1	Let the Good Times Roll: The Music of Louis Jordan (1999) more music like this by B.B. King Even if B.B. King is the King of the Blues, some might find it strange that he chose to record Let the Good Times Roll, a tribute album to Louis Jordan, the King of Jump Blues. King's work was never as boisterous or enthusiastic as Jordan's, but his debt is apparent from the first cut of the album. King may have never done straight jump blues, but ... see all copies from $3.45! new only from $8.06!
2	Reinventing the Wheel (2007) more music like this by Asleep at the Wheel What are you gonna say about Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel? Everything they've recorded is inspired. It's true that for the last 12-15 years they've been making lots of live and tribute kinds of records, but even when they record a "new" one as Benson boasts on the back sleeve, they still sound like a rollicking, reeling, good-time swaggering ... see all copies from $8.84! new only from $8.84!
3	The Roots of Rock 'n' Roll: 1946-1954 (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Of the numerous various-artist compilation CDs that have attempted to anthologize the recordings of the late '40s and early '50s most crucial to planting the seeds for rock & roll, this three-CD, 60-song set is probably the most definitive. Most prior collections along these lines have failed to present a truly comprehensive picture of rock & roll ... see all copies from $32.85! new only from $32.85!
4	Delta Rhythm Boys (1957) more music like this by The Delta Rhythm Boys The Delta Rhythm Boys are smoothness personified and their sweet harmonizing and zippy lead vocals are featured on this 1957 release from Elektra. The 13 songs include pop standards ("'S Wonderful," "Blues Skies," "Side by Side"), jump blues (Louis Jordan's "Saturday Night Fish Fry"), ballads ("Something I Dreamed Last Night"), and novelties ("Cha ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
5	The Jazz Singers 1919-1994 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists The compilers of this five-CD/cassette box set anthology, which contains 104 tracks and runs over six hours, have taken an inclusive, open-ended approach to both their selections and their sequencing. Unconventionally, the album is organized not chronologically, but thematically, in eight categories -- "Steeped in the Blues," Straight out of ... see all copies from $31.50!
6	It's About Time (1994) more music like this by Charmaine Neville Band see all copies from $5.27!
7	The Ritz (1987) more music like this by The Ritz In spite of this CD being self-titled, it is not the first recording by the vocal quartet the Ritz, but their initial release in a series of discs for Denon. The group had been in existence for five years at the time of these studio sessions. They do a great job with a fun-filled driving take of Louis Jordan's "Saturday Night Fish Fry," a lush ... see all copies from $11.62! new only from $29.24!
8	I Believe in Music (1973) more music like this by Louis Jordan Louis Jordan's final recording (he died 15 months later), I Believe in Music has been reissued on CD, along with six previously unreleased selections. Although Jordan had not been a hitmaker in around 20 years and had been somewhat neglected during the decade before the set, he was still in his musical prime both vocally and instrumentally. The ... see all copies from $10.52! new only from $10.52!

10	1949: The R&B Hits (2000) more music like this by Various Artists 1949 was defining year for music in general, its first year back in full force after World War II and the musician union's ban on recording in 1948. It was also the first year that African-American record charts were called "rhythm & blues" instead of "race" charts. It was the end of the big band era; Louis Jordan was at his peak, and the ... see all copies from $14.94!

12 view cover	Little Jazz Giant (2004) more music like this by Roy Eldridge A three-disc box set from England's Avid Records, Little Jazz Giant tracks trumpeter Roy Eldridge's career from his early work as part of the Delta Four in 1935 through his own efforts to front a swing combo in the late '30s, his work with bandleaders Teddy Hill and Fletcher Henderson, his brilliant early-'40s sides with Gene Krupa, his profitable ... see all copies from $33.71! new only from $33.71!
13 view cover	Laughin' at the Blues (2007) more music like this by Various Artists The blues has always been in utility a dance music, and when it collided with jazz and emerged in the mid-'40s as jump blues, any pretense that it was anything else went out the window. Jump blues celebrated as much as it bemoaned, espousing a sort of "life sucks, so let's dance" stance that resulted in remarkably infectious songs which often used ... see all copies from $8.94! new only from $8.94!
