1	The Essential Duke Ellington [Sony] (2005) more music like this by Duke Ellington The Essential Duke Ellington, a two-CD set, differs from previous Columbia/Legacy Duke Ellington reissues in that the music is drawn not only from Sony's vaults but from BMG's vaults, too. Four selections are from the 1920s, 20 date from the 1930s, seven are from the 1940s, and the final six were recorded between 1950 and 1960. Is this an ... see all copies from $21.33! new only from $21.33!
2	Did I Remember (2007) more music like this by Bob Stewart Bob Stewart has long referred to himself as a "saloon singer," so the material on this compilation, drawn from four earlier CDs for his VWC label should come as no surprise. A gifted vocalist with a just a touch of vibrato, Stewart explores a number of popular standards and a few songs that have unjustly fallen out of favor. His best moments occur ... see all copies from $11.17! new only from $11.17!
3	Rendezvous: Jazz for Intimate Dining (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.36!
4	An Evening with Earl Hines (1973) more music like this by Earl Hines This double LP is valuable as documentation of Earl Hines and his band on a typical gig in 1973. Marva Josie has a few vocals and Tiny Grimes contributes some guitar solos but the leader/pianist is easily the main star, romping on such tunes as "Perdido," "Boogie Woogie on the St. Louis Blues" and "Lester Leaps In." Swinging (if not essential) ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $27.45!

7	Struttin' (1995) more music like this by John Bunch John Bunch has long been a very flexible pianist able to play Dixieland, swing, bop and more modern material with equal skill. His set of duets with bassist Phil Flanigan on his Arbors CD may have an intimate and quiet sound, but there is plenty of diversity in tempos and some heat generated. Whether it be Benny Harris' "Crazeology," a jazz ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $10.37!
8	Menza Lines (2005) more music like this by The Don Menza Big Band Team a major arranger (Don Menza) with some of Los Angeles' top musicians and superior straight-ahead material and the result is a memorable big band recording. Many of the selections heard on this live date are based on familiar chord changes, with "Gravy" being better known as "Walkin'," "Faviana" actually being a disguised "Stella by Starlight, ... see all copies from $11.46! new only from $14.25!
9	Don Friedman at Maybeck (1993) more music like this by Don Friedman Don Friedman had been active as a jazz pianist for nearly 40 years by the time of this solo concert at Maybeck Recital Hall in 1993, yet still deserving of wider recognition. Friedman's performance is a breathtaking from the first track to the last, beginning with his incredible interpretation of Dave Brubeck's "In Your Own Sweet Way." His ... see all copies from $17.93! new only from $54.26!
10	Me and the Blues/The Song Is You (1997) more music like this by Joe Williams This Collectables single-disc collects two very good albums Joe Williams recorded for RCA from the early '60s. While the presentation of this collection could have been better -- the packaging looks a little cheap and the sound isn't all it could have been -- both of these records are quite good and this is a good way to collect both records on ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.37!

14 view cover	The Jazz Giants Play Duke Ellington: Caravan (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Duke Ellington is one of the true irreducibles in jazz. Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker were more brilliant as soloists, but neither could touch him as a bandleader, composer, or musical visionary. This entry in Prestige's Jazz Giants series finds some of the greatest names in jazz applying their prestigious chops to some of Duke Ellington's ... see all copies from $10.87! new only from $10.87!

18 view cover	Moments Like This (1994) more music like this by Charlie Byrd This recording is a true gem in Charlie Byrd's extensive discography. What makes it special is that there is a de-emphasis on bossa nova (there are still a few tunes), freeing up Byrd to explore other styles such as Dixieland and blues. The results are often breathtaking thanks in no small part to the excellent contributions of clarinetist Ken ... see all copies from $9.90!
19 view cover	Mr. Gentle Mr. Cool (1994) more music like this by David "Fathead" Newman David "Fathead" Newman is in excellent form on this tasteful program of 11 Duke Ellington compositions. Performing in a sextet with trombonist Jim Pugh, pianist David Leonhardt, bassist Peter Washington, Ron Carter on piccolo bass and drummer Lewis Nash, Newman splits his time between tenor and alto and takes a flute solo on "Azure." The music ... see all copies from $2.99!

21 view cover	A Night in Dublin (2001) more music like this by Dick Wellstood The great stride pianist Dick Wellstood, who died in 1987, was best heard as a soloist in a live setting, which this CD is. This performance, taped during a 1977 appearance in a Dublin, Ireland, bar called the Merrion Inn, was discovered in 2000 by clarinetist Kenny Davern in the home of an Irish fan, who had recorded it with Wellstood's ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!

As it happens, The Best of the Complete Duke Ellington RCA/Victor Recordings: The Mid Forties Recordings is an excerpt of an excerpt, selecting the 18 finest cuts from the ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $5.00!
