1	Night Train (1962) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Trio Verve's Master Edition of the Oscar Peterson Trio date released as Night Train includes stately covers of blues and R&B standards like "The Honeydripper," "C-Jam Blues," "Georgia on My Mind," "Bags' Groove," "Moten Swing," and "Things Ain't What They Used to Be."

2	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $14.29! new only from $50.06!
3	Introducing Kenny Burrell: The First Blue Note Sessions (2000) more music like this by Kenny Burrell see all copies from $23.82! new only from $23.82!
4	Ralph Ellison: Living With Music (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This compilation is based around the book Living With Music: Ralph Ellison's Jazz Writings, and co-produced and annotated by that volume's editor, Robert G. O'Meally. The idea is to assemble various pieces of music with some connection to Ellison or his writings, with the specific threads -- a direct comment Ellison might have made on a track, for ... see all copies from $14.75!
5	Big Band Jazz, Vol. 1: From the Beginning to the Fifties (1983) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $49.95!
6	The Hard Way (1996) more music like this by William Clarke His fourth CD from Alligator is his jazziest and bluesist recording to date. Clarke has written half of the compositions and put his own sound and style on those he did not write. Highlights include "The Boss" (inspired by saxophonist Willis Jackson) which is a fast jump that finds chromatic harp riffing along with a horn section -- some ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $11.15!
7	The Arranger's Touch (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $23.04! new only from $23.04!
8	Andy Kirk & The 12 Clouds of Joy (1994) more music like this by Andy Kirk Amidst the day's heavy hitters -- Ellington, Basie, and Goodman -- Andy Kirk's band made a name for themselves with some of the tightest swing of the '30s. Their prime stretch came in the latter half of the decade, as pianist and arranger Mary Lou Williams became a dominant force in the group. This fine ASV overview tells part of the story with 22 ... see all copies from $11.30! new only from $11.30!
9	Jazz Kansas City Style (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $17.01! new only from $17.01!
10	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 $15.27! new only from $15.27!
11 view cover	For Basie (2006) more music like this by Randy Reinhart/Jesper Thilo see all copies from $17.90! new only from $17.90!
12 view cover	The Gene Ammons Story: Organ Combos (1960) more music like this by Gene Ammons Gene Ammons recorded frequently for Prestige during the 1950s and early '60s and virtually all of the tenor's dates were quite rewarding. This two-LP set reissues Twistin' the Jug plus part of Angel Eyes and Velvet Soul. Ammons, a bop-based but very versatile soloist, sounds quite comfortable playing a variety of standards and lesser-known ... see all copies from $16.46! new only from $16.46!
13 view cover	Swinging Sounds of Great Bands (1999) more music like this by Glen Gray And Casa Loma Orchestra see all copies from $9.10! new only from $14.25!
14 view cover	One Kettle for Count (2007) more music like this by Gary Tole Trombonist Gary Tole leads a swinging big band, but its repertoire doesn't merely consist of the decades-old charts that offer nothing new. Although the music shows the influence of Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Benny Goodman, the charts of the familiar songs from each of these band's books are updated for the 21st century, while never ... see all copies from $6.63! new only from $6.63!
15 view cover	Hittin' on All Six (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz guitar fans should be thrilled by this lavish box set from Proper. Just as they did with they equally impressive survey of jazz drumming (Engine Room: A History of Jazz Drumming From Storyville to 52nd Street), the English label focuses here on one of the less-hailed components of the jazz firmament. Including extensive sessionographies, ... see all copies from $22.11! new only from $22.11!
16 view cover	Swingin' the Blues (2000) more music like this by Claude "Fiddler" Williams "Fiddler" Williams was born in Oklahoma and is only one year younger than his home state. At 91 years of age, he still has that flash that made him a legendary swing musician; his chops are as sweet as ever. Backed by an excellent group of musicians that includes Henry Butler on piano, Joe Cohn on guitar and Bobby Watson on alto sax, Fiddler digs ... see all copies from $15.27! new only from $15.29!
17 view cover	Pagin' Mr. Page (2000) more music like this by Hot Lips Page Some would undercut Page's greatness by merely calling him an Armstrong imitator who spent more time singing than blowing. But this best-of overview shows him to be a fine bandleader, with charm aplenty and chops to blow the walls down. Kicking off with Bennie Moten's 1932 "Moten's Swing," the set also includes Page's own sides from 1938 and 1940 ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $17.41!
18 view cover	Ready-Get Set-Jump (1992) more music like this by Woody Herman & His Orchestra see all copies from $6.49! new only from $12.93!
19 view cover	Paris All-Star Blues: A Tribute (1989) more music like this by Jay McShann The Jay McShann orchestra of the early 1940s, best known for having among its sidemen Charlie Parker, only lasted a few years, but made its impact on jazz history. In 1989, pianist McShann had a rare opportunity to record with a big band, a truly all-star outfit. Included among the illustrious players on this CD are trumpeters Clark Terry, Terence ... see all copies from $18.69!
20 view cover	More Conversations in Swing Guitar (2003) more music like this by Duke Robillard Many improvisers would agree that having the feeling of the blues is a crucial part of jazz expression; however, the jazz and blues worlds don't interact nearly as often as they should. There are jazz musicians who will play Miles Davis' "All Blues" or Charlie Parker's "Parker's Mood" on a regular basis but wouldn't know John Lee Hooker from ... see all copies from $15.52! new only from $15.52!
21 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!
22 view cover	Juggernaut (1976) more music like this by Frank Capp with Nat Pierce The debut recording by the Frankie Capp-Nat Pierce Juggernaut features a big band full of all-stars playing swing standards in the style of Count Basie; the CD reissue adds two selections to the original set. With such soloists as trombonist Buster Cooper, tenors Richie Kamuca and Plas Johnson, trumpeter Blue Mitchell, altoist Marshal Royal and ... see all copies from $18.00!
23 view cover	Black Lion Connoisseur/Lions Abroad, Vol. 1: Tenor Titans (1996) more music like this by Various Artists A two-disc set of largely European recordings made by visiting and touring American tenor jazzmen between 1962 and 1971. The only ringer is a New York date from 1962 with Bud Freeman and a 1946 session with Wardell Gray. The material is good and most of the players sound relaxed, even if the European musicians don't always play in the pocket. ... see all copies from $8.99!
24 view cover	How Hi the Fi/Jumpin at the Woodside (2008) more music like this by Buck Clayton For whatever odd reason, trumpeter Buck Clayton took a back seat to many other swing to big-band brass soloists, and undeservedly so. This combination of two of his albums for the Columbia label represents Clayton and his many all-star friends in an amenable jam session format, able to discourse at length post-melody. The first four extended ... see all copies from $11.97! new only from $11.97!
25 view cover	Jazz Guitar [Golden Stars] (2007) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $26.19! new only from $26.19!
