1	Midnight Sun (1993) more music like this by Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra Although firmly identified with Benny Goodman and the swing era, vibraphonist Lionel Hampton led one of the most bop-oriented and forward-looking big bands of the mid-to-late '40s; for proof of that check out "Mingus Fingers" (by Charles Mingus) on this CD. This set reissues some of Hampton's most boppish sides from 1946-47 along with the original ... see all copies from $6.00!
2	The Lionel Hampton Story (2001) more music like this by Lionel Hampton see all copies from $14.69! new only from $17.59!
3	Eddie My Love (1993) more music like this by The Teen Queens Both sides of all six of the singles the Teen Queens did for RPM are contained on this retrospective of material that they cut for Modern between 1955 and 1957, along with five LP-only tracks, a few outtakes, and a brief radio commercial. The Teen Queens are more notable than the usual one-hit wonders: They were among the very few female doo wop ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $11.30!
4	The Savoy Story, Vol. 1: Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The old Savoy catalog gets bounced around from one distributor to the next like an unwanted foster child, with everyone starting from scratch once they get a hold of it. By 1999, it was Atlantic's turn and, hot on the heels of other label retrospectives, they have compiled a very good three-CD anthology of Savoy's jazz activities over 15 years in ... see all copies from $30.84! new only from $30.84!
5	Live at the Lava Lounge (1997) more music like this by The Blue Hawaiians Live at the Lava Lounge is a modest fireball of hipster cover tunes performed by the swingers of the surf torch, the Blue Hawaiians. Earning points for authenticity, the quartet members pay tribute to the likes of Jerry Cole and Lee Hazlewood, but they'll frequently pepper things up with wild cards like the jazz staple "Caravan," Lionel Hampton's ... see all copies from $12.80!
6	King Pleasure Sings/Annie Ross Sings (1952) more music like this by King Pleasure with Annie Ross The brief life span of classic jazz vocalese singing found its first inspiration in these King Pleasure sides. Pleasure vocalized many bebop solos by the likes of James Moody, Charlie Parker, and Lester Young, often adding his own hip and witty lyrics to the mix. Initially issued on his debut, Moody's Mood for Love, the first eight sides here ... see all copies from $9.42! new only from $9.42!
7	Jumpin' & Jivin' [Specialty] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists If you ever wanted to get an idea of just how wide the parameters of jump blues actually were in their heyday, this 25-track collection will go a long way toward spelling it out. Acquiring various labels' catalogs can sometime make for strange compilation bedfellows and never more so than here, a three-way collision between Specialty's West Coast ... see all copies from $6.40! new only from $17.15!
8	Sophisticated Giant (1977) more music like this by Dexter Gordon This excellent Columbia album was recorded less than a year after Dexter Gordon's well-publicized tour of the United States following a dozen years spent living in Europe. With assistance from such other major players as trumpeters Woody Shaw and Benny Bailey, vibraphonist Bobby Gordon sounds in superlative form on Woody Shaw's "The Moontrame," ... see all copies from $10.00!
9	Eight String Swing (1988) more music like this by Mike Auldridge As the title suggests, Mike Auldridge recorded Eight String Swing with a specially-made, eight-string dobro, which helped him ease his music out of traditional bluegrass and into country, jazz, western swing, and folk. Auldridge is joined by several of his Seldom Scene cohorts and fiddler Jimmy Arnold on the album, and the sympathetic support adds ... see all copies from $3.96! new only from $11.26!
10	Central Avenue Sounds: Jazz in Los Angeles 1921-1956 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Los Angeles is not usually seen as a hotbed of African-American musical creativity in the first half of the 20th century, but this deluxe box set deflates that misconception in a hurry. From 1921 to 1956 -- the time frame covered by the four discs of Central Avenue Sounds -- jazz of all kinds flourished on Central Avenue, L.A.'s main stem of sepia ... see all copies from $33.80! new only from $45.99!
11	Chillin' (1999) more music like this by David "Fathead" Newman David "Fathead" Newman has recorded many albums through the years in a variety of contexts and on several instruments. This straight-ahead effort is pretty definitive of his jazz abilities, for it has Newman making four appearances on tenor, two on soprano, and one apiece on flute and alto. Accompanied by vibraphonist Bryan Carrott, pianist John ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!
