1	Ella at Juan-Les-Pins (1964) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald One of the forgotten live LPs from the career of vocal jazz's most impressive live artist, Ella at Juan-Les-Pins found Ella Fitzgerald at the Fifth Festival Mondial du Jazz Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, France, in July 1964, working with a great group: trumpeter Roy Eldridge, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Bill Yancey, and drummer Gus Johnson. The ... see all copies from $23.00! new only from $34.83!

3	Lush Life [Red Baron] (1964) more music like this by Billy Strayhorn Although not initially released until 1992, 25 years after composer Billy Strayhorn's death, this is his definitive CD. Strayhorn is heard singing "Lush Life" while backed by the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1964 (his voice is not strong but his phrasing is quite sincere), jamming on piano with flügelhornist Clark Terry and Bob Wilbur (on clarinet ... see all copies from $17.00!
4	First Lady of Song (1993) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This attractive three-CD set gives listeners an overview of Ella Fitzgerald's Verve recordings, although the inclusion of seven previously unissued cuts (in addition to 44 that are mostly available in more complete form elsewhere) will frustrate some completists. However the careful selection of representative performances along with the ... see all copies from $17.98! new only from $43.96!
5	In a Mellotone (1940) more music like this by Duke Ellington This CD is a straight reissue of an RCA album from the early '60s. Comprised of 16 performances by Duke Ellington's Orchestra during what many consider to be his peak period, the program is highlighted by such classics as the original version of "Take the 'A' Train," "Just A-Settin' and A-Rockin'," "I Got It Bad," "Perdido," "Cotton Tail" and "All ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $355.45!
6	Best of Ella Fitzgerald: First Lady of Song (1994) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Comprising 16 of the 51 tracks (one-third) from the original First Lady of Song three-CD collection, this edited single disc is for those disinclined to purchase the full set or complete works. It might be advisable first to search for any full album sides of specific sessions or tributes to composers that Ella Fitzgerald had done, but this ... see all copies from $4.66! new only from $9.38!
7	The Ellington Legacy (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Jazz (1991) more music like this by Cleo Laine Cleo Laine has always had a beautiful voice with a very wide range and she sounds her best in jazz settings. Laine isn't that much of a jazz singer herself since she does not improvise (her scatting passages tend to be played in unison with her husband, John Dankworth) but she swings. Jazz is one of her best sets of the '90s, teaming her with five ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $155.55!
9	Dem Bones (2001) more music like this by Carla Cook Carla Cook's Dem Bones follows her critically acclaimed and commercially successful Maxjazz debut, It's All About Love. The Grammy-nominated artist taps into her diverse musical influences and presents a musical autobiography reflected in 11 songs. The precision of her multi-hued voice is accompanied by such great musicians as Cyrus Chestnut on ... see all copies from $15.67! new only from $15.67!
10	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!
11 view cover	Best of Swing [Disky] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A three-CD box set that rounds up 68 classic recordings from jazz's most popular period.

12 view cover	Havin' a Good Time (1964) more music like this by Joe Williams/Ben Webster This CD fills an important gap in the discographies of both Joe Williams and Ben Webster. While Williams was in town for a week-long gig at Pio's in Providence, Rhode Island, he and his group (pianist Junior Mance, bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Mickey Roker) were surprised to find Ben Webster in the club one night, so he was invited to sit in. ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $11.12!

14 view cover	The Peaceful Side (1961) more music like this by Billy Strayhorn This is a little-known and rather melancholy set, virtually Billy Strayhorn's only recording away from the world of Duke Ellington. The focus is totally on Strayhorn's piano throughout his interpretations of ten of his compositions (including "Lush Life," "Take the 'A' Train," and "Something to Live For"). Three selections have the Paris Blue ... see all copies from $19.00!
15 view cover	Day Dream: Variations on Strayhorn (2002) more music like this by Darius de Haas The son of bass player Eddie de Haas, who worked with Chet Baker and Von Freeman, singer Darius de Haas has looked to other areas to make his mark as an entertainer. He's appeared on the musical stage, won an Obie award for The Running Man, and appeared in Spike Lee's Malcolm X. De Haas has dedicated his debut album to the works of the forever ... see all copies from $14.10! new only from $14.10!
16 view cover	Golden Greats: Greatest Swing (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This is a three-CD budget collection of many great swing tunes performed by the biggest names in swing music. The sound quality is good, as are the performances, but the lack of discographical information could be frustrating to jazz aficionados. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.23! new only from $19.19!
17 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!

20 view cover	The Original Ellington Suite (2000) more music like this by Chico Hamilton & Eric Dolphy This release will have fans of Eric Dolphy salivating as it includes some long-lost work that jazz scholars didn't know existed at all. When the premiere reissue producer Michael Cuscuna researched all known Pacific Jazz tapes attributed to Chico Hamilton, all he came across were three edited numbers from this session, two of which had appeared on ... see all copies from $10.57! new only from $10.57!
21 view cover	Oscar Peterson Plays the Duke Ellington Song Book [Compilation] (1999) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Twice in the 1950s, pianist Oscar Peterson recorded an extensive series of songbooks devoted to one composer. From 1952-53, Peterson, guitarist Barney Kessel and bassist Ray Brown were extensively documented; in 1959, the pianist joined up with Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen to repeat many of the programs (since the group had changed and the music ... see all copies from $9.57! new only from $9.57!
22 view cover	The Jazz Giants Play Duke Ellington: Caravan (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Duke Ellington is one of the true irreducibles in jazz. Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker were more brilliant as soloists, but neither could touch him as a bandleader, composer, or musical visionary. This entry in Prestige's Jazz Giants series finds some of the greatest names in jazz applying their prestigious chops to some of Duke Ellington's ... see all copies from $10.87! new only from $10.87!

25 view cover	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!
