| 2. |  | Ken Burns's Jazz: The Story of American Music by Various Artists Price: $34.97 Customer Review: When I discussed the Ric Burns documentary about the old West with an Amerindian acquaintance, I complained that the film concentrated on the Lakota, to the exclusion of other peoples. My friend answered that, as the Lakota was the best known native American culture, that was a good place to start,... |

| 6. |  | A Carnegie Hall Christmas Concert from Sony Price: $8.99 Customer Review: In my opinion, this is one of the best classical Christmas albums. It's not only for classical music fans. It features familiar classical songs as well as hymns and secular Christmas songs. In other words, it's easy on the ear for those who are not usual fans of high pitched soprano sounds. |

| 8. |  | The Hot Fives & Sevens by Louis Armstrong Price: $28.98 Customer Review: As the review by Comic Online here - well worth consulting - reminds us: the historical importance and sheer delight of this music vastly outweighs issues of presentation.

| 14. |  | Pianola Live by Henry Butler Price: $13.99 Customer Review: I saw Mr. Butler a year and a half ago, opening for B.B. King here in Phoenix, at the Dodge Theatre. Seeing him live blew me away. I was simply astonished at the energy of his music, and his personality - which really comes through when he plays. This selection, the newest release is no exception.... |

| 15. |  | The Best of Preservation Hall Jazz Band by Preservation Hall Jazz Band Price: $13.99 Customer Review: I purchased this set because I love New Orleans jazz and I had been to the Preservation Hall several times over the years. I already have several of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band's LPs. Because of Hurricane Katrina, I didn't know if the Band would be producing any more music. So I bought "The Best... |

| 16. |  | Birth of the Hot by Jelly Roll Morton Price: $10.99 Customer Review: Morton was very influential as a composer and pianist, and was a great singer. He was irascible, cantankerous, and had trouble keeping a band together and dealing with the public. He was hard to get along with and it was hard for him to get along with himself! Unlike most musicians and composers of... |

| 18. |  | Bix Beiderbecke, Vol. 1: Singin' the Blues by Bix Beiderbecke Price: $6.99 Customer Review: In addition to being among the most influential and beautiful jazz sides ever recorded, the original Okeh 78s were exceptionally well-recorded for their day, as any collector lucky enough to own one will tell you.

| 19. |  | The Mills Brothers: The Anthology (1931-1968) by The Mills Brothers Price: $31.98 Customer Review: As a former professional singer I look for a number of things in a singing group. First and formost is do they move me. Do you understand the lyrics? Is there stage deportment appropriate for the act they are portraying? In this case the Mills Brothers rate a resounding yes at every turn. All... |

| 20. |  | 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... |
