1	Night Train (1962) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Trio Verve's Master Edition of the Oscar Peterson Trio date released as Night Train includes stately covers of blues and R&B standards like "The Honeydripper," "C-Jam Blues," "Georgia on My Mind," "Bags' Groove," "Moten Swing," and "Things Ain't What They Used to Be." Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen provide tight accompaniment, and there are six previously ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $16.89!
2	Homage to Duke (1993) more music like this by Dave Grusin Although Dave Grusin is best known as a soundtrack composer and for his jazz-pop recordings, he has always had a great admiration for jazz. This CD (released in a fairly deluxe package) gave Grusin an opportunity to pay tribute to Duke Ellington. He performs ten mostly familiar songs associated with Ellington and wisely features fluegelhornist ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.83!
3	Ella & Duke at the Côte D'Azur (1966) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald/Duke Ellington This two-disc package features highlights from several concerts by Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald during the Le Festival International de Jazz d'Antibes-Juan-les-Pins in the south of France between July 26 and July 29, 1966. Both jazz legends are in top form throughout and the obvious affection between them results in some sublime musical ... see all copies from $8.45! new only from $21.95!
4	The Paul Desmond Quartet Live (1975) more music like this by Paul Desmond Quartet When the Dave Brubeck Quartet broke up in 1967, Paul Desmond worked sporadically playing live dates, probably in part due to his substantial royalty income from his hit composition "Take Five." When Jim Hall was unavailable to play with Desmond in Canada, he recommended guitarist Ed Bickert who, like Hall, is a brilliant accompanist with the kind ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $13.78!
5	Duke Elegant (2000) more music like this by Dr. John Duke Elegant certainly wasn't the only tribute to Duke Ellington put out in honor of the 100th anniversary of the legendary bandleader, nor was it even the first time Dr. John had tackled his material. But it would be hard to find a better homage than this one. Dr. John proves a surprisingly good match for Ellington's material, placing a ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $14.65!
6	Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note: The Complete Recordings (1994) more music like this by Keith Jarrett The six-CD box set Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note fully documents three nights (six complete sets from June 3-5, 1994) by his trio with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette. Never mind that this same group has already had ten separate releases since 1983; this box is still well worth getting. The repertoire emphasizes (but is not ... see all copies from $89.00! new only from $89.00!
7	Once More...With Feeling! (1991) more music like this by Doc Severinsen & the Tonight Show Band Of the Tonight Show Band's three Amherst CDs, this is the most highly recommended one. The repertoire is fresher than the songs featured on the two earlier releases and, in addition to the usual swing-era standards, such tunes as Tommy Newsom's "Three Shades of Blue" and Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" are included. Guest appearances by ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $3.75!
8	Booker Little 4 and Max Roach (1958) more music like this by Booker Little This CD reissue features trumpeter Booker Little at the beginning of his tragically brief career. The first six selections find the distinctive soloist playing with a quintet also including the young tenor George Coleman, pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Art Davis, and drummer Max Roach (who was his regular employer at the time). Little contributed ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
9	The Gene Harris Trio Plus One (1985) more music like this by Gene Harris Trio This superb album (reissued on CD) solidified pianist Gene Harris' return to the jazz major leagues. Teamed up with bassist Ray Brown, drummer Mickey Roker, and tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine, Harris stretches out on such songs as Ray Brown's blues "Gene's Lament," "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," "Yours Is My Heart Alone," and "Battle ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
10	American Music, Texas Style (1999) more music like this by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown was 74 when he recorded American Music, Texas Style, and the Texas bluesman made it clear that he still had plenty of energy. On this CD, Brown really emphasizes his love of jazz. Young hard bop players like trumpeter Nicholas Payton and alto saxman Wes Anderson are on board, and the veteran singer/guitarist offers no ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
11 view cover	Brassy and Sassy (1992) more music like this by Rob McConnell & The Boss Brass This CD can serve as a perfect introduction to Rob McConnell's Boss Brass. The leader's arrangements (plus one by Ron Collier) uplift such standards as "Strike Up the Band," "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" and "Scrapple from the Apple"; trombonist Ian McDougall introduces his three-part, 19-minute "Blue Serge Suit(e)," and many veteran ... see all copies from $8.83! new only from $38.50!
12 view cover	Memories of Duke (1980) more music like this by Clark Terry 5 Flugelhornist Clark Terry and a strong quartet (pianist Jack Wilson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Frank Severino) perform nine songs associated with Duke Ellington, including seven of Ellington's compositions, plus a tune apiece from Billy Strayhorn ("Passion Flower") and Mercer Ellington ("Things Ain't What They Used to Be"). ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!

