1	Origins: The Savoy Sessions (2002) more music like this by J.J. Johnson Origins: The Savoy Sessions combines tracks off several of trombonist J.J. Johnson's early-career Savoy label sessions, including J.J. Johnson's Jazz Quintets and Jay and Kai. Given that these albums go in and out of print, this budget compilation seems like an acceptable addition to Johnson's catalog -- though diehards will still want to seek out ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!

3	J. J. Johnson's Jazz Quintets (1946) more music like this by J.J Johnson & Jazz Quintets One can fault this CD for having brief playing time (a dozen selections totaling less than 33 minutes) and for not including the alternate takes, but the music is beyond criticism.

Music-wise, there are ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $3.00!
5	The Savoy Story, Vol. 1: Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The old Savoy catalog gets bounced around from one distributor to the next like an unwanted foster child, with everyone starting from scratch once they get a hold of it. By 1999, it was Atlantic's turn and, hot on the heels of other label retrospectives, they have compiled a very good three-CD anthology of Savoy's jazz activities over 15 years in ... see all copies from $34.98! new only from $34.98!