12 view cover	Hamp's Big Band (1959) more music like this by Lionel Hampton see all copies from $6.00!
13 view cover	Best of Swing [Disky] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A three-CD box set that rounds up 68 classic recordings from jazz's most popular period. Both big hits and rarities are aboard from Benny Goodman, Jimmie Lunceford, Count Basie, Artie Shaw, Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Glenn Miller, Bunny Berigan, Gene Krupa, Harry James, the Dorsey Brothers, and Woody Herman. Along with the big names are also ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $20.55!
14 view cover	Hamp (1997) more music like this by Billy Marcus Marcus takes Lionel Hampton's vibraphone runs and transfers them very nicely to piano for this energetic outing. The opening "Flying Home" cooks very nicely indeed, and Marcus doesn't turn down the heat until the album ends. An excellent jazz album and a terrific dance set. Steven McDonald, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.25!
15 view cover	Where Were You? (1990) more music like this by Joey DeFrancesco On his second recording, organist Joey DeFrancesco is heard in settings ranging from a quartet to a large orchestra. Although he is generally the main star, DeFrancesco welcomes such guests as tenors Illinois Jacquet and Kirk Whalum (heard on two songs apiece, including both jamming on "Red Top") and guitarist John Scofield. DeFrancesco holds his ... see all copies from $3.10!
16 view cover	Golden Greats: Greatest Swing (2002) more music like this by Various Artists This is a three-CD budget collection of many great swing tunes performed by the biggest names in swing music. The sound quality is good, as are the performances, but the lack of discographical information could be frustrating to jazz aficionados. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.23! new only from $19.19!
17 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!
18 view cover	Jazz with a Twist/Explosion! The Sound of Slide Hampton (2000) more music like this by Slide Hampton This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out-of-print Slide Hampton LPs: Jazz With a Twist and Explosion! The Sound of Slide Hampton, both originally issued on Atlantic in 1961 and 1962. Highlights among the 18 tracks include "Mack the Knife," "Red Top," and "Slide's Blues," which provide a perfect combination of bop and mainstream jazz. ... see all copies from $12.99! new only from $12.99!
19 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!
20 view cover	The Bebop Singers [1999] (1950) more music like this by Various Artists Drawing almost entirely upon the Prestige archives, with one detour to the Hifijazz label, Fantasy has managed to touch most of the bases of early-'50s vocalese on one invaluable disc. Inevitably, attention clusters around a handful of singers -- King Pleasure, Eddie Jefferson, Annie Ross, Jon Hendricks, Irv Taylor, and Joe Carroll -- but there ... see all copies from $16.34! new only from $16.34!
21 view cover	From Me to You: A Tribute to Lionel Hampton (2003) more music like this by Terry Gibbs Early in his career, vibraphonist Terry Gibbs was encouraged by Lionel Hampton, who actually asked him to join his band (though Hamp's wife, Gladys, nixed the deal). Many decades later, Gibbs pays tribute to Hampton on this enjoyable set. Using a band of Los Angeles musicians including tenor saxophonist Pete Christlieb, organist Joey DeFrancesco, ... see all copies from $15.67! new only from $15.67!
22 view cover	Revisited (2002) more music like this by Lionel Hampton see all copies from $1.99!
23 view cover	Love Is a Hurtin' Thing: The Silk & Soul of Lou Rawls (1997) more music like this by Lou Rawls A strong collection of Lou Rawls' biggest and most soulful singles from his late-'60s Capitol material, Love Is a Hurtin' Thing includes classics like "Dead End Street," "Bring It on Home," "Another Saturday Night" and, of course, the title track. Although the set is rather short, every track is a killer. John Bush, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.42!
24 view cover	Birdseed (1992) more music like this by Lou Donaldson Like fellow alto saxophonists Phil Woods, Jackie McLean, Frank Morgan, Ernie Henry, and Sonny Criss, Lou Donaldson started out with a very Charlie Parker-like tone but went on to develop a recognizable sound of his own. Bird's influence never disappeared from Donaldson's playing, although he successfully combined that influence with many ideas of ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $3.75!
25	The Best of Dexter Gordon (1980) more music like this by Dexter Gordon see all copies from $8.00!
