1	Go! (1962) more music like this by Dexter Gordon From the first moments when Dexter Gordon sails into the opening song full of brightness and confidence, it is obvious that Go! is going to be one of those albums where everything just seems to come together magically. A stellar quartet including the stylish pianist Sonny Clark, the agile drummer Billy Higgins, and the solid yet flexible bassist ... see all copies from $4.44! new only from $8.25!
2	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) ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $26.12!
3	The Father Jumps (1939) more music like this by Earl Hines Included here are most of the best recordings by Earl Hines's big band during 1939-42 along with two selections from 1945. During most of this time, Hines featured such talented sidemen as trumpeter Walter Fuller, Omer Simeon on clarinet and alto, tenorman Budd Johnson and later Franz Jackson.

4	The Classic Blue Note Recordings (2003) more music like this by Dexter Gordon A master of the tenor sax in the small-group bop setting, Dexter Gordon's marvelous tone, elegant lead lines, and deliberate behind-the-beat phrasing made him an obvious influence on John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, among others, and although his body of work is much lauded, he still manages to be somehow underappreciated in the pantheon of great ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $20.33!
5	Mister B. and the Band: The Savoy Sessions (1995) more music like this by Billy Eckstine Unlike other big-band singers who regarded the other musicians in the orchestra as little more than backup to their generally sugarcoated stylings, Billy Eckstine was a man with wide-ranging tastes and a musicality he brought to everything he lent his honeyed baritone voice to. When it was time for him to start his own band to capitalize on his ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $13.13!
6	The Legendary Big Band 1943-1947 (2002) more music like this by Billy Eckstine The Legendary Big Band 1943-1947 features 42 of Billy Eckstine's most memorable songs as played by one of the most powerful bebop big bands in jazz history.

10	Just Friends (1998) more music like this by Henri Chaix For more than 30 years, pianist Henri Chaix, bassist Alain Du Bois (who was originally a rhythm guitarist) and drummer Romano Cavicchiolo worked together as a trio. Du Bois would pass away just four months and ten days after the live session that makes up this CD, but he plays as well as usual throughout the swing-oriented mainstream music.
