3	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!
4	Ellington Masterpieces (1988) more music like this by Conducting American Jazz Orchestra with John Lewis With musicological thoroughness, some crack musicians and the best of intentions, John Lewis leads New York's American Jazz Orchestra in 15 transcriptions from one of Duke Ellington's prime periods (1940-43), plus "Rockin' In Rhythm" from 1930. If you had not heard the originals, you would probably come away from these reinterpretations ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.21!
5	Best of Duke Ellington: Original Capitol Recording (1992) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $2.01!
6	The Great London Concerts (1963) more music like this by Duke Ellington This previously issued material (released on a single CD by Music Masters) features the Duke Ellington Orchestra during a very busy era. The veteran musicians were getting older but their very individual voices were still powerful, and Ellington was far from running out of gas at this point. The five standards taken from the earlier performance ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	Masterpieces: 1926-1949 (2001) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $40.19! new only from $40.19!
8	The Carnegie Hall Concerts (January 1943) (1943) more music like this by Duke Ellington & His Orchestra This two-CD set captures one of the milestones in Duke Ellington's long and extremely productive career, highlighted by his monumental suite "Black, Brown and Beige" in the only full-length version ever recorded by his orchestra; soon it was only performed as excerpts. In addition, Ellington's all-star orchestra (including such stylists as ... see all copies from $21.89! new only from $21.89!
9	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Duke Ellington In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $2.39! new only from $4.39!
10	Soprano Sax (1957) more music like this by Steve Lacy This was the first of three recordings soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy made for Prestige and this 11/1/57 session was his first as a leader...There was a controlled tension to this date, like everybody's trying to play, carefully, to a common goal. It's almost as if someone were present to make sure everybody stayed within obvious perimeters. Bob ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $10.06!
11	The OKeh Ellington (1927) more music like this by Duke Ellington Although generally not as celebrated as his Victor recordings of the same period, Duke Ellington's performances for OKeh (late acquired by Columbia) are among the best of the period, featuring distinctive solos by the likes of trumpeter Bubber Miley (and later his replacement Cootie Williams), trombonist Tricky Sam Nanton (who, like Miley, was an ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $17.11!
12 view cover	For Ellington (1988) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet This is a tribute album that works quite well. The Modern Jazz Quartet is heard at their best on such Duke Ellington tunes as "Rockin' in Rhythm," "Jack the Bear" and "Ko-Ko." Also quite noteworthy are their two newer pieces, John Lewis's "For Ellington" and Milt Jackson's "Maestro E.K.E." which perfectly capture the spirit of Ellington's music. ... see all copies from $7.54! new only from $9.17!
13 view cover	Swing Dance Special (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $9.99! new only from $10.28!
14 view cover	My Song (1993) more music like this by Joe Pass During his last years guitarist Joe Pass often used the same unit on a regular basis, one that he had utilized to record his classic For Django, back in 1963. For this pleasing effort John Pisano offers some suitable rhythm guitar while bassist Jim Hughart and drummer Colin Bailey are typically tasteful in support. Tom Ranier is an important ... see all copies from $3.69! new only from $8.92!
15 view cover	Golden Greats (2002) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $2.13! new only from $17.79!
16 view cover	Close as Pages in a Book (1969) more music like this by Maxine Sullivan After a period off the music scene during which she worked as a nurse, Maxine Sullivan (who had not recorded a full album since 1956) really started her successful comeback with this strong effort. Originally made for Monmouth-Evergreen and later reissued on Audiophile, the set features the subtle and lightly swinging singer sharing the spotlight ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
17 view cover	Fine and Mellow (1974) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald A good title cut, strictly by the book. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.87! new only from $7.87!
18 view cover	Thrasher (1995) more music like this by Gerry Gibbs & Ravi Coltrane see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
19 view cover	Takin' the A Train [Delta] (1998) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	Ellington '55 (1953) more music like this by Duke Ellington The general outlook on Ellington's two-year stay at Capitol Records is that they were a series of missed opportunities, the label being unwilling to let him do much more than pop-oriented singles and recover old ground. That may be true, and the original marketing campaign behind this album ("Old tunes, new treatments for your listening and ... see all copies from $5.00!
21 view cover	A Celebration of Duke (1979) more music like this by Various Artists Although Sarah Vaughan gets top billing on this set, she takes vocals on just two of the ten songs. Four different groupings of Pablo's All-Star musicians are heard from during a tribute to Duke Ellington, and there are many strong moments. Guitarist Joe Pass, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Mickey Roker make for a potent ... see all copies from $4.19! new only from $10.44!
22 view cover	Soul Call (1966) more music like this by Duke Ellington During the month of July 1966, Duke Ellington and His Orchestra performed at the Juan-les-Pins/Antibes Jazz Festival on the French Riviera, locally known as the Côte D'Azur. Situated near a stand of towering pine trees, the stage allowed the instrumentalists to gaze at vessels sailing by on the surface of the Mediterranean Sea. Ellington and His ... see all copies from $9.08! new only from $9.08!
23 view cover	Ways of Warmdaddy (1995) more music like this by Wessell Anderson Wessell Anderson is a big-toned alto saxophonist of generous spirit and above-average skill, who obviously admires the late Cannonball Adderley a great deal. This album's opening track, "Sunday Souful Supper," comes off as virtual Cannonball, with the equally rotund younger altoist serving heaping portions of red beans and rice, Adderley-style. ... see all copies from $1.99!
24 view cover	Duke Ellington Swings!: The Music of the Duke (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Telarc Jazz's contribution to the Ellington centenary was this engaging compilation, all material from the '90s back catalog, with two notable exceptions. As bait for the complete Dave Brubeck collector, they've thrown in a pair of unreleased tracks left over from the Brubeck Quartet's tour of the U.K. in November 1998: a lengthy exploration of ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $10.39!
25 view cover	Oscar (1991) more music like this by Elmer Bernstein see all copies from $9.34!
