| 4. |  | Secret Story 2CD Special Edition by Pat Metheny Price: $15.97 Customer Review: Pat Metheny has been a hit with me since the early 80's Each release has for me made its mark to some extent. Always a companion on my travels to "of the beaten track" exotic locations for my work, the music still conjures a remarkable ability to rekindle in my mind some great... |

| 5. |  | A Merry Christmas by Stan Kenton Price: $8.97 Customer Review: I confess that I prefer the Capital Bones' renditions of these same arrangements. The REAL hook for me on this CD was the original Roulette version of Maynard Ferguson's "Christmas for Moderns." While the later version of this tune on the second Concord Christmas compilation is nice, Maynard was in... |

| 6. |  | Ellington At Newport 1956 by Duke Ellington Price: $22.99 Customer Review:  This recording is indispensable for Ellington fans, big band fans, and serious jazz music aficionados, but I think for the most part, the uneven recording quality and excessive tracks of pretty meaningless introductions, not to mention the riot quelling track, sort of miss the point and, I think,... |

| 7. |  | A Tale of God's Will (A Requiem for Katrina) by Terence Blanchard Price: $12.97 Customer Review: It's a requiem.(period) Mr. Blanchard is a genius on scoring pieces. Throught this emotional journey you cry and hope for the best. Thank you so much. |

| 8. |  | Porgy and Bess by Miles Davis Price: $11.98 Customer Review: While the melodies are lovely, and the music is well played, there is something missing from this recording. It doesn't quite reach the level of Gershwin's dramatic musicianship. Nice to listen to, but it would not be my first choice for this opera. |

| 9. |  | The Great Summit: The Master Takes by Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington Price: $8.97 Customer Review: If you like music, you'll like this. If you're curious about jazz, but have no idea where to start, look no further: this is the place. Two masters, combining gloriously to make timeless, magical music. |

| 10. |  | Miles Ahead by Miles Davis Price: $8.99 Customer Review: Either as its own or as part of the elegant boxed set collecting all of the orchestral collaborations between Miles Davis and Gil Evans, "Miles Ahead" finds the ripe Davis crossing into previously unchartered lands for him - playing in front of a large-scale orchestra conducted by Gil Evans. Unlike... |

| 12. |  | Blue Miles by Miles Davis Price: $6.99 Customer Review: This is probably one of the best Miles Davis compilations I've ever heard. It's nice and mellow but not boring. The songs on the albums date from 1956-1967;a period when Miles was a major influence on his horn and in jazz. While probably not an essential album to have, it's a good set of tunes that... |

| 13. |  | Masterpieces by Ellington by Duke Ellington Price: $8.99 Customer Review: When Ellington went into the studio in 1951 to record the longer tracks on this disc, his orchestra was a bridge between its late-1940's configuration (the 5-man trumpet section) and its mid-1950's personnel. The sax section had settled into the form it would have for most of the ensuing two decades... |

| 14. |  | The OKeh Ellington by Duke Ellington Price: $14.99 Customer Review:  The mastering credits of this collection credit Tim Geeland and Larry Keyes for this mess. May your names live in shame forever. Its criminal what they did to these recordings. Terrible noise reduction job that kill these recordings and make them sound like coming from a closed garage. That... |

| 15. |  | The Very Best of Duke Ellington by Duke Ellington Price: $11.98 Customer Review: Duek Ellington was my first introduction to Jazz Music and in truth after him and no offense to anyone else,but his standards of Music and overall Composition, arragements and his Band were set so high that you could forever be lost in his groove and never want to come out. he had a classy flair for... |

| 16. |  | An Anthology of Big Band Swing (1930-1955) by Various Artists Price: $24.99 Customer Review:  While there was a renaissance of interest in swing in the 1990s, and while much of this was among a relatively younger --late 20s, 30s, 40s-- audience, swing CDs are increasingly out of print. Decca and Brunswick recorded many important swing artists in the 1930s and 1940s, the period of focus... |

| 17. |  | Never No Lament: The Blanton-Webster Band by Duke Ellington Price: $25.97 Customer Review: This should have been a five-out-of-five star review, but the packaging is so crummy that it is generous to only grade it as a three star. There is no tracks listing. You have to take out the booklet and hunt for the tracks titles in the margins of 18 pages of liner notes. This alone is... |

| 18. | ![Duke Ellington - Greatest Hits [RCA]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41402JR4ZBL._SL160_.jpg) | Duke Ellington - Greatest Hits [RCA] by Duke Ellington Price: $11.98 Customer Review: A great disc of some of Duke Ellington's better known music on the RCA label. Duke recorded for many different labels during his long career, so a 'Greatest Hits' is actually a difficult task. Of the 15 tracks, 9 were recorded between 1944 and 1946, 1 from 1967, 1 from 1928, and 4 from 1941 to 1942.... |

| 19. |  | Cuban Fire! by Stan Kenton Price: $8.49 Customer Review: The opening number of "Fuego Cubano" is just a portent of things to come. Absolutely beautiful orchestral arrangements for the Kenton band. These numbers showcase the powerful brass section, with the trombones especially coming to the fore (Bob Fitzpatrick, Carl Fontana, Kent Larsen). Marvelous... |

| 20. |  | Piano in the Foreground by Duke Ellington Price: $11.98 Customer Review: The Duke's skills as a pianist while great, were exceeded by his nuanced treatment of the music. As a solo player he reflected his "stride" background, but in other ways he was ahead of his time. His playing influenced many of the greatest writer composers for the piano of the later decades. |
