1	Jazz: The Definitive Performances (1999) more music like this by Various Artists To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
2	The Gene Krupa Story [Box Set] (1999) more music like this by Gene Krupa see all copies from $13.00! new only from $23.63!
3	The War: A Ken Burns Film [Deluxe Edition] (2007) more music like this by Original TV Soundtrack The War, directed by Ken Burns, was a seven-part documentary series broadcast on PBS television in 2007, focusing on the experiences of American soldiers in World War II. Much popular music of the period was heard on the soundtrack, as was some music specifically composed and recorded for use in the film. This four-CD set, with the full title The ... see all copies from $15.35! new only from $20.85!
4	Jazz Divas: Gold (2007) more music like this by Various Artists There are no less than 20 CD compilations on the market with the words "Jazz Divas" in the title, and another eight that use the phrase "Divas of Jazz." Those two nouns, so carelessly bandied about, describe improvising female vocalists whose works are an extension of a tradition established by Bessie Smith, Adelaide Hall, Ethel Waters, Mildred ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
5	This Is Hip (2006) more music like this by Anita O'Day Anita O'Day (1919-2006) was a versatile vocalist who adapted well to stylistic changes in jazz, smoothly navigating each transition from swing to bop to cool while honing her individualistic technique. Released during the final year of her long life, Primo's "This is Hip" maps her first decade of recording activity with forty chronologically ... see all copies from $10.54! new only from $10.54!
6	I'm Beginning to See the Light: Dance Hits from the Second World War (2007) more music like this by Various Artists I'm Beginning to See the Light is a companion to, but not the soundtrack for, The War, the 2007 PBS miniseries on World War II produced and directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Whereas the soundtrack features a mix of new and old recordings intended to serve the purpose of the miniseries itself ("[to explore] the history and horror of World War ... see all copies from $5.20! new only from $5.20!
7	Drummer Man (1956) more music like this by Gene Krupa with Anita O'Day and Roy Eldridge Roy Eldridge (trumpet) got the featured billing (along with vocalist Anita O'Day) he deserved on Drummer Man, a date featuring Gene Krupa fronting a big band. This was a reunion of sorts, but one that worked well, better in some cases than the original. The title's a bit misleading, for although Krupa's propulsions were clearly heard, his soloing ... see all copies from $6.31! new only from $8.98!
8	Platinum Collection (2006) more music like this by Mel Tormé see all copies from $14.29! new only from $14.29!
9	Big City Rhythms (1999) more music like this by Michael Feinstein with the Maynard Ferguson Big Ba The pairing of premier era-gone-by pianist/crooner Michael Feinstein and the legendary Maynard Ferguson Big Band is such a rousing success that it's surprising the two didn't think of it before. While the set mainly consists of whatever beautiful, offbeat standards Feinstein hasn't yet had the opportunity to record (including the sassy Bobby Troup ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	A Song Stylist in Swingland (2005) more music like this by Anita O'Day see all copies from $8.50! new only from $8.50!
11 view cover	Swing Time! The Fabulous Big Band Era 1925-1955 (1925) more music like this by Various Artists This three-CD box set does an excellent job of covering the big-band era through 66 recordings (by almost as many orchestras) owned by Columbia. The selections (programmed in chronological order), although emphasizing the 1934-45 era, also include 18 earlier and six later recordings. The 60 Columbia/Okeh sides, which include the real rarities, are ... see all copies from $12.09! new only from $12.09!
12	Compact Jazz: Gene Krupa (1953) more music like this by Gene Krupa This release is an excellent compilation of Krupa's solo work in the mid-'50s, mostly with small ensembles -- so don't look for a version of "Sing, Sing, Sing" here. There are many notable guest appearances. "Drummin' Man" and "Let Me Off Uptown" were arranged by Quincy Jones and feature Anita O'Day on vocals and Roy Eldridge on trumpet. Pianist ... see all copies from $16.99!
13 view cover	Swing Kings (1995) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99!
14 view cover	Let's Swing [Box] (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Let's Swing is a pretty good collection of large-group swing and big-band hits of the '40s. Though it's aimed squarely at the swing-revival audience and includes less than ten tracks per disc, it does have such classics as "One O'Clock Jump" by Count Basie, "Take the 'A' Train" by Duke Ellington, "Why Don't You Do Right" by Benny Goodman, "Flying ... see all copies from $3.64!
15 view cover	Big Band Rhythms (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.88! new only from $9.88!
16 view cover	That Drummer's Band [Fabulous] (2003) more music like this by Gene Krupa see all copies from $5.71! new only from $5.71!
17 view cover	At His Very Best (2006) more music like this by Gene Krupa see all copies from $18.50! new only from $18.50!
18 view cover	A Proper Introduction to Gene Krupa: Up an' Atom (2004) more music like this by Gene Krupa Gene Krupa was the world's first superstar drummer, and if he earned his fame as much because of his flamboyance as his actual talent, he brought drummers out of the shadows and helped set the stage for bop rhythms. This set collects recordings from the 1940s and early '50s, including "Drum Boogie," "Let Me Off Uptown," "Jungle Drums," "Disc ... see all copies from $9.09! new only from $9.09!
19 view cover	Little Jazz: Trumpet Giant (2004) more music like this by Roy Eldridge see all copies from $20.00! new only from $20.00!
20 view cover	Young Anita (2001) more music like this by Anita O'Day Although it's been repackaged and reissued many times in many ways, Anita O'Day's pre-Verve output has never appeared so thoroughly (and so cheaply) as on Proper's four-disc box, Young Anita. Beginning in 1941 with her stint in Gene Krupa's popular band with Roy Eldridge, O'Day made an immediate impression, appearing on the hits "Let Me Off Uptown ... see all copies from $23.63! new only from $23.63!
21 view cover	Drummin' Man [Hallmark] (1999) more music like this by Gene Krupa see all copies from $11.85! new only from $11.85!
22 view cover	The Big Band Years (1999) more music like this by Anita O'Day This excellent European compilation combines 21 recordings Anita O'Day made as the vocalist in Gene Krupa's Orchestra in 1941-42 and 1945, originally released on OKeh and Columbia Records, with four she made with Stan Kenton's band in 1944-45, originally released on Capitol. All the chart hits she scored with the groups are included: "Georgia On ... see all copies from $16.43! new only from $16.43!
23 view cover	Masterpieces, Vol. 13 (1995) more music like this by Gene Krupa see all copies from $6.89!
24 view cover	On the Montreal Scene (1995) more music like this by Johnny O'Neal Pianist Johnny O'Neal displays several sides to his musical personality on this CD. On some tunes, particularly the uptempo romps, he sounds very influenced by Oscar Peterson, yet he also has his own brand of soul, which comes to the forefront on the ballads. During two numbers ("While the Blood Is Running Warm" and, most logically, "Come Sunday") ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
25 view cover	Feeling Like a Dream (1995) more music like this by Larry Clinton By the time Larry Clinton & His Orchestra had recorded the 24 selections on this CD, their star singer, Bea Wain, had left to start her own solo career, but Peggy Mann proved to be a fine replacement. Butch Stone (who would soon become associated with Les Brown's band) was an asset (more as a good-humored singer than as a baritonist) and the ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
