If You Got to Ask, You Ain't Got It!

If You Got to Ask, You Ain't Got It! (2006) more music like this

by Fats Waller

During his 21-year recording career, Thomas "Fats" Waller waxed so many hundreds of songs that only a dedicated few have heard them all even once, let alone often enough to understand the true nature of his legacy. While longtime collectors can attest to the awesome breadth and depth of Waller's massive discography, your average citizen needs and ...

The Judge at His Best (2001) more music like this

by Milt Hinton

The great bassist Milt Hinton recorded fairly frequently for the Chiaroscuro label during 1973-1979 and 1989-1995.

Legrand Jazz (1958) more music like this

by Michel Legrand With Miles Davis and Bill Evans

Concert in Argentina

Concert in Argentina (1974) more music like this

by Various Artists

Although this double LP has been reissued by the Jazz Alliance label on CD, the LP version is preferable because it contains more performances. Pianists Marian McPartland, Teddy Wilson, Ellis Larkins and Earl Hines all play about 20 minutes apiece during a swing-oriented solo set. McPartland (whose performance is highlighted by a Duke Ellington ...

From Battersea to Broadway

From Battersea to Broadway (2002) more music like this

by George Shearing

Early recordings by George Shearing have been usually been reissued in a scattershot, rather incomplete fashion, but this 97-track boxed-set compilation includes just about everything he recorded between 1939 and 1951 for labels such as Decca, Parlophone, Ace of Clubs, Savoy, Discovery, and MGM, along with a few songs that made their first ...

Legends of Country Music

Legends of Country Music (2006) more music like this

by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys

That Bob Wills was one of the architects of American music is a given, but his particular creation -- he didn't name it Western swing, but that's what it came to be called -- did not arise from the dust. Wills, refusing to be restricted, subsumed virtually every genre available to him at the time, from blues to big band, popular song to old-timey, ...

Young Anita

Young Anita (2001) more music like this

by Anita O'Day

Although it's been repackaged and reissued many times in many ways, Anita O'Day's pre-Verve output has never appeared so thoroughly (and so cheaply) as on Proper's four-disc box, Young Anita. Beginning in 1941 with her stint in Gene Krupa's popular band with Roy Eldridge, O'Day made an immediate impression, appearing on the hits "Let Me Off Uptown ...

Sound of Jazz: The Memorable 1957 Telecast (1957) more music like this

by Various Artists

This is the highly praised 1957 CBS-TV telecast that brought together Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Count Basie, Billie Holiday and other greats into the living rooms of America for the first time.

Yale Recordings, Vol. 7: Florida Sessions (1959) more music like this

by Benny Goodman

One of the most interesting bands led by Benny Goodman after the end of the swing era was the forgotten septet featured on this CD. It was essentially a sextet co-led by tenor-saxophonist Flip Phillips and trombonist Bill Harris that they willingly let BG take over. Phillips and Harris were alumni of Woody Herman's First Herd and their constant ...

Jazz In Paris: Claude Bolling Plays the Original Piano Greats (2001) more music like this

by Claude Bolling

Claude Bolling is a classical pianist who demonstrated an affinity for jazz with numerous recordings in crossover settings. But this 1972 session recorded for Phillips is strictly a solo piano affair in which Bolling salutes the greats of jazz piano, including Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Thelonious Monk, Willie "The Lion" Smith, Jelly Roll Morton ...

by Anita O'Day

This CD has all 15 formerly rare Anita O'Day recordings from 1949-50 that were formerly on a Tono LP, plus nine earlier selections. The latter consists of a long-lost four-song Capitol date (forgotten until the mid-1990s) that finds the singer in excellent form with a Los Angeles pickup group, as well as her five transcription performances from ...

The Sound of Jazz [Columbia/Sony] (1958) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Sound of Jazz, originally aired Sunday, December 8, 1957, on CBS, has never been duplicated in capturing such a wide array of jazz musicians from various styles -- swing, cool, modern -- sometimes cross pollinating in a lively yet casual atmosphere. Jazz critics Whitney Balliett and Nat Hentoff selected the musicians, set them up in a studio ...

The Centennial Collection (2004) more music like this

by Benny Goodman

What makes the Benny Goodman chapter in the RCA/Bluebird Centennial Collection series worthwhile is, in this case, the bonus DVD. While every volume in the series has one, Goodman and his bands were used by Hollywood more than most bands from the late 1930s and early '40s, and the stuff on here is prime, as well as the footage of later ...

Strictly speaking, this 24-song collection misses the best-known Five Keys material, instead covering their history with King Records, where they signed after their stays with Aladdin and Capitol Records, and after the departure of original lead singer Rudy West. Thomas Threat is singing lead, backed by Bernie West, Ripley Ingram, Maryland Pierce, ...

An Evening with Earl Hines (1973) more music like this

by Earl Hines

This double LP is valuable as documentation of Earl Hines and his band on a typical gig in 1973. Marva Josie has a few vocals and Tiny Grimes contributes some guitar solos but the leader/pianist is easily the main star, romping on such tunes as "Perdido," "Boogie Woogie on the St. Louis Blues" and "Lester Leaps In." Swinging (if not essential) ...

Arrangements by Fletcher Henderson/Arrangements by Eddie Sauter (2000) more music like this

Columbia Records had so neglected most of its classic jazz catalog, in terms of both the frequency and quality of reissues, that it was not a huge surprise when this combination of two LPs on one CD appeared on the Collectables label in 2000 -- the 75 minutes of music here represents some of the prime work of Benny Goodman's favorite arranger, ...

This is a typically delightful small-group mainstream swing date, featuring the Pee Wee Russell-inspired clarinetist Bobby Gordon, pianist Dave McKenna, bassist Frank Tate and drummer Joe Ascione. The group performs standards from the 1930s and '40s along with a few slightly earlier tunes. The only departures are "Sweet Adeline," the relatively ...

This two-CD set, as is true of the other very valuable releases in the Eddie Condon Town Hall series (which had never before been reissued complete and in chronological order), features four well-recorded radio shows that logically showcase the individual members of Condon's remarkable all-star groups. These Dixielandish (but never corny or overly ...
