1	I'm Beginning to See the Light: Dance Hits from the Second World War (2007) more music like this by Various Artists I'm Beginning to See the Light is a companion to, but not the soundtrack for, The War, the 2007 PBS miniseries on World War II produced and directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. Whereas the soundtrack features a mix of new and old recordings intended to serve the purpose of the miniseries itself ("[to explore] the history and horror of World War ... see all copies from $4.20! new only from $4.97!
2	The War: A Ken Burns Film [Deluxe Edition] (2007) more music like this by Original TV Soundtrack The War, directed by Ken Burns, was a seven-part documentary series broadcast on PBS television in 2007, focusing on the experiences of American soldiers in World War II. Much popular music of the period was heard on the soundtrack, as was some music specifically composed and recorded for use in the film. This four-CD set, with the full title The ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $27.34!
3	A Night Out With Verve (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A Night Out With Verve highlights five decades of remarkable jazz taken from the Verve catalog, spread out over four discs titled "Wining," "Dining," "Dancing," and "Romancing." This budget-priced box set includes 65 performances from jazz luminaries including Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Michel Legrand, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong ... see all copies from $12.68! new only from $24.40!
4	Generations (2007) more music like this by Bucky Pizzarelli/John Pizzarelli While it isn't unusual that a father and son appear together on a jazz album, Bucky and son John Pizzarelli probably have a more extended track record of working together in the studio or on-stage than any other pair. Bucky has been a first-call sideman for over a half-century and a prolific leader on record as well, while John has been primarily ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $14.80!
5	Nuages [Arkadia Jazz] (1997) more music like this by Django Reinhardt That Django Reinhardt was an original and a virtuoso was impressive enough. But what is astounding about his playing is that it was accomplished by someone who only had the use of two fingers on his left hand; he had been severely burned as a young man and lost the use of his ring and pinkie fingers. 45 years after his death there are still French ... see all copies from $9.37! new only from $9.37!
6	Legends of Big Band [Sugo] (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	The Complete Lester Young Studio Sessions on Verve [#1] (1999) more music like this by Lester Young All too often, jazz critics have promoted the myth that Lester Young's playing went way downhill after World War II--that the seminal tenor man was so emotionally wounded by the racism he suffered in the military in 1944-45 that he could no longer play as well as he had in the 1930s and early 1940s. To be sure, Young went through hell in the ... see all copies from $86.99! new only from $102.53!
8	A Night With Eddie Condon (2001) more music like this by Kenny Davern Though never an influential guitarist (he rarely soloed and frequently went silent altogether), Eddie Condon exerted a significant influence on jazz by virtue of the bands he led and his imposing stage presence. An acerbic wit and talented raconteur, Condon was, at his peak, a very popular figure on the Chicago jazz scene. His style of playing is ... see all copies from $14.80! new only from $14.80!
9	Gipsy Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists A typical European hot club jazz outfit featured violin backed by guitar and bass, with no drums. Chief among these players was Stephane Grappelli, who often worked with Django Reinhardt. Both Grappelli and Reinhardt feature prominently in Gipsy Jazz. These recordings range from 1936 to 1991. They include such swing era standards as "Take the 'A' ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $16.39!
10	1949-1951 (2007) more music like this by Benny Goodman & His Orchestra This is the 34th volume in the Classics Benny Goodman chronology. It combines four titles from the Capitol records session of October 27, 1949 (Goodman's last for that label) with seven tunes recorded for Columbia on October 10 and November 24, 1950 and ten previously hard-to-find selections from a broadcast that aired April 1, 1951. Although the ... see all copies from $13.53! new only from $13.53!
11 view cover	On Stage with Benny Goodman and His Sextet (2006) more music like this by Benny Goodman In 1972 Benny Goodman's All Star Sextet was recorded live in Copenhagen; this material was released shortly thereafter on a Decca double LP. After languishing for years in record company vaults, cutout bins, and used record stores, the music was reissued on CD in 2006 by Universal, then by Dutton Vocalion in 2007. Goodman, true to his life-long ... see all copies from $19.03! new only from $19.03!
12	Swing That Music (1969) more music like this by Ruby Braff & Red Norvo This two-record set combines separate sets by Ruby Braff and Red Norvo from the same 1969 Paris studio session, though both musicians use the identical rhythm section of pianist George Wein, bassist Larry Ridley, drummer Don Lamond, and guitarist Barney Kessel, who has many nice solos in both sessions. Braff, playing cornet, pays tribute to Louis ... see all copies from $15.44!
