1	This Is the Dirty Dozen Brass Band Collection (2005) more music like this by The Dirty Dozen Brass Band By kicking up the beat and adding in elements of bop, R&B and funk to the century-old tradition of funeral and parade standards practiced by New Orleans street bands, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band has almost single-handedly revitalized the genre over the past 30 years, and with an outstanding horn lineup that generally includes trumpets, saxes, ... see all copies from $14.45! new only from $14.45!
2	Chanson du Vieux Carre (2007) more music like this by Harry Connick, Jr. Chanson du Vieux Carre should simply be titled Harry Connick, Jr.'s New Orleans album. The material chosen for this set is comprised of jazz tunes associated with the Crescent City, or simply tunes Connick wrote about it. According to the liner notes, he arranged it all on his computer while traveling from gig to gig over a period of years. The ... see all copies from $7.43! new only from $11.21!
3	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 [Box] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ... see all copies from $51.31! new only from $69.10!
4	Walking to New Orleans [Box] (2002) more music like this by Fats Domino Of all the early rock & rollers, Fats Domino gets a short shrift. Too easygoing for rockers, too popular for New Orleans R&B devotees, he fell into a middle ground -- a middle ground that was extremely popular at the time, but didn't give him the proper respect within hipster history, probably because his music is just so damn enjoyable. Few ... see all copies from $44.00! new only from $44.00!
5	A Celebration of New Orleans Music to Benefit the Musicares Hurricane Relief (2005) more music like this by Various Artists A collection of tracks from the Rounder Records and Marsalis Music labels assembled as a benefit to assist the Musicares Hurricane Relief project following the ravages of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, A Celebration of New Orleans Music samples nearly 65 years of music from the Crescent City, and includes second-line brass bands, R&B, modern jazz, ... see all copies from $8.75! new only from $15.40!
6	The Best of Louisiana Music [Rounder] (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Louisiana music has been one of Rounder's strong points in the 1980s and 1990s -- not only zydeco and Cajun music, but also soul, blues, jazz, and rock. In 1993, the Boston-area label opened its own vaults to assemble The Best of Louisiana Music, which isn't essential, but is enjoyable on the whole. Nathan & the Zydeco Cha Chas' "Your Mama Don't ... see all copies from $3.76! new only from $6.87!
7	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974, Vol. 1: 1947-1952 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.82! new only from $14.82!
8	Mardi Gras in New Orleans [Rounder] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists First of all, this compilation is produced by Scott Billington, a guy who has become Rounder Records' link to all that's hot and tasty in New Orleans (never mind the rest of Louisiana). Aside from the rest of an impressive list of credits, he has produced several excellent compilations prior to this effort, mostly focusing on Cajun and zydeco of ... see all copies from $11.94! new only from $11.94!
9	Mardi Gras Time (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The party spirit of New Orleans' annual festival is captured on Mardi Gras Time, a lively collection of tracks from the likes of Marcia Ball, Snooks Eaglin, Beau Jacque and Earl King. Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.51! new only from $6.51!

12 view cover	Rock 'n Roll Gumbo [Sunnyside] (2006) more music like this by Professor Longhair This delightful Professor Longhair album has almost slipped through the cracks more times than a skinny feather in the wind. Recorded in April 1974 in Bogalusa, LA (Professor Longhair's birthplace) just days after his house had burned to the ground, the sessions feature Longhair on piano and vocals, longtime friend Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown on ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $9.77!

14 view cover	Live at Montreux (1974) more music like this by Fats Domino Recorded in 1973, Live in Montreux features Fats Domino running through all of his greatest hits -- "Blueberry Hill," "Ain't That A Shame," "I'm Walking," and several others. Domino is in good spirits and his band is competent, but they deliver no real sparks. It's an enjoyable live album, but it offers nothing out of the ordinary, so only ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.02!
15 view cover	D-Boy (1997) more music like this by New Birth Brass Band New Birth Brass Band are one of the groups to come out of the new wave of brass band music in New Orleans, started by the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Fusing traditional brass band music with contemporary sounds is the genius of this style. Its spiritual father was the late, great Danny Barker, who set up a school for brass musicians so that the old ... see all copies from $3.77! new only from $14.93!
16 view cover	Mardi Gras in New Orleans (1981) more music like this by Professor Longhair Plenty of rarities are featured on Mardi Gras in New Orleans, making it a valuable cross-section of Professor Longhair's early releases. Both sides of the pianist's first two 78s for Star Talent Records are aboard, as well as sides he cut for Mercury, Federal ("Curly Haired Baby," "Gone So Long"), Wasco ("East St. Louis Baby"), Atlantic, and Ebb. ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $13.40!
17 view cover	Mardi Gras in Baton Rouge (1991) more music like this by Professor Longhair Some of the earliest sides from Longhair's rediscovery period (1971-72), featuring a lot of tunes inexorably associated with him through previous versions and a few ("Jambalaya," "Sick and Tired") that weren't. An added bonus is the magical presence of guitarist Snooks Eaglin, whose approach is every bit as singular as the Professor's was. Bill ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $11.23!
18 view cover	Fabulous Mr. D/Fats Domino Swings (1998) more music like this by Fats Domino In 1998, Collectables released Fabulous Mr. D/Fats Domino Swings, which contained two complete albums -- Fabulous Mr. D (1958, originally released on Imperial) and Fats Domino Swings (1958, also originally released on Imperial) -- by New Orleans rock & roll pioneer Fats Domino on one compact disc.

20 view cover	New Orleans Brass Bands: Down Yonder (1989) more music like this by Various Artists This Rounder LP features four different brass bands. Dejan's Olympia Brass, the most traditional one, is not always in tune but shows plenty of spirit on its three numbers. The Chosen Few Brass Band is fine on "Mardi Gras Iko" and the young Rebirth Jazz Band (with trumpeter Kermit Ruffins) romps through "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "My ... see all copies from $9.51! new only from $14.74!
21 view cover	New Orleans Jazz, Vol. 1: Dixieland Jazz! (1995) more music like this by Olympia Brass Band The first of a three-part series by this modern brass band devoted to reproducing vintage music in quasi-authentic style. While it's difficult for me to hear the difference between Dixieland and New Orleans traditional, the listener can judge for themselves what the differences are when they hear these songs. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.39!
22 view cover	Way Down Yonder in New Orleans (1997) more music like this by Professor Longhair Way Down Yonder in New Orleans is a somewhat haphazard Professor Longhair collection whose first four tracks were recorded at a live performance in the late 1940s. Steve Huey, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.48! new only from $4.48!
23 view cover	Orleans Inspiration (1989) more music like this by Henry Butler Henry Butler, who had recorded a pair of post-bop sets for MCA/Impulse, switches to New Orleans R&B on this spirited program, cut live at Tipitina's in New Orleans. Assisted by guitarist Leo Nocentelli, bassist Chris Severin, drummer Herman Jackson, and the synthesizer of Michael Goods, Butler puts on a fine show. He plays and sings (in a gospel ... see all copies from $8.03!

25	They Call Me the Fat Man: The Legendary Imperial Recordings (1991) more music like this by Fats Domino If you can't quite finance the Bear Family box, this four-disc compilation is the next best thing; an even 100 of the best Imperial sides, including a great many from 1958 on that turn up in crystal-clear stereo (as they also do on the Bear Family package). All the hits are aboard, along with a nice cross section of the important non-hits. The ... see all copies from $8.00!
