1	At Newport (1957) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This CD features Dizzy Gillespie's second great big band at the peak of its powers. On the rapid "Dizzy's Blues" and a truly blazing "Cool Breeze," the orchestra really roars; the latter performance features extraordinary solos by Gillespie, trombonist Al Grey, and tenor saxophonist Billy Mitchell. In addition to fine renditions of "Manteca" and ... see all copies from $8.88! new only from $9.34!
2	Birk's Works: Verve Big Band Sessions (1956) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy Gillespie's globetrotting big band of 1956-1957 was one of his finest groups, a very exciting orchestra that at various times had such players as trumpeters Gillespie, Joe Gordon, and Lee Morgan, trombonists Melba Liston and Al Grey, altoists Phil Woods and Ernie Henry, the tenors of Billy Mitchell, Ernie Wilkins, and Benny Golson, and ... see all copies from $14.45! new only from $17.86!
3	The Music Room (1965) more music like this by Doug Duke Organist Doug Duke operated a tiny club in Charlotte, NY, during the second half of the 1960s where he frequently welcomed veteran swing-oriented jazz artists. Fortunately many of these sessions were taped and, although Duke died at 1973 at age 53, this double CD was recently released from the forgotten sessions. Duke, whose flamboyant organ style ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.89!
4	The Best of Odyssey 1945-1952 (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie The Best of Odyssey 1945-1952 is a solid compilation of Savoy sides recorded by jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie at the peak of his career.

6	Dizzy Gillespie in Paris, Vol. 1 (1953) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This CD fully (except for a saxophone feature) documents a Paris concert by Dizzy Gillespie and his quintet, with baritonist Bill Graham (the liners mistakenly list him as playing alto and tenor), pianist Wade Legge, bassist Lou Hackney, and drummer Al Jones. Actually, singer Joe Carroll (whose overly enthusiastic vocals are an acquired taste) co ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $245.50!
7	School Days (1951) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie An old recording from 1951, this album has been re-released on Columbia from the old Savoy/Regent recordings. The blowing is insane in spots -- in "Pop's Confessin," Dizzy tries to hit the loudest, highest, longest note possible (à la Roy Eldridge). Joe Carroll provides some humor in his vocal work (often performing in duet with Dizzy). Milt ... see all copies from $19.19! new only from $19.19!

10	Lonely Weekends: The Best of the Sun Years, 1958-1962 [Bear Family] (1998) more music like this by Charlie Rich Of all the acts that came out of Sun Studios in the '50s and early '60s, from Howlin' Wolf to Elvis, from Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis to Carl Perkins and Bill Justis, none was more musically sophisticated and diverse in his writing, arranging, and performing than Charlie Rich. That's right, the same guy who had hits with "Behind Closed Doors," ... see all copies from $77.95! new only from $77.95!

13 view cover	Legends & Songwriters in Concert 1941 (1998) more music like this by Various Artists On February 25, 1941, the Greek Relief Fund staged a benefit concert at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Greece had recently been invaded by Italy, and though the U.S. was still neutral in the Second World War, sympathy for the Allies was already running high. But the show served a second purpose, in addition to raising money for a good cause ... see all copies from $24.71!
14	Groovin' High [Eclipse] (1996) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie In 1995, Eclipse Music Group put out a series of albums, The Legends of Jazz, with a volume for each of an array of jazz greats: Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, and others.

17 view cover	Sings & Plays: 1951-1954 (1998) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie The title Sings & Plays is misleading, for although Dizzy Gillespie does sing, the bulk of the singing comes from Joe Carroll. Nonetheless, it's a good collection of 19 of Gillespie's most entertaining vocal numbers, mostly goofy and fun. They are culled primarily from the Dee Gee sessions done in Detroit, and the sound transfer is only decent -- ... see all copies from $7.55! new only from $7.55!

Jump blues, piano boogies, and bluesy ballads form virtually the entire program, much of which consists of contributions from well-known pioneers such as Louis Jordan, Ivory Joe Hunter, Wynonie Harris, Little Esther, Lowell Fulson, Amos ... see all copies from $16.10! new only from $16.10!

20 view cover	1951-1952 (2003) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This intriguing CD features trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie during a transitional period, more than a year after his 1940s bebop orchestra broke up. "We Love to Boogie" has the first commercially recorded solo of tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, four years before he joined Miles Davis. Gillespie is heard with five different small groups playing music ... see all copies from $10.25! new only from $10.25!
21 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!
22 view cover	The Complete Singles Plus: The Sun Years 1958-1963 (2003) more music like this by Charlie Rich While legendary producer and Sun Records founder Sam Phillips was a man of rare vision in the early days of rock & roll, Charlie Rich was an unusual example of an artist who Phillips wasn't quite sure of what to do with. Of course, Phillips was hardly alone in that dilemma -- Rich's brilliant but eclectic gifts, which embraced country, blues, jazz ... see all copies from $14.14! new only from $14.14!