14 view cover	Super-Session (1980) more music like this by Tommy Flanagan This CD reissues a session that teams together three "super" players: pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Red Mitchell and drummer Elvin Jones. On two of Flanagan's better originals ("Minor Perhaps" and "Rachel's Rondo") and four jazz standards (including "Django" and "Things Ain't What They Used to Be"), the musicians communicate quite well (Flanagan ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $32.89!
15 view cover	Duke Ellington at the Alhambra (2002) more music like this by Duke Ellington Much of the music on this CD from Duke Ellington's 1958 Paris concerts is familiar to collectors from its appearance on various European bootleg labels, but Pablo does a better job arranging and annotating this music, which was recorded by Radio France with permission. The program mixes favorites such as "Take the 'A' Train" (featuring trumpeter ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
16 view cover	Jam Session in Swingville (1961) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins with PeeWee Russell This single CD has all of the music reissued in the mid-'70s on a two-LP set. Although sometimes issued under the names of Coleman Hawkins and Pee Wee Russell, the two great jazzmen actually do not appear together. The music, which is performed by two all-star groups with arrangements by either Jimmy Hamilton or Al Sears, is generally modern swing ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $21.99!
17 view cover	Berlin '65 Paris '67 (1965) more music like this by Duke Ellington By the mid-1960s, the Duke Ellington Orchestra were hardened world travelers and a well-oiled machine that could handle time zones and European audiences with nary an off night. This collection of tracks from Norman Granz' "Jazz At The Philharmonic" master holdings brings together highlights from concerts in Berlin in 1965 and Paris in 1967 and ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $17.79!
18 view cover	Wheelin' & Dealin' (1957) more music like this by John Coltrane with Frank Wess This two-fer from the excellent Prestige series of two-LP sets features Coltrane at a pair of jam-session-type settings in 1957. He is heard along with fellow tenor Paul Quinichette and Frank Wess on flute and tenor on two long versions apiece of "Wheelin'" and "Dealin" in addition to a fine rendition of "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" and a ... see all copies from $35.60!

20 view cover	Like Someone in Love (1975) more music like this by Paul Desmond Quartet In 1992, Telarc unveiled a series of performances from the vault on a short-lived label punningly entitled "Telarchive," beginning with this long-delayed encore to the original releases from Paul Desmond's "Canadian" quartet. Recorded live in Toronto's Bourbon Street Jazz Club several months before the live dates released on Horizon and Artists ... see all copies from $9.35! new only from $9.35!
21 view cover	The Hottest New Group in Jazz [Compilation] (1959) more music like this by Lambert, Hendricks & Ross The immortal vocal jazz group Lambert, Hendricks & Ross recorded five albums during its career: one apiece for Impulse! and World Pacific and three for Columbia.

22 view cover	Oscar Peterson Plays Duke Ellington [Compilation] (1999) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Duke Ellington's music has long excited Oscar Peterson. So when Pablo, in 1999, decided to assemble a collection of Peterson's interpretations of Ellington favorites, the label had a lot to choose from. Spanning 1967-1986, this collection of Norman Granz-produced Pablo sides reminds us how rewarding a combination Peterson's pianism and the Duke's ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
23 view cover	70th Birthday Concert (1995) more music like this by Duke Ellington This double CD reissues a Solid State double LP that ranks as one of Duke Ellington's finest recordings of his final decade. The live performance gives listeners a good idea as to just how Duke's ensemble sounded in concert, and it serves as both a retrospective and a display of the strengths of Ellington's mighty band. Among the many highlights ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $21.12!
24 view cover	Montreux '77 (Oscar Peterson Jam) (1977) more music like this by Oscar Peterson One of many Pablo albums taken from the 1977 Montreux Jazz Festival, this outing teams together pianist Oscar Peterson, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Bobby Durham with tenorman Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and trumpeters Clark Terry and Dizzy Gillespie. The talented (and very competitive) players really dig into the opening uptempo blues ("Ali and ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $10.35!
