2	Reflections on Duke (1998) more music like this by Jean-Yves Thibaudet This young, stupendously gifted French classical virtuoso follows up his Bill Evans album with a similar attempt to pull Duke Ellington into the classical repertoire, rushed out just in time for the Ellington centennial. While there are direct transcriptions, this time listeners mostly hear arrangements of tunes prepared by a battery of skilled ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $14.56!
3	For My Father (2005) more music like this by Hank Jones Grand jazz master pianist and octogenarian Hank Jones is accompanied here by bassist George Mraz and drummer Dennis Mackrel. The program is a collection of jazz and pop standards that Jones has undoubtedly played countless times before, and it matters not a whit. His sense of refinement, elegance, and swing saturates the proceedings. Whether it's ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!

5	The Very Best of the Duke Ellington Song Book (2007) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald For jazz fans, Ella Fitzgerald's Sings the Duke Ellington Song Book is by far the best in her Song Book series.

6	The Roy Haynes Trio (2000) more music like this by Roy Haynes Trio with Danilo Perez And John Patitucci Roy Haynes has had a long career, and the generically titled The Roy Haynes Trio featuring Danilo Perez and John Patitucci is a long CD, approaching 70 minutes, that attempts to recap that career in the form of new performances and, to a surprising extent, succeeds. The drummer had just turned 74 when this album was released, and had been ... see all copies from $8.64! new only from $9.46!
7	This Here Is Bobby Timmons (1960) more music like this by Bobby Timmons This is a classic Riverside set that has been reissued on CD in the Original Jazz Classics series. Pianist Bobby Timmons by early 1960 had already had successful stints with Art Blakey (where he contributed "Moanin'") and Canonball Adderley (writing "This Here" and "Date Dere"). For his first recording as a leader, Timmons (whose "funky" style was ... see all copies from $10.05! new only from $10.05!
8	Old Flames (1993) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Sonny Rollins mostly sticks to standard ballads on this excellent CD which finds him joined by trombonist Clifton Anderson, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Bob Cranshaw, drummer Jack DeJohnette and, on two selections, a five-piece brass choir arranged by Jimmy Heath. Comfortable and occasionally passionate music by one of the classic tenor ... see all copies from $4.70! new only from $9.39!
9	The Best of Duke Ellington [Capitol] (1989) more music like this by Duke Ellington Best of Duke Ellington is a ten-track budget-priced collection that features some of his biggest pop hits, including "Jump for Joy," "New Mood Indigo, " "Mack the Knife" and "Where's the Music?, " but there are also a lot of songs that won't be particularly familiar to large audiences. Furthermore, the sampler nature of this disc -- especially ... see all copies from $4.96! new only from $7.03!

This excellent compilation rescues from obscurity 27 recordings cut between 1933 and 1941 for the Vocalion, "Victor" and Decca labels. Himber played the violin; his orchestra contained a ... see all copies from $10.83! new only from $10.83!
12 view cover	Blue Light/Hi-Fi Ellington Uptown (2006) more music like this by Duke Ellington These two original Duke Ellington albums on one CD from the Columbia Records vaults are quite different. Blue Light consists mostly of ballads originally recorded in the late '30s and not initially released until the early '50s. Included are two standards, the classic "Prelude to a Kiss" and lengthy epic "Reminiscing in Tempo." From 1951, Hi-Fi ... see all copies from $8.13! new only from $8.13!

17 view cover	Duke Ellington's Greatest Hits [Pro Arte] (1989) more music like this by Various Artists This is a good beginner's companion compilation to go with the more recent one released in connection with the Ken Burns Jazz documentary. However, the chronological scope of this one is quite limited. There is one track each from 1928 and 1967, but all of the other 13 tracks were recorded for RCA between 1941-46. However, some well-known songs ... see all copies from $2.00!
18 view cover	The Duke at His Best (1999) more music like this by Duke Ellington A disc with a title like this always seems to be open to scrutiny and usually comes up far short of what the title boasts. But this one takes all its hits ("Take the 'A' Train," "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," "Caravan," "I'm Beginning to See the Light," "Caravan," "Perdido," "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," "Sophisticated Lady," "I Got It ... see all copies from $7.95!

20 view cover	Air Mail Special (1981) more music like this by Terry Gibbs with Buddy DeFranco Air Mail Special, a reissue CD put out in 1990, has seven of the eight songs originally on Palo Alto's Jazz Party/First Time Together and three numbers from the Tall Trees release Now's The Time. Since both of those labels are extinct, this was a welcome reissue although it would have been preferable to have the two original sets intact. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
