1	A Swingin' Affair! (1957) more music like this by Frank Sinatra In some ways, A Swingin' Affair! is "Songs for Swingin' Lovers!, Pt. 2," following the same formula of Sinatra's hit album of the previous year. Beneath the surface, there are enough variations on A Swingin' Affair! to make it a distinctive, and equally enjoyable listen. The most noticeable difference between the two records is their basic ... see all copies from $8.71! new only from $15.11!
2	Pure Ella: The Very Best of Ella Fitzgerald (1998) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Pure Ella: The Very Best of Ella Fitzgerald is an excellent 18-track collection that features many of her best recordings, which also happen to be among her most popular, including "A-Tisket, a-Tasket," "They Can't Take That Away from Me," "Night and Day," "My Funny Valentine," "Take the 'A' Train," "How High the Moon," "All the Things You Are," ... see all copies from $7.32! new only from $13.34!
3	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!
4	The Best of Pete Fountain [GRP] (1961) more music like this by Pete Fountain Although this CD draws its 22 selections from clarinetist Pete Fountain's best period (his years on the Coral label), the selections picked are sometimes a bit eccentric. Fountain is heard playing Dixieland with some of his bands, but is also joined by -- choral groups and occasional strings; no personnel listing or even recording dates are ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $7.89!
5	The Essential George Gershwin (2003) more music like this by George Gershwin Although there are a couple of pieces performed by George Gershwin himself, the rest of this two-CD, 41-track compilation, The Essential George Gershwin, is devoted to interpretations of his works. It's impressive in its stylistic and chronological sprawl, though inconsistent. Spanning 1925-2002 (though most of it predates 1970), the performances ... see all copies from $10.81! new only from $17.47!
6	The Best of Django Reinhardt [Capitol/Blue Note] (1996) more music like this by Django Reinhardt Tread cautiously when the title of an album starts off with the phrase "the best of." It's not that the music on the album will be lacking, but that the introductory phrase is so subjective, it should make a prospective of the album, at the minimum, a bit wary; it would be somewhat more honest to title such compilations "Some of the Best of..." In ... see all copies from $13.53! new only from $14.43!
7	The Reprise Collection (1961) more music like this by Frank Sinatra Like The Capitol Years, the four-disc box set The Reprise Collection was released to celebrate Frank Sinatra's 75th anniversary. However, it works as a better sampler than the Capitol set, partially because Sinatra released so many albums on Reprise that it is necessary to have an introduction to such a large body of work. Also, his Reprise ... see all copies from $3.00!
8	The Classic Early Recordings in Chronological Order (2000) more music like this by Django Reinhardt This budget five-disc box collects Reinhardt's first 124 recordings between 1934-1939. Curiously enough, despite the title, these sides aren't chronological, a fact that engineer Ted Kendall admits in the liner notes. Rather, while each disc's featured sessions are presented mostly chronologically, the discs themselves are rather awkwardly ... see all copies from $25.50! new only from $25.50!
9	Erroll Garner's Finest Hour (2003) more music like this by Erroll Garner Erroll Garner's Finest Hour contains tracks recorded by the pianist for Verve between 1945 and 1955, and truly does represent his best material for the imprint. This is where he developed his sublime melodic and harmonic improvisation technique. Cuts like "Embraceable You," with his fluid right hand dancing over the keys, or his nearly definitive ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
10	Manhattan (1978) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Recorded especially for the Woody Allen film, this soundtrack contains one side "Rhapsody in Blue" (Zubin Mehta conducting the New York Philharmonic less than a year after assuming the post) with another side a medley of George Gershwin's songs orchestrated and adapted by Tom Pierson. The film Manhattan was Allen's love letter to his favorite city ... see all copies from $3.90! new only from $6.78!
11 view cover	The Best of the Songbooks: The Ballads (1994) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald see all copies from $3.85! new only from $10.29!
12 view cover	Fred Astaire's Finest Hour (2003) more music like this by Fred Astaire It's obvious from a moment's thought that Fred Astaire's finest hour occurred in the movie studio, not the recording studio. And while Astaire's musical career was fine indeed, his best performances date from the '30s, when "Night and Day" or "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails" weren't pop standards but a pair of magical, effervescent songs just ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $8.05!
13 view cover	First Lady of Song (1949) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This attractive three-CD set gives listeners an overview of Ella Fitzgerald's Verve recordings, although the inclusion of seven previously unissued cuts (in addition to 44 that are mostly available in more complete form elsewhere) will frustrate some completists. However the careful selection of representative performances along with the ... see all copies from $20.22! new only from $20.22!
