1	Jazz for Kids: Sing, Clap, Wiggle and Shake (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Verve's Jazz for Kids: Sing, Clap, Wiggle and Shake is a wonderful collection of kid-friendly novelty tunes by some of the biggest names in jazz. Fun, funny, and breezy, the collection will have both kids and parents dancing as well as singing, clapping, wiggling, and shaking. Helping the party along are wild tracks by Ella Fitzgerald (the ... see all copies from $9.88! new only from $9.88!
2	You, You, You (& You) (2007) more music like this by The Ames Brothers Born of Russian Jewish parentage in Malden, MA, Joe, Gene, Vic, and Ed Urick anglicized their surname into the All-American-sounding "Ames," inadvertently forever aligning themselves with a city on the banks of the Skunk River in central Iowa. Resoundingly emblematic of wholesome U.S. pop culture during the 1950s, the Ames Brothers are roundly ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $10.77!
3	To Each His Own more music like this by Eddy Howard & His Orchestra see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.83!

7	Big Rock Rooster (2002) more music like this by Daddy a Go-Go see all copies from $2.56! new only from $4.88!
8	The Best of Ames Brothers (1988) more music like this by The Ames Brothers Though their early hits recorded for Coral (now MCA) will probably be anthologized at some point, this one features all their biggest and best: "You, You, You," "The Man with the Banjo, " "Melodie d'Amour, " "Tammy, " and "The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane." Smooth as silk. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.00! new only from $29.99!
9	Too Young: Hits of the '50s (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.26! new only from $9.26!
10	Memories (1993) more music like this by The Davis Sisters Bear Family does its usual astonishingly thorough job on this double-CD compilation, which has no less than 59 tracks recorded by both incarnations of the Davis sisters between 1952 and 1956 (as well as a brief 1957 Skeeter Davis solo take on "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels)." The RCA singles are embellished by numerous outtakes, ... see all copies from $39.75! new only from $39.75!
11 view cover	Live from Chicago (1998) more music like this by The Mighty Blue Kings So much of the retro-swing craze is defined by its dynamic performance aesthetic: this stuff doesn't warm you up, it fires you off. Live-gig swing albums thus make sense in ways that studios can't quite capture. The Mighty Blue Kings' lusty, athletic, and completely up-to-the-minute lounge act contributes a vocally dominant, more jazz-based ... see all copies from $2.36!
12 view cover	They, They, They Are the Ones (2004) more music like this by The Ames Brothers see all copies from $8.49! new only from $20.59!
13 view cover	Meet Me in Uptown (1996) more music like this by The Mighty Blue Kings Yet another band to emerge out of the '90s swing revival scene, but these guys came out before Brian Setzer hit it big, before the movie Swingers was ever scripted and before those Gap ads taught us how to "Jump, Jive an' Wail." It's safe to say that Chicago's Mighty Blue Kings were ahead of their time before any trend bandwagon hit. And with ... see all copies from $3.00!
14 view cover	Pee Wee King's Biggest Hits/Country Barn Dance (2004) more music like this by Pee Wee King Though little-known today, Pee Wee King was a bandleader who helped modernize country music by adding electric instruments. Even more enduring, perhaps, is the fact that he helped write "Tennessee Waltz." Biggest Hits/Country Barn Dance is a two-fer from RCA's back catalog, and offers a good snapshot of King's popular style of Western swing. ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
15 view cover	Hamp: The Legendary Decca Recordings (1996) more music like this by Lionel Hampton A very nice two-disc set indeed, with a wonderful cross section of Hampton's career, with the focus rightfully on the pre-1950 stage, with the final few cuts taking Hampton as far as a 1963 club date with trumpeter Charlie Teagarden. The music here is often delicate, spun from silver, and it's doubtful you'll find a better compilation of jazz ... see all copies from $40.69! new only from $99.99!
16 view cover	Flying Home [Living Era] (2003) more music like this by Lionel Hampton The recordings of Lionel Hampton have rarely been treated with as much respect as on ASV/Living Era's two-disc collection titled after his biggest hit, Flyin' Home. It takes in a mere 20 years of his career, from his debut with the vibraphone in 1930 (on the hit "Memories of You," thanks to a suggestion by leader Louis Armstrong) to the end of the ... see all copies from $22.09! new only from $22.09!
17 view cover	Band's A-Rockin' (1996) more music like this by Johnnie Lee Wills Band's a-Rockin' includes 27 songs -- 70-plus minutes -- of radio transcriptions dating between 1941 and 1951, and some of the hottest Western swing you're ever going to hear. The title track is pretty cool, but then Johnnie Lee Wills kicks it into high gear with "Boogie Woogie Highball," a jazzy, swingin' instrumental that could've been part of ... see all copies from $14.86! new only from $14.86!
18 view cover	America's Greatest Hits, Vol. 1: 1950 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $5.64! new only from $5.64!
19 view cover	Jumpin' at the Mardi Gras (2000) more music like this by Joe Lutcher This is quite a comprehensive collection (25 tracks) for a relatively minor early R&B performer. However, it shouldn't be considered a best-of as it only covers his stint with Modern in the late '40s and early '50s, not including any of his Capitol and Specialty material, and thus omitting the R&B hits "Shuffle Woogie" and "The Rockin' Boogie" ... see all copies from $16.57! new only from $16.57!
20 view cover	The Real '50s (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.36! new only from $9.36!
21 view cover	Rock Baby Rock It: 1955-1960 (1996) more music like this by Johnny Carroll Johnny Carroll's 1956 recording of "Wild Wild Women," with its lean rockabilly arrangement and exciting vocal performance that owes little debt to Elvis Presley, is one of the greatest early rock & roll singles. Unfortunately, the record wasn't a hit and Carroll bounced from label to label without much success, making a little rockabilly and ... see all copies from $16.65! new only from $16.65!
22 view cover	Complete 1949-1950 Columbia Master Takes (2003) more music like this by Jimmy Dorsey & His Original Dorseyland Jazz Band see all copies from $16.44! new only from $16.44!
23 view cover	Music from the Korean War Years, Vol. 1 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
24 view cover	Tennessee Saturday Night: The Rural Route to Rock 'N' Roll (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This collection of western swing workouts, guitar boogies and amped-up country and blues shuffles from the late '40s and early '50s illustrates once again that rock & roll didn't just come out of nowhere when Elvis Presley first stepped to the microphone in Sam Phillips' Sun Studios in Memphis in 1954. All of rock & roll's basic motifs are ... see all copies from $10.08! new only from $10.08!
25 view cover	Complete Recordings With Lionel Hampton (2003) more music like this by Wes Montgomery/Lionel Hampton see all copies from $24.37! new only from $24.37!
