1	Take the "A" Train And Other Hits (2003) more music like this by Duke Ellington The ten tracks included here are simply compiled from the great Duke Ellington Orchestra with Jimmy Blanton and Ben Webster: if you look closely on the insert you will see Webster in the bottom left hand corner. While this disc is taken track for track from a Hindsight release of the same name in 1998, these recordings are from the late '30s and ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $5.00!
2	The Best of the Duke Ellington Centennial Edition (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington This compilation of some of Ellington's most popular, enduring, and important RCA Victor sides from a period of 40 years (October 26, 1927, to August 30, 1967) consists of 18 tracks, drawn from the remastered tracks on BMG's 24-CD Ellington Centennial box. That's hardly enough to address the range of changes in Ellington's style, but it does give ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $10.66!
3	Dearest Duke (2007) more music like this by Carol Sloane/Ken Peplowski/Brad Hatfield Jazz vocalist Carol Sloane covers ballads on Dearest Duke, generating a mellow love letter to one of America's greatest jazz composers, Duke Ellington. She's joined in her effort by clarinetist Ken Peplowski and pianist Brad Hatfield for a spare, intimate set that allows Sloane's voice to stand front and center. There is a hazard to stringing a ... see all copies from $11.35! new only from $11.35!
4	Hooray for Love: Great Gentlemen of Song, Vol. 1 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Capitol presents the first in a double-dip tribute to those marvelous-to-maudlin male crooners who dominated the entertainment industries during the two decades that followed the Second World War. This was the golden age of dressing up and posing while putting across pop songs in a debonair and often sentimental manner. Some of these names became ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $11.25!
5	Tammy Grimes/The Unmistakable Tammy Grimes (2004) more music like this by Tammy Grimes This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print LPs by vocalist Tammy Grimes, Tammy Grimes and The Unmistakable Tammy Grimes, both originally issued on Columbia in 1962 and 1963, respectively. Highlights among the 24 tracks include several standards, including "On the Sunny Side of the Street," "Time After Time," and "Bye Bye ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.99!
6	Plays Ellington Songs (2000) more music like this by Harry Allen/Bill Charlap Trio Allen's tenor sax sound is perfectly suited for the music of Duke Ellington. His literate, traditional approach and occasionally Stan Getz-ian breathy tones go to the heart of Duke's melodic and harmonic concepts. Pianist Bill Charlap is excellent through and through, while bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington are dutiful in ... see all copies from $11.37!
7	The Ellington Legacy (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Statesmen of Jazz (1994) more music like this by Statesmen Of Jazz This is a rather historic recording, for it finds altoist Benny Waters, the oldest active jazz musician at a month shy of 93, in surprisingly fiery form; his feature on "Blue Waters" is easily the high point. The other members of the Statesmen of Jazz (a group sponsored by the American Federation of Jazz Societies) are all senior citizens too: ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
9	Live on QE2 (2001) more music like this by Clark Terry Quintet Flugelhornist Clark Terry, who was nearly 79 at the time of this live recording, was still in fine form; in fact, in remarkably good shape considering his age and his instrument. Terry and his regular band of the period (with altoist David Glasser, pianist Don Friedman, bassist Marcus McLaurine, and drummer Sylvia Cuenca) are joined on a number or ... see all copies from $14.72! new only from $14.72!
10	Jazz Is His Old Lady and My Old Man (2003) more music like this by Earl Hines/Marva Josie Earl Hines is joined by singer Marva Josie for this late-'70s studio date, though the album essentially features Josie more prominently than the leader. Hines became impressed upon meeting the singer and recorded with her on a number of sessions between 1970 and 1981, though she seems to have dropped from sight since Hines' death. Buck Clayton ... see all copies from $8.06! new only from $8.06!
