes and then-new compositions, with Costa's arrangements fitting like a glove around Mathis' pipes. Everything on here works just fine, but pay special attention to "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World," "I Can't ... see all copies from $15.59!
8	Free Spirits (1961) more music like this by Chris Connor Chris Connor's smoky voice made her a natural fit for torch songs, but her flair for improvisation expanded her considerable talents to include upbeat material as well. Free Spirits, an excellent small-group date arranged for her by Al Cohn, features Connor in a range of settings; remember, free spirits don't necessarily mean high spirits. The ... see all copies from $8.51! new only from $8.51!
9	Jazz Moods: A Great Day of Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A three-CD collection of the jazz compilations that hit the top of the charts and became the favorite background sounds of new jazz fans everywhere, this set has compilations for each part of a jazz lover's day. Stacia Proefrock, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.84! new only from $5.84!
10	Central Avenue Sounds: Jazz in Los Angeles 1921-1956 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Los Angeles is not usually seen as a hotbed of African-American musical creativity in the first half of the 20th century, but this deluxe box set deflates that misconception in a hurry. From 1921 to 1956 -- the time frame covered by the four discs of Central Avenue Sounds -- jazz of all kinds flourished on Central Avenue, L.A.'s main stem of sepia ... see all copies from $33.80! new only from $45.99!
11 view cover	Duke Ellington & His World Famous Orchestra (1946-1947) (1946) more music like this by Duke Ellington This mid-priced triple-CD box (originally five separate LPs) contains 64 tracks recorded by Ellington and his band for radio broadcast between March 28, 1946 and June 10, 1947. This was a period in which the Ellington band was, if anything, underrecorded -- he'd ended his longtime stay on RCA-Victor and was moving to Musicraft and then on to ... see all copies from $17.99! new only from $22.49!
12 view cover	Jazz Moods: Jazz at Day's End (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz Moods: Jazz at Days' End is a collection of upbeat jazz for the end of the day. Tracks like Scott Hamilton's "Jump for Joy," Carol Sloane's "Take Your Shoes Off, Baby," the Gene Harris Quartet's "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams," and Al Cohn's "When Day Is Done" define the compilation's joyful, relaxed air. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.49! new only from $9.33!
13 view cover	Jump for Joy (1963) more music like this by Joe Williams Here the classic singer is backed by a big band (and in some cases a smaller group from the orchestra) arranged by Oliver Nelson and Jimmy Jones. Doing his best to escape from the stereotype of being strictly a blues singer, Williams performs both superior standards and obscurities on the spirited LP. Highlights include "Wrap Your Troubles in ... see all copies from $6.00!
14 view cover	Private Collection, Vol. 1: Studio Sessions, Chicago 1956 (1956) more music like this by Duke Ellington The first of ten CDs of previously unreleased material recorded privately by Ellington between engagements, all of which was eventually reissued first on LMR and then Saja/Atlantic. Each of the sets has its interesting moments, offering previously unknown compositions and performances. Volume One, recorded in Chicago during March and December 1956 ... see all copies from $8.29! new only from $8.29!
15 view cover	Jump for Joy (1969) more music like this by Bobby Short Bobby Short went five years without recording in the mid-'60s as the British Invasion swept all before it. But his Town Hall concerts with Mabel Mercer in 1968 led to live duo albums that brought him back to record stores, and his residency at the Cafe Carlyle in New York gave him renewed cachet. Thus, he returned to the recording studio for Jump ... see all copies from $8.94! new only from $8.94!

17 view cover	Jump for Joy (2003) more music like this by Ernie Andrews Journeyman vocalist Ernie Andrews soars on the momentum achieved on his previous disc, Girl Talk, with his third High Note release, Jump for Joy. Featuring his usual partners in crime, tenor saxophonist Houston Person, pianist Aaron Graves, bassist John Webber, and drummer Alvin Atkinson, Andrews showcases his superb sense of timing and regal ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!

19 view cover	Cocktail Hour: The Crooners (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $28.04!
20 view cover	The Duke at His Best (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington A disc with a title like this always seems to be open to scrutiny and usually comes up far short of what the title boasts. But this one takes all its hits ("Take the 'A' Train," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," "Caravan," "I'm Beginning to See the Light," "Caravan," "Perdido," "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," "Sophisticated Lady," "I Got It ... see all copies from $7.95!
21 view cover	1969: All-Star White House Tribute (2002) more music like this by Duke Ellington One of the undeniable highlights of President Richard Nixon's administration was the 1969 White House gala celebrating Duke Ellington's 70th birthday, though jazz fans waited 33 years for their release. The all-star band includes trumpeters Clark Terry and Bill Berry, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, guitarist ... see all copies from $15.40! new only from $15.40!
22 view cover	With Strings/Jump for Joy (1955) more music like this by Cannonball Adderley This CD reissues two complete LPs from near the beginning of altoist Cannonball Adderley's career. The first session is quite unusual for Adderley (who was completely unknown just a few months earlier) was given a very early opportunity to record with strings. He sounds fine on 11 standards and Terry Gibbs's "Lonely Dreams" but mostly sticks near ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.14!
23 view cover	The RCA Years (1998) more music like this by Kay Starr The RCA Years is a 20-track survey of Kay Starr's late-'50s recordings for RCA, which fell between better-documented stints with Capitol Records. The collection is a curious one in that it focuses on album tracks rather than hits, omitting such seemingly obvious candidates as her number one hit "Rock and Roll Waltz." The RCA Years does present ... see all copies from $5.21!

25 view cover	The Best of Duke Ellington/New Mood Indigo (2001) more music like this by Duke Ellington In 2001, Collectables released The Best of Duke Ellington/New Mood Indigo, which combined two Duke Ellington albums on one compact disc: The Best of Duke Ellington (1989) and New Mood Indigo (1962), both originally issued on Columbia.
