1	Swing (1997) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer On this continually interesting CD, the Manhattan Transfer revisits tunes from the swing era, in some cases re-creating (through vocalese) specific recordings. Benny Goodman's 1935 version of "King Porter Stomp," Bennie Moten's 1932 recording of "Moten's Swing," Glenn Miller's "I Know Why," Charlie Barnet's "Skyliner," and Fletcher Henderson's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.55!
2	Got Swing! (2002) more music like this by Erich Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops Orchestra If there is one thing that Erich Kunzel has achieved in his many years with the Cincinnati Pops, it is the by no means easy feat of getting a symphony orchestra to swing. About 14 years after a previous, star-studded salute to swing, Big Band Hit Parade, Kunzel came back with another, perhaps less star-studded yet no less swinging paean to a still ... see all copies from $7.81! new only from $15.98!
3	The Tonight Show Band, Vol. 1 (1986) more music like this by Doc Severinsen & The Tonight Show Band The Tonight Show Band gained fame during Johnny Carson's tenure as host of the perennially popular late-night TV program. Not only did the band gain air time with its playing, but it was a foil for Carson's jokes. The role of collective straight man did not in any way hinder the ensemble from being an exciting champion of dynamic big-band swing. ... see all copies from $12.30! new only from $12.30!
4	An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) (1931) more music like this by Various Artists This two-CD set is an unusually successful sampler. Although there are a few hits among the 40 selections, many obscurities are also included, and not all of the big bands represented are major names, such as Tiny Bradshaw, Noble Sissle, Spud Murphy, Teddy Powell and Jan Savitt. The emphasis is very much on jazz, and this worthy reissue is ... see all copies from $25.19! new only from $25.19!
5	Cherokee (1958) more music like this by Charlie Barnet Charlie Barnet's band spurned conventional wisdom when they issued this set of rousing stompers and vintage standards in 1958. As the theory went, big bands had been dead for years and there was no interest among modern fans in these old numbers. That may or may not have been true then or now, but it was true enough that the band came out roaring ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
6	Best of the Big Bands, Vol. 1 (1990) more music like this by Les & Larry Elgart In 2008 Sony BMG reissued one of Les & Larry Elgart's more substantial efforts, Best of the Big Bands, Vol. 1. This parade of polished and carefully executed instrumentals draws heavily upon their 1964 Columbia LP, Command Performance!, resulting in a smorgasbord of hits by such influential composers and bandleaders as Charlie Barnet, Count Basie, ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
7	Calello Serenade (1994) more music like this by Charlie Orchestra Calello see all copies from $14.65! new only from $15.00!

10	The Best of the Big Bands Sampler (1990) more music like this by Various Artists The Best of the Big Bands Sampler contains 16 highlights from the Columbia vaults, including selections by Cab Calloway ("Minnie the Moocher's Wedding"), Glen Gray ("Limehouse Blues"), Les Brown ("Sentimental Journey"), Benny Goodman ("Taking a Chance on Love"), Woody Herman ("Everybody Knew But Me"), Sammy Kaye ("Harbor Lights"), Les Brown ("Leap ... see all copies from $1.99!

12 view cover	Swing [Taragon] (2000) more music like this by Bert Kaempfert Taragon's Bert Kaempfert compilation Swing highlights 30 tracks of that genre by the orchestral pop arranger and conductor. His versions of well-known swing classics like "Little Brown Jug," "One O'Clock Jump," and "In the Mood" are enjoyable, but most listeners will want Kaempfert's hits "Wonderland by Night," "Spanish Eyes (Moon Over Naples)," ... see all copies from $30.90! new only from $30.90!
13 view cover	Victory Parade of Spotlight Bands 1943-45: Wartime (2002) more music like this by Various Artists On Victory Parade of Spotlight Bands 1943-45: Wartime Broadcasts, Florida's Soundcraft Records assembled a two-disc set of jazz, swing, and big band performances from the Mutual Broadcasting System's Spotlight Band radio series, which ran from 1941-1946. The program quickly became radio's most popular big band program. Disc one begins with Tommy ... see all copies from $13.95! new only from $20.61!
14 view cover	The Big Band Swing Things (1999) more music like this by The Spitfire Band This is a partial reissue of a disc the Canadian-based Spitfire Band did for Columbia several years ago called In Flight; it's a partial reissue because not all the tunes from the original session have been included, thus providing a meager 40 minutes of music. It's a bit misleading not to include this information on the back cover of the album so ... see all copies from $15.69! new only from $15.69!

17 view cover	Big Band Instrumentals: 16 Most Requested Songs (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Culled from the vaults of Columbia Records, Big Band Instrumentals: 16 Most Requested Songs is an excellent collection of the biggest hits and most popular songs from the big-band era. Although it isn't quite definitive, few samplers are as good and as entertaining as this one -- many songs casual fans will want are here, including Fletcher ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $4.70!
18 view cover	Brass Menagerie: Big Band Brass of the Sixties (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Brass Menagerie delivers just what the title promises, collecting classic brass-band versions of standards like "Frenesi," "When the Saints Go Marching In," and "Isn't It Romantic?" Performances from the Jerry Fielding Orchestra, the Mel Davis Orchestra, the Jim Tyler Orchestra, and the Hugo Montenegro Orchestra round out this collection of brassy ... see all copies from $2.70!
19 view cover	Drop Me off in Harlem (1942) more music like this by Charlie Barnet & His Orchestra Charlie Barnet reached his greatest popularity during his years with Bluebird (1939-42) but the orchestra he led during his period with Decca (1942-46) was even more powerful. This CD contains 20 of their best recordings and, even if "Skyliner" was their only commercial hit, such top soloists as trumpeters Peanuts Holland, Al Killian and Roy ... see all copies from $23.92! new only from $23.92!

22 view cover	Swing: Best of the Big Bands (1990) more music like this by Various Artists If not a law, there should at the minimum be a policy which prevents record companies, especially major ones, from marketing CDs with as little as 29 minutes of music, even under the guise of a "cheap buy." Yet MCA (now under GRP) has issued a disc with just 29 minutes of music, albeit pretty good familiar stuff from the old Decca Records days. ... see all copies from $5.51!
