1	Blue Rose (1956) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney Rosemary Clooney may have seemed to be a surprising choice to be featured with Duke Ellington & His Orchestra, but this collaboration is extremely successful in spite of the fact that Clooney was unable to join the band in the studio due to complications of a very difficult pregnancy. The solution was for the band to record the music (after Billy ... see all copies from $5.61! new only from $5.61!
2	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!
3	Featuring Paul Gonsalves (1962) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra Tenor saxophonist Paul Gonsalves will be remembered by many for his riotous 27 choruses on the Newport recording of "Diminuendo in Blue and Crescendo in Blue." As with other prime Ellington soloists like Johnny Hodges and Harry Carney, Gonsalves was given ample room to display his wares live and in the studio. Duke's faith in Gonsalves was ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.61!
4	The Duke Ellington and Count Basie Songbooks (1960) more music like this by Mel Tormé Recorded with the Johnny Mandel Orchestra at sessions in Los Angeles, it includes one half Duke Ellington and one half Count Basie plus Leroy Carr's "In the Evening (When the Sun Goes Down)." With all these things going for it, how can Tormé do wrong? Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.90!
5	Best of Duke Ellington: Original Capitol Recording (1992) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $2.01!
6	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!
7	Piano Power (2005) more music like this by Oscar Peterson see all copies from $44.06! new only from $44.06!
8	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!
9	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!
10	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!

12 view cover	Spoon (1961) more music like this by Jimmy Witherspoon This 1961 large-band jazz date places Jimmy Witherspoon on the Reprise label in the company of some heavy hitters -- Teddy Edwards on saxophone, Gerald Wilson on trumpet, Gerald Wiggins on piano, trombonist Herbie Harper, bassist Jimmy Bond, and guitarist Al Viola -- just to name a few. The program on Spoon, of course, is mostly standards, with ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!
13 view cover	A Jazz Odyssey (2002) more music like this by Oscar Peterson This 18-track selection of Oscar Peterson's work was assembled to coincide with the great pianist's autobiography.

14 view cover	Intimacy of the Blues (1967) more music like this by Duke Ellington Small Bands Lots of rare music was uncovered when these recordings were first released. Duke Ellington did a remarkable number of private recordings with small groups taken from his orchestra and the selections included on this CD reissue are some of the best. A "Combo Suite" from 1967 introduces Billy Strayhorn's "Intimacy of the Blues" along with five ... see all copies from $4.75! new only from $9.24!
15 view cover	The Concord Jazz Heritage Series (1974) more music like this by Scott Hamilton Since tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton has recorded over 60 albums as both leader and sideman for the Concord label, starting in 1974, there is no way that a single disc (including this 1998 sampler) could possibly do more than hint at his prolific catalog. On the other hand, Hamilton's swing style is virtually unchanged since his early days, so ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.91!
16 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.

18 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!
19 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!
20 view cover	Big Sounds from the Small Screen (2006) more music like this by Stan Kenton From the Dynaflow label -- the one and the same that has brought us two glorious volumes of the Kenton for Collectors series -- comes this little ace compilation of Stan Kenton's TV soundtracks, Big Sounds from the Small Screen. Not meant to be exhaustive in any sense, this volume compiles TV rarities from 1947-1973 with the '50s and '60s being ... see all copies from $14.50! new only from $14.50!

The sound ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $5.99!
23 view cover	The Song Is You: The Best of the Verve Songbooks (1952) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Pianist Oscar Peterson has made a remarkable number of records through the years and his two songbook series for Verve (each recording features the songs of a different composer) were extensive, to say the least. During 1952-54 he cut ten albums (113 songs) and in 1959 he added nine more records (108 songs), in addition to his regular busy ... see all copies from $10.77! new only from $10.77!
24 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!
25 view cover	Swing Away (1994) more music like this by Lennon Brothers with Gail Lennon First there were the Lennon Brothers who sang with Paul Whiteman in the 1940s and '50s. Then there were the Lennon Sisters, who became famous on The Lawrence Welk Show during the 1950s and '60s. The next generation spawned the second version of the Lennon Brothers, three siblings who are joined by Gail Lennon on this enjoyable swing-oriented date. ... see all copies from $5.72! new only from $5.72!