14 view cover	The Essential Artie Shaw (2005) more music like this by Artie Shaw The Essential Artie Shaw collects 38 tracks recorded between 1938 and 1953 for Bluebird. The compilation does an admiral job of showcasing Shaw's skills as bandleader, composer, showman, and musician. The focus of the disc is mainly instrumentals, both in small-group and orchestral settings, with a few tracks spotlighting the vocals of Helen ... see all copies from $11.94! new only from $11.94!
15 view cover	To Ella with Love (1996) more music like this by Ann Hampton Callaway Ann Hampton Callaway has a strong reputation as one of the top cabaret singers of the 1990's but, unlike most others in that idiom, she is also a talented jazz singer. Callaway, who has a beautiful voice with a wide range, always swings while giving strong emphasis to the lyrics she is interpreting. Her ambitious and successful Ella Fitzgerald ... see all copies from $15.81! new only from $15.81!
16 view cover	Odyssey: 1945-1952 (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This excellent three-disc set contains 64 great songs performed by Dizzy Gillespie and company in varied settings. Odyssey: 1945-1952 chronicles the master trumpeter in small groups, big bands, a session with strings, and also some blues. Among the rare treats on the collection are a full-fledged Gillespie big band score "Interlude (A Night in ... see all copies from $41.19! new only from $41.19!
17 view cover	Pete's Beat (1992) more music like this by Pete Fountain see all copies from $5.26! new only from $5.26!
18 view cover	Playful Virtuosity (2007) more music like this by Meral Guneyman and Dick Hyman This CD may serve as an introduction for many jazz fans to Turkish pianist Meral Guneyman, who is predominately a classical player with an affinity for jazz. She shares the spotlight with Dick Hyman, an accomplished performer in both jazz and classical music, with a long stretch of his career working in studios on all kinds of musical projects. ... see all copies from $11.84! new only from $11.84!
19 view cover	For the First Time (1974) more music like this by Count Basie Trio Throughout his career, Count Basie was modest about his own abilities as a pianist, and his success at streamlining his style to the bare essentials often made listeners underrate his playing talents. This 1974 session was a rarity, an opportunity for Basie to be featured in a trio setting (with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Louie Bellson), during ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.91!
20 view cover	Zoot Sims and the Gershwin Brothers (1975) more music like this by Zoot Sims Along with his album with Count Basie (Basie and Zoot) during the same period, this is one of Sims' most exciting recordings of his career. Greatly assisted by pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist George Mraz, and drummer Grady Tate, he explores ten songs written by George and Ira Gershwin. Somehow the magic was definitely present ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $10.71!
21 view cover	Rhapsody in Blue (1996) more music like this by 101 Strings Orchestra see all copies from $4.28! new only from $4.28!
22 view cover	The Real Kansas City (1925) more music like this by Various Artists Put together to coincide with the release of Robert Altman's film Kansas City, this sampler traces the evolution of Kansas City jazz from 1925-39. Certainly recommended much more for general listeners than for completists, this CD has fine music (fortunately programmed in chronological order) from Bennie Moten, Jesse Stone, Julia Lee, George E. ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $11.06!
23 view cover	Basie's Best [Charly] (1942) more music like this by Count Basie Although it does not live up to its title, this budget LP contains two interesting broadcasts by Count Basie's orchestra. The two sessions (the earlier of which is also mostly included on the Alamac LP Count Basie - 1937) find the band in excellent early form with spots for Lester Young, Buck Clayton and Herschel Evans. However the personnel ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.00!
24 view cover	The Complete Norman Granz Jam Sessions (2004) more music like this by Norman Granz The historic Norman Granz Jam Sessions, recorded between 1952-1954 for Clef and Mercury, are among the most treasured jam sets of all time. The nine separate albums featured the crème de la crème of New York's jazz community from Charlie Parker to Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges, Oscar Peterson, Lionel Hampton and Max Roach and dozens ... see all copies from $53.85! new only from $53.85!
25 view cover	We All Love Ella: Celebrating the First Lady of Song [15 Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Despite her name on the cover and her photos in the credits, Ella Fitzgerald's shadow doesn't loom over this tribute album, which is a good thing. A succession of female vocalists (plus Michael Bublé and Stevie Wonder) pay tribute to Fitzgerald with their own interpretations of her best-known standards. Despite the fact that few of the singers ... see all copies from $6.60! new only from $16.81!
