6	Tempus Fugue-It (2001) more music like this by Bud Powell This is a fascinating, revelatory, deeply moving, and completely captivating collection of Bud Powell material that hasn't readily seen the light of day before, despite the fact that almost all of it has been commercially released at one time or another. The material over these four discs ranges from pre-bebop years, with Cootie Williams from 1944 ... see all copies from $29.40! new only from $29.40!

8	Leave It to Diva (1997) more music like this by Diva A quick glance at the tune list on Diva's second album may lead one to believe that this is just a swing nostalgia date. After all, such songs as "Makin' Whoopie," "Begin the Beguine," "Them There Eyes" and "Air Mail Special" are in the repertoire. However, the arrangements are new (rather than being merely copies from the past), the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $21.95!

12 view cover	Bands That Can Boogie Woogie (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Boogie-woogie had two major periods of popularity, first in the 1910s and '20s strictly as a solo-piano phenomenon, then during World War II as a large-group style and popular phenomenon. Jasmine's four-disc compilation of boogie-woogie could well have been an exhausting proposition if it had kept only to solo piano players, but since it expands ... see all copies from $24.10! new only from $24.10!

17 view cover	Swingsation (1999) more music like this by Benny Goodman GRP's Swingsation sampler may not satisfy collectors and hardcore fans, who already have these 14 featured songs on original albums or comprehensive collections.

18 view cover	A Tribute to Benny Goodman (1999) more music like this by Jess Stacy This album was one of pianist Jess Stacy's last (he would soon drift into semi-retirement), even though he was only 50 at the time and lived until 1994.

23 view cover	Swingin' Away (2000) more music like this by George Gee & His Make-Believe Ballroom Orchestra George Gee leads a solid, second-level big band in the New York area that was helped along by the popularity of retro-swing in the mid- to late '90s.

25 view cover	A Mellow Bit of Rhythm (1998) more music like this by Keith Ingham While the situation has improved since the days when these songs were written, women jazz composers in general, and African-American women in particular, rarely had the opportunity to hear their music performed, unless they played it themselves.
