1	Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band (2003) more music like this by Duke Ellington Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band, covering the years 1939-1942 in the great composer and bandleader's career, is essentially the third time that RCA has issued this material on CD. The first was a botched job, appalling even, with its flattened-out, compressed sound, along with a chopped version of "Take the A-Train" and other sonic and ... see all copies from $34.29! new only from $34.29!
2	The Carnegie Hall Concerts (January 1943) (1943) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra This two-CD set captures one of the milestones in Duke Ellington's long and extremely productive career, highlighted by his monumental suite "Black, Brown and Beige" in the only full-length version ever recorded by his orchestra; soon it was only performed as excerpts. In addition, Ellington's all-star orchestra (including such stylists as ... see all copies from $21.89! new only from $21.89!
3	Complete Standard Transcriptions (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington These 29 transcription recordings, done for radio broadcast during three sessions in 1941, would normally not be of enormous interest -- the Ellington band from this period is pretty well represented, and his most renowned vocalist, Ivey Anderson, only shows up on one cut. On the other hand, the band represented here was, in the eyes of many ... see all copies from $16.47! new only from $16.47!
4	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!

7	Blowin' the Blues Away (1994) more music like this by The Paradise City Jazz Band see all copies from $18.45! new only from $18.45!
8	International Swing Party (2001) more music like this by Dan Barrett The European Nagel-Heyer label has documented many swing-oriented jams during the past decade. This live set is particularly noteworthy for it features three multi-instrumentalists in the front line. Dan Barrett is best known as a trombonist but he splits his time on this session between trombone and cornet. Tom Baker, who is usually a trumpeter, ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $6.95!
9	Duke Ellington: Complete Columbia and RCA Victor Sessions (2001) more music like this by Duke Ellington/Ben Webster/Jimmy Blanton When BMG issued the Never No Lament sides, a triple-CD package finally remastered with all the right stuff, it would have seemed that the jazz punters finally had a definitive version of the classic Jimmy Blanton/Ben Webster edition of Duke Ellington and His Orchestra. Not so. Spain's Definitive Classics has just issued an audiophile version of ... see all copies from $49.61! new only from $49.61!
10	Treasury Shows, Vol. 6 (2002) more music like this by Duke Ellington The Duke Ellington Treasury Series, which was aired weekly during April-November 1945 and April-October 1946, was initially issued by the Merritt Record Society on LPs in the 1980s. Storyville, in its DETS series, has been not only bringing back all of the music in its two-fer series, but augmenting the broadcasts with other live Ellington ... see all copies from $31.88! new only from $31.88!
11 view cover	The Treasury Shows, Vol. 3 (2001) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra The third two-CD set of Duke Ellington Treasury Shows, which aired beginning in the closing months of World War II, features two complete consecutive weekly programs, including heavily scripted announcements by Bill Abernathy and the likewise, now somewhat amusing, bond pitches by Ellington himself (the politically correct of today will be shocked ... see all copies from $31.69! new only from $31.69!
12 view cover	The Treasury Shows, Vol. 11 (2005) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra The eleventh double-CD in this special D.E.T.S. ( Duke Ellington Treasury Series ) program continues the reissue of all of Ellington's weekly U.S. Treasury-sponsored radio programs. For an hour each week, during 1945 and 1946, Ellington & His Orchestra performed a large chunk of their repertoire including recent originals, famous hits, revivals ... see all copies from $32.11! new only from $32.11!
13 view cover	The Engine Room: A History of Jazz Drumming from Storyville to 52nd Street (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The Proper label continues its stellar jazz box-set series with this mammoth four-disc survey of drummers from early jazz to bebop. Featuring a lavish booklet, detailed sessionographies, and extensive notes, Engine Room: A History of Jazz Drumming From Storyville to 52nd Street is perfect for jazz fans who often look right past blowing frontmen to ... see all copies from $21.14! new only from $21.14!
