1	The Bob Crosby Orchestra (1990) more music like this by Bob Crosby Orchestra/Bob Cats This 1990 CD has previously unreleased performances from two versions of the Bob Crosby Orchestra in the 1950's. Although not "the most popular orchestra of the 1950s" (as claimed on its back cover), the Crosby ensemble was still pretty strong, although no longer a full-time big band. The 16 performances often sound as if the applause was added ... see all copies from $8.65! new only from $8.65!
2	The Definitive George Shearing (2002) more music like this by George Shearing British-born pianist George Shearing's work for the MGM and Capitol record labels from the late '40s to the early '60s is collected on this 21-track compilation. Beginning with four tracks recorded for MGM in 1949 with his unique quintet of guitar, bass, drums, and vibraphone (which would double the melody he was playing with his right hand), ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $10.35!
3	Capitol Collectors Series (1991) more music like this by The Four Freshmen This is an excellent and well-annotated collection of the best of this '50s harmony group. Charles S. Wolfe, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.29! new only from $10.73!
4	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 11: Organs in Orbit (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The organ has a respected slot in the space age pop/lounge lineup, and Organs in Orbit gives the Hammond its due by featuring 18 cuts in the style, originally recorded for Capitol in the 1950s and 1960s. It's a long way from here to Jimmy Smith, and you should check any hopes for funkiness at the door. If you've got a yen for the inimitable ... see all copies from $9.61! new only from $9.61!
5	Sinatra and Swingin' Brass (1962) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Sinatra and Swingin' Brass, a collection of brash, bold up-tempo numbers, followed the all-ballads effort Sinatra and Strings. Working with Neal Hefti, Sinatra turned in a robust, energetic performance, which was infectious even when his voice was showing signs of wear -- he was suffering from a cold during the sessions. The record captures the ... see all copies from $9.00!
6	Four! Hampton Hawes!!!! (1958) more music like this by Hampton Hawes Pianist Hampton Hawes' 1950s recordings for the Contemporary label are at such a high level that they could all be given five stars. This outing with bassist Red Mitchell, drummer Shelly Manne, and guitarist Barney Kessel (who is a slight wild card) is also quite successful. Two previously unreleased numbers ("Thou Swell" and "The Awful Truth") ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
7	Golden Touch (1994) more music like this by Frankie Carle see all copies from $3.97! new only from $13.37!
8	Take Me to the Land of Jazz (2001) more music like this by Pee Wee Russell see all copies from $11.30! new only from $11.30!
9	Such Sweet Sorrow (1995) more music like this by Michael Feinstein Michael Feinstein's label debut for Atlantic was a thematic album of sad love songs, but the emphasis was more on the sweet than the sorrow; this was no album of saloon songs like Frank Sinatra's Only the Lonely. As often as not, Feinstein simply chose songs of not-yet-requited love, like Cole Porter's "Easy to Love" or Leo Robin and Lewis Gensler ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.31!
10	Lullaby of Birdland (1949) more music like this by George Shearing This double LP from 1986, although not "complete," does a fine job of summing up the MGM recordings of the George Shearing Quintet. The popular group is heard at its best on such songs as "September in the Rain," "East of the Sun," "Conception," "Tenderly," "Pick Yourself Up," and the original version of "Lullaby of Birdland." With such sidemen as ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $14.98!

12 view cover	Up in Duke's Workshop (1969) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra This CD reissue is primarily for Duke Ellington completists and scholars. Some of the performances are runthroughs of works that would soon be discarded or rewritten while others are true obscurities. Best is trumpeter Cootie Williams' feature on "Love Is Just Around the Corner" and a jam on "Blem." There are also several spots for organist Wild ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.99!
13 view cover	Billy Crystal Presents: The Milt Gabler Story [CD/DVD] (2005) more music like this by Original Soundtrack At first glance, a CD of jazz tracks handpicked by comedian/actor Billy Crystal may seem an odd bird. However, given that Crystal's uncle, Commodore Records founder Milt Gabler, produced most of the cuts included here, it actually makes more sense than many similar-themed albums with tracks picked by musicians. Thanks to the family connection, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.12!

15 view cover	Let's Go to Town with Billy May & His Orchestra (2002) more music like this by Billy May Let's Go to Town with Billy May & His Orchestra is a double-disc, 46-track overview of his pop hits recorded in the '40s. This anthology includes songs with vocal appearances by Peggy Lee, Willie Smith, Sherry Kay and Margaret Whiting, and soothing instrumental versions of "All of Me," "When Your Lover Has Gone," "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues" ... see all copies from $6.69! new only from $11.46!
16 view cover	Cape Codfather (2000) more music like this by Ruby Braff Time can rob a horn player of his/her chops, but it certainly doesn't have to be that way. Alto saxophonist Benny Carter and the late trumpeter Doc Cheatham, for example, were still playing their instruments remarkably well when they reached 90, had either of them retired at 70, it would have been a tremendous loss for jazz. Meanwhile, Ruby Braff ... see all copies from $9.02! new only from $9.02!
17 view cover	Live in Concert 1974 (2003) more music like this by The Kings of Jazz featuring Kenny Davern This accurately named group came about when, following a European tour by the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra in the spring of 1974, British impresario Eddie Kennedy asked the orchestra's trumpeter, Pee Wee Erwin, to select a smaller ensemble for a tour of England, Germany, and Sweden later in the year. The resulting octet was basically a who's who of ... see all copies from $7.37! new only from $10.37!

19 view cover	The Essential Buck Clayton (1953) more music like this by Buck Clayton This excellent CD contains over 80 minutes of music and reissues 14 of the 16 selections included on a two-LP set from 1977. There are three (rather than five) numbers from a date led by pianist Mel Powell that features trumpeter Buck Clayton and clarinetist Edmond Hall, eight songs from the 1957 Buck Clayton septet (with trombonist Vic Dickenson ... see all copies from $15.24! new only from $15.24!

21 view cover	Great Girl Singers: Original Recordings 1952-57 (1988) more music like this by Various Artists With 22 tracks split between Rosemary Clooney, Helen O'Connell, and June Christy, this set features three of the classiest jazz and pop singers of the 1950s, and although it might have been better had each of the singer's songs been grouped together (it's all mix and match here), it's still a pleasant collection. Highlights include Christy's "Love ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $8.98!
22 view cover	Imagination (1958) more music like this by Billy Eckstine see all copies from $7.00!
23 view cover	The Town Hall Concerts, Vol. 11 (1945) more music like this by Eddie Condon The 11th and final Jazzology set that documents all of Eddie Condon's legendary Town Hall concerts of 1944-45 is a three-CD release. In addition to having five complete shows, there are a couple of briefer demo programs that were never aired before. Although not containing as many heights (or guest artists) as previous programs, there is plenty of ... see all copies from $32.50! new only from $37.55!
24 view cover	Jazz in Paris: Paris One Night Stand (2001) more music like this by Earl Hines The two 1957 sessions that make up this CD featuring Earl Hines with a pickup rhythm section in Paris were recorded originally for Phillips, with bassist Guy Pedersen and drummer Gus Wallez. The pianist is in top form, including just a little of the Dixieland repertoire ("Royal Garden Blues" and "Muskrat Ramble") that typically dominated most of ... see all copies from $5.88! new only from $5.88!