11 view cover	Afterglow (1999) more music like this by Johnny Varro Swing 7 Pianist Johnny Varro came closer that anyone in the '90s to play in the flawless swing style of Teddy Wilson. Varro's occasional combos (the one on this CD is called the "Swing 7") are very much in the idiom of late '30s prebop music. Varro, tenor saxophonist Tommy Newsom, Ken Peplowski (on clarinet and his rarely heard alto), trombonist Dan ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
12 view cover	Romance (2005) more music like this by Simone Kopmajer No one will accuse Simone Kopmajer of being one of jazz's forceful, aggressive belters. Her singing is subdued, restrained, subtle and understated -- an approach that serves the Austrian vocalist fairly well on Romance, which was produced by Todd Barkan and finds her joined by pianist John Di Martino (who handles the arrangements), acoustic ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
13 view cover	Spotlight on Lou Rawls (Great Gentlemen of Song) (1996) more music like this by Lou Rawls This 18-track compilation isolates his most pop-oriented output for Capitol in the '60s, consisting largely of standards on the order of "St. James Infirmary," "Stormy Weather, " and "Willow Weep for Me, " often with orchestration. Includes one previously unreleased cut, "When It's Sleepy Time Down South." Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide see all copies from $19.90! new only from $25.57!
14 view cover	For the Nero-Minded/Young and Warm and Wonderful (2000) more music like this by Peter Nero In 2000, Collectables reissued the lush sounds of pianist Peter Nero's For the Nero-Minded/Young and Warm and Wonderful. Both originally released on the RCA imprint in 1962, Nero covers a wide range of familiar standards, gentle ballads, and sophisticated interpretations of Broadway hits. Rob Theakston, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.40! new only from $13.40!
15 view cover	Ebony Rhapsody: The Great Ellington Vocalists (2001) more music like this by Duke Ellington Vocalists were usually given short shrift in Duke Ellington's Orchestra. After all, instead of competing with dozens of the best musicians in the business, the majority of solo-seeking singers would rather work for a leader willing to give them the features they needed to get their name out. And it usually worked -- most of the popular vocalists ... see all copies from $6.84!
16 view cover	The Stars of Las Vegas [Box Set] (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.16! new only from $13.16!
17 view cover	Love Is a Hurtin' Thing: The Silk & Soul of Lou Rawls (1997) more music like this by Lou Rawls A strong collection of Lou Rawls' biggest and most soulful singles from his late-'60s Capitol material, Love Is a Hurtin' Thing includes classics like "Dead End Street," "Bring It on Home," "Another Saturday Night" and, of course, the title track. Although the set is rather short, every track is a killer. John Bush, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.42!
18 view cover	Charlie Byrd at the Village Vanguard (1961) more music like this by Charlie Byrd Shortly before departing on his epochal 1961 State Department tour of South America, the one that ignited his love affair with bossa nova -- and subsequently, ours -- Charlie Byrd played this trio gig at New York City's Village Vanguard. At first, "Just Squeeze Me" goes at an easygoing stroll as Byrd adheres swingingly to the beat, and "Why Was I ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
19 view cover	The Best of the Complete Duke Ellington RCA Victor Recordings, 1944-1946 (2000) more music like this by Duke Ellington Given that the 24-disc set The Complete RCA/Victor Recordings was so large it was only for specialized tastes, it was inevitable that the set would be released in excerpts. As it happens, The Best of the Complete Duke Ellington RCA/Victor Recordings: The Mid Forties Recordings is an excerpt of an excerpt, selecting the 18 finest cuts from the ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!
20 view cover	Masters & Studio Outtakes (2006) more music like this by Janis Martin Rockabilly filly Janis Martin has often been called "the Female Elvis," largely because both artists recorded for RCA, and for a time, Martin had the endorsement of Colonel Tom Parker, but her music doesn't really bear the comparison. While her voice has a Presley-like wobble and she has an easy and natural talent for rock & roll, Martin lacked ... see all copies from $28.08! new only from $28.08!
21 view cover	Positively the Most/Softly, The Brazilian Sound (2007) more music like this by Joanie Sommers Collectors' Choice Music continues their assessment of Joanie Sommers' late-'50s and early-'60s Warner Brothers' releases with this double-play CD containing her inaugural long player Positively the Most (1959) as well as her thematic seventh project, Softly, The Brazilian Sound (1964). Between these platters -- both featuring Sommers in a more ... see all copies from $14.52! new only from $14.52!
