1	Snowfall [Living Era] (2004) more music like this by Claude Thornhill & His Orchestra Any chance to appreciate the imaginative arrangements of Claude Thornhill is worth savoring, as his meticulous determination and playful disposition flutter out with each note he recorded. Living Era's Snowfall collection reflects this quite well; however, each of the recordings on the collection is in mono, and although that might be an exciting ... see all copies from $10.83! new only from $10.83!
2	Piano Power (2005) more music like this by Oscar Peterson see all copies from $44.06! new only from $44.06!
3	Jazz Legends [Laserlight] (1993) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.35!
4	The Illinois Jacquet Story [Box] (2002) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet see all copies from $15.24! new only from $15.24!
5	Encores in Hi-Fi (1950) more music like this by Erroll Garner This Erroll Garner record compiles portions of sessions with three different trios (John Simmons and Shadow Wilson, Wyatt Ruther and Fats Heard, or Al Hall and Specs Powell). Of course, the rhythm section rarely mattered on any Garner date, as their role was to keep time and leave the spotlight to the leader. The pianist is in his usual superb ... see all copies from $24.00!
6	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!
7	Robbins' Nest: Live at the Jazz Showcase (2000) more music like this by Sir Charles Thompson Sir Charles Thompson recorded his most essential work in the 1940s, but the Count Basie-influenced pianist was still quite capable of excellence when the 21st century rolled around. Recorded live at Chicago's Jazz Showcase in August 2000, this CD finds an 82-year-old Thompson continuing to play with plenty of warmth and enthusiasm. Very few ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $10.98!
8	Sea Journey (1993) more music like this by Jesse Green Jesse Green's second record for Chiaroscuro features him playing during the 11th annual Floating Jazz Festival on the S/S Norway as it travelled on the Caribbean Sea. Green, whose piano style is inspired by (but not imitative of) Oscar Peterson and Chick Corea, has impressive technique, can swing without effort and has creative ideas within the ... see all copies from $2.97! new only from $2.97!
9	Flyin' High 1949-1959 (2006) more music like this by Edmond Hall A pair of formerly very rare LPs are reissued on this CD that features the distinctive clarinetist Edmond Hall. The last eight selections are chosen from the dozen originally issued by the New Hampshire Library of Traditional Jazz, taken from a 1949 radio broadcast. Teamed with trumpeter Johnny Windhurst and trombonist Vic Dickenson in a sextet, ... see all copies from $14.86! new only from $14.86!
10	Play Piano Play 1950-1953 (1995) more music like this by Erroll Garner Trio Seeing as "Play Piano Play" was one of Erroll Garner's signature romp tunes, it's no surprise that at least four different Garner compilations have appeared bearing that title. What is surprising is that the Giants of Jazz label released two entirely different packages three years apart using the same title. The 1998 Play Piano Play contains ... see all copies from $7.71!
11 view cover	Solos & Duets (2005) more music like this by Jay McShann Jay McShann, from whose Kansas City orchestra altoist Charlie Parker emerged in 1940, has had a very viable career as a pianist and occasional vocalist in the 65 years since then. McShann's piano style, while emphasizing the blues, has often sounded at its best on swing standards, hinting at stride piano and boogie-woogie but being in its own ... see all copies from $26.19! new only from $26.19!
12 view cover	Grand Piano [2 Disc] (2004) more music like this by Willie "The Lion" Smith/Don Ewell see all copies from $26.19! new only from $26.19!
13 view cover	1947-1948 (1999) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This segment of the Classics Ella Fitzgerald chronology focuses upon the recordings she made for the Decca label between March 1947 and November 1948. Most of these sides include polished group background vocals, generating a certain campy slickness that some listeners might find overly affected. This kind of ensemble singing rose to prominence ... see all copies from $17.23! new only from $17.23!
14 view cover	Just the Two of Us (1989) more music like this by Richard Carr & Howard Alden Violinist Richard Carr considers Stuff Smith to be an important influence, but his sophisticated swing style actually sounds fairly original. Teamed on a set of duets with guitarist Howard Alden (this date was reissued on CD in 1998), the duo performs an eclectic set of music that includes swing standards, a couple of Thelonious Monk tunes ( ... see all copies from $15.96! new only from $15.96!
15 view cover	Sultry Serenade (2006) more music like this by Scott Hamilton see all copies from $7.71! new only from $7.71!
16 view cover	One More Time (2000) more music like this by Tom King and The Royal Chicagoans This album and the Royal Chicagoans are the brainchildren of two jazz lovers who were so involved in pursuing other interests it wasn't until their golden years that they finally realized their ambition to put together a working jazz group. Both Tom King and Harry Goldson are successful financiers and real estate executives. King was also a ... see all copies from $13.78!
17 view cover	The Essential Collection (2006) more music like this by Ted Heath see all copies from $8.39! new only from $13.89!
18 view cover	1946-1947 (1999) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet Unlike so many previous reissues, this portion of the Illinois Jacquet chronology places these historical sessions side by side rather than sorting them out by label. Bringing together the last of Jacquet's Aladdin and Apollo recordings in this way is illuminating, informative, and entertaining. Jacquet's Apollo All Stars octet that recorded in ... see all copies from $15.26! new only from $15.26!