13 view cover	Swing Sessions (1945) more music like this by Benny Goodman This CD contains previously unreleased performances by Benny Goodman that were originally recorded for the Armed Forces Radio Service during 1945-46. Four selections feature his short-lived big band of the era and these sport arrangements by Eddie Sauter, Mel Powell and Fletcher Henderson (a reworking of "Somebody Stole My Gal"). In addition to a ... see all copies from $4.89! new only from $4.89!
14 view cover	Penthouse Serenade/The Piano Style of Nat King Cole (2007) more music like this by Nat King Cole This entry in mail-order firm Collectors' Choice Music's series of reissues of Nat King Cole albums pairs two instrumental collections he recorded in the 1950s. In its original form as a 10," eight-song LP, Penthouse Serenade, recorded on July 18, 1952, found Cole returning to the small-band format of his jazz playing days in an ensemble that ... see all copies from $15.54! new only from $15.54!
15 view cover	Cotton Club 1938 Live NY (2007) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $7.20! new only from $7.20!
16 view cover	Harry James & His Orchestra: 1939-1949 (1998) more music like this by Harry James It's not 30 minutes long, and it's got only ten tracks, but this is a good CD, showing off the work of Harry James in a series of virtuoso performances. "Mean to Me" is probably the best and most representative track here, a swinging number highlighted by some hot trumpet courtesy of James, and "Undecided" runs only a little bit behind in appeal. ... see all copies from $4.47! new only from $4.47!
17 view cover	Jazznocracy (2003) more music like this by Jimmie Lunceford see all copies from $3.75! new only from $3.75!
18 view cover	Djangology [Living Era] (2007) more music like this by Django Reinhardt Valuable as an introduction to and mini-history of Le Quintette du Hot Club de France, this 53-track tribute to the collaborative friendship between Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli complements and at times retraces the steps of no less than four previous Living Era Django Reinhardt compilations. Issued in 2007, Djangology focuses upon the ... see all copies from $13.94! new only from $13.94!
19 view cover	Sophisticated Swing (2000) more music like this by Engelbert Wrobel Engelbert Wrobel may be an unknown name in the United States but he has recorded five CDs in Europe with his Swing Society (based in Germany) and can certainly hold his own with any mainstream swing player around today. Wrobel, who sounds equally adept on clarinet, soprano, alto and tenor, is joiend by a strong four-piece rhythm section which ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.24!
20 view cover	Jesper Thilo and the American Stars, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this by Jesper Thilo Jesper Thilo, a swinging tenor saxophonist from Denmark, has Zoot Sims as his musical role model, although he also sounds a bit like Johnny Griffin on "Cherokee" and otherwise displays a bit of his own personality in his solos. Thilo recorded a series of albums for Storyville in the 1980s that teamed him with some notable American all-stars. This ... see all copies from $20.06! new only from $20.06!
21 view cover	All Star Parade 1943-1949 (2004) more music like this by Harry James The music on this double CD is taken from radio broadcasts by Harry James' big band from 1943-1949. Most of the performances were previously unreleased, the sound quality is decent, and there is a nice balance between jazz stomps and vocal ballads. There is singing along the way from Helen Forrest, Kitty Kallen, Ginny Powell, and Marion Morgan, a ... see all copies from $34.32! new only from $34.32!
22 view cover	1930-1944 (1999) more music like this by Eddie Condon Eddie Condon was the ringleader for a traditional jazz movement that had roots in Chicago but manifested itself in New York City during the 1930s and '40s. Lean, tough, brusque and stoically alcoholic with a humorous, rhetorical manner not unlike that employed on the silver screen by James Cagney, Condon personified old-styled jazz and stubbornly ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $4.50!
23 view cover	Good to Go (1999) more music like this by Benny Goodman And The Rhythm Makers In the days before he was the King of Swing, Benny Goodman had a struggling band that played hot jazz like a small combo; they were too wild and loud for the ballrooms that catered to the Guy Lombardo crowd. Money was tight so when a chance to record and make a pile of dough doing transcription work arose, Goodman and his band rose to the ... see all copies from $7.44! new only from $7.44!
24 view cover	The Essential Collection (2006) more music like this by Django Reinhardt/Stephane Grappelli Whether it is "essential" or not is up to jazz fans to debate, but this budget two-disc Essential Collection of material by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli contains no less than 51 selections and offers brilliant performances by the gypsy jazz duo along with their Hot Club of France band from the 1930s and '40s. Sound quality is fair to ... see all copies from $24.90! new only from $24.90!
25 view cover	The Great Benny Goodman [RedX] (2000) more music like this by Benny Goodman see all copies from $5.68! new only from $5.68!
