1	On the Sunny Side of the Street (1963) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Vocalist Ella Fitzgerald and bandleader/pianist Count Basie came together on a July (15 & 16) 1963 date arranged by Quincy Jones. It was originally issued as Ella & Basie!. It was later reissued with slightly different cover art as On the Sunny Side of the Street. The music remained the same, a controlled, tough big band hiply backing the ... see all copies from $6.45! new only from $10.76!

3	Our Delights (1978) more music like this by Tommy Flanagan with Hank Jones Piano duets have the potential danger of getting overcrowded and a bit incoherent, but neither happens on this rather delightful set. Hank Jones and Tommy Flanagan, two of the four great jazz pianists (along with Barry Harris and Roland Hanna) to emerge from Detroit in the '40s and '50s, have similar styles and their mutual respect is obvious. ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $10.06!
4	Body and Soul (1951) more music like this by Erroll Garner As was the case with Fats Waller, Erroll Garner's natural and advanced musical talent ingratiated him to jazz aficionados and experts alike. Garner took to the piano intuitively, never needing to take lessons because of his exceptional ear for music. Further breaking the mold, he transcended many of the jazz styles he came up with, including both ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $5.47!

6	1947 Transcription Performances (1999) more music like this by Claude Thornhill These big-band sessions start to hint at bebop from the opener, "Robbins' Nest," but concentrate on American popular standards. You hear young arranger Gil Evans, Lee Konitz on alto sax/clarinet, and trumpeter Red Rodney, who would go on to define the bop stance. There's one Edvard Grieg composition, a lone Thornhill classic original ("Snowfall"), ... see all copies from $10.36! new only from $10.36!
7	Eximious (1982) more music like this by Joe Pass Joe Pass took time off from his solo guitar projects to record this excellent trio set with bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and drummer Martin Drew. Pass swings hard throughout, is consistently inventive within the bebop tradition, and indulges in close interplay with Pedersen. Together, these musicians make the wondrous seem effortless. ... see all copies from $8.70! new only from $8.70!

10	Most Much (1961) more music like this by Jimmy Forrest Jimmy Forrest was a very consistent tenor, able to infuse bop and swing standards with soul and his distinctive tone. With the assistance of pianist Hugh Lawson, bassist Tommy Potter, drummer Clarendon Johnson and Ray Barretto on congas, Forrest explores mostly veteran tunes, such as a jumping "Annie Laurie," and the calypso "Matilda," a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
11 view cover	Delmark - 50 Years of Jazz and Blues: Jazz (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Delmark's 50 Years of Jazz and Blues is a decent budget-priced 28-cut retrospective highlighting the types of jazz the Chicago label has championed since its beginning in 1953, from Dixieland, bop, and free jazz to modern experimental. Not only does it include exceptional material by Illinois Jacquet, Muhal Richard Abrams, Sun Ra, Ira Sullivan, ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $16.24!

13 view cover	1946-47 Performances, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Claude Thornhill & His Orchestra The U.K.'s Hep label continues its tribute to Claude Thornhill & His Orchestra with this second volume devoted specifically to recordings made in 1946 and 1947. Opening with a pair of definitively rare transcription discs from an unspecified date in 1946, this exciting compilation plows through the standard Thornhill session discography from ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!
14 view cover	My Kind of Trouble (1986) more music like this by Benny Carter With the exception of one song, Benny Carter had never previously recorded with an organist during his first 60 years on record. This Pablo set teams the classic Carter alto with organist Art Hillery and guitarist Joe Pass in a fine quintet. Actually, other than the instrumentation, there is little unusual about this date. On four Carter ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
15 view cover	Night & Day (1996) more music like this by Pete Petersen & The Collection Jazz Orchestra Night & Day celebrates the return of Peter Petersen's dynamic Collection Jazz Orchestra to the recording studio after a seven-year hiatus. This is far too long an absence for this aggregation, one of the leading champions of big-band music today. This session is a sophisticated, swinging affair by a regular big-band ensemble augmented by French ... see all copies from $10.23! new only from $10.29!

18 view cover	Jumpin' at Apollo (2002) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet Illinois Jacquet jumped from being a little-known 19-year-old to the tenor to emulate when he soloed on "Flying Home" in Lionel Hampton's band in 1942. This, in turn, brought him to the attention of Cab Calloway in 1943 and eventually helped him found his own band in the mid-'40s. Jumpin' at Apollo delivers 23 tunes Jacquet recorded as a leader ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $10.98!

20 view cover	1948 Transcription Performance (1948) more music like this by Claude Thornhill This CD has the only existing performances of the Claude Thornhill Orchestra from 1948, a year when a recording strike kept most bands off of records. With many charts by Gil Evans or Gerry Mulligan, the Thornhill big band was often quite bop-oriented and featured fine solos from clarinetist Danny Polo, altoist Lee Konitz and the tenor of Mickey ... see all copies from $10.96! new only from $10.96!

So here, Joe Williams is the man on the spot, and he comes up with 16 of his favorite Ella tunes, a good connoisseur's mix of orchestrated ballads, pure jazz workouts, sessions with big bands ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $5.95!
