1	The Best of Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program was the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, which was augmented by no less than 22 ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $11.06!
2	Diz 'N Bird at Carnegie Hall (1947) more music like this by Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie Nine years after Benny Goodman's groundbreaking concert, bebop finally came to Carnegie Hall. Most notable on this 1997 CD (which contains music that has been reissued many times, often incoherently) is the meeting between altoist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Joined by the underrecorded piano of John Lewis, bassist Al McKibbon and ... see all copies from $4.23! new only from $11.13!
3	Girl from Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook (1962) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim The first of several tribute albums issued just after Antonio Carlos Jobim's death, this one generally sticks to his most famous songs as interpreted by several Brazilian and American artists from PolyGram's archives. Jobim himself appears on such obvious choices as the best-selling Stan Getz, João Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto hit "The Girl from ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
4	Sonny Side Up (1957) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie/Sonny Stitt/Sonny Rollins Dizzy Gillespie brings together tenor saxophonists Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins for four extended cuts, and in the process comes up with one of the most exciting "jam session" records in the jazz catalog. While the rhythm section of pianist Ray Bryant, bassist Tommy Bryant, and drummer Charlie Persip provides solid rhythmic support, Stitt and ... see all copies from $16.57! new only from $16.57!
5	To Bird with Love: Live at the Blue Note (1992) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie To Bird with Love: Live at the Blue Note was taken from a month that Dizzy Gillespie was featured at the Blue Note in New York, virtually at the end of his playing career, the 74-year-old trumpeter is quite erratic on this set of bop standards. However, his supporting cast (heard from in different combinations) includes such major players as ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.44!
6	Jambo Caribe (1964) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie The populist Dizzy Gillespie gets full rein in this lively, happy collection of tunes exploring rhythms and idioms from the Caribbean. Gillespie is in an ebullient mood, even offering some sly lead calypso vocals on three numbers (perhaps his lighthearted presidential "campaign" of 1964 contributed to the high spirits; the sessions began a day ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.91!
7	The Alternate Blues (1992) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie with Freddie Hubbard and Clark Terry This CD is a straight reissue of a Pablo LP. Norman Granz teamed together the very distinctive trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard and Clark Terry with pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Bobby Durham for a "Trumpet Summit." This particular release features (with one exception) unissued material from ... see all copies from $4.66! new only from $10.44!
8	To a Finland Station (1982) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie with Arturo Sandova This unique set finds Dizzy Gillespie (who was nearly age 65) sharing the frontline with the great Cuban trumpeter Arturo Sandoval. Backed by a fine Finnish rhythm section, Sandoval and the great trumpeter are both in good spirits playing five of Gillespie's originals including "Wheatleigh Hall" and "And Then She Stopped." Considering that it ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.44!
9	An Electrifying Evening with the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet (1961) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Quintet Dizzy Gillespie (along with altoist Leo Wright, pianist Lalo Schfrin, bassist Bob Cunningham, and drummer Chuck Lampkin) were in peak form for this live performance. Their versions of "Kush," "Salt Peanuts," and "The Mooche" are all excellent, but it is "A Night in Tunisia," with its absolutely stunning trumpet break (which lasts half a chorus), ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
10	Bird & Diz (1950) more music like this by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie This collection of 78 rpm singles, all recorded on June 6, 1950, was originally issued in album format in 1956 (this CD reissue adds three alternate takes to make what was originally a very skimpy program slightly more generous). Several things distinguish this from numerous other quintet recordings featuring these two bebop pioneers. It was ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $13.00!
11 view cover	Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods (1975) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie with Machito Here we have a summit meeting late in the careers of the pioneering titans of Afro-Cuban jazz -- Dizzy Gillespie fronting the Machito orchestra on trumpet, with Mario Bauza as music director, alto saxophonist/clarinetist, and organizing force, and Chico O'Farrill contributing the compositions and arrangements. This could have been just a nostalgic ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $11.16!
12 view cover	Birk's Works: Verve Big Band Sessions (1956) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy Gillespie's globetrotting big band of 1956-1957 was one of his finest groups, a very exciting orchestra that at various times had such players as trumpeters Gillespie, Joe Gordon, and Lee Morgan, trombonists Melba Liston and Al Grey, altoists Phil Woods and Ernie Henry, the tenors of Billy Mitchell, Ernie Wilkins, and Benny Golson, and ... see all copies from $14.98! new only from $20.94!
13 view cover	Live at the 1965 Monterey Jazz Festival (2007) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy Gillespie was a regular at the Monterey Jazz Festival, but the audience at the 1965 edition was witness to one very special performance. By this time Gillespie and the core members of his current band had already been together for a few years, and while they had jelled to a point that all bands hope to reach, where their interactions become ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $13.71!
14 view cover	Bebop Spoken Here [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Anyone wanting to dive into the world of jazz would do very well to check out this and the many other stellar box sets put out by England's Proper label. Showing how it should be done in the compilation game, the label packs this four-disc set with prime material and a 56-page booklet that includes extensive notes, a detailed sessionography, and ... see all copies from $16.00! new only from $18.96!
15 view cover	Duets: Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt (1957) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie With Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins The product of a day's worth of recording at Nola Studios in 1957, this album is essentially the same as a much older release of the same on Verve, but the master tapes had been found and remastered into stereo along with the addition of a couple of tracks previously left off the album. Presumably, these are the same sessions that spawned the ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
16 view cover	The Gifted Ones (1977) more music like this by Count Basie with Dizzy Gillespie Norman Granz got this one backwards. Instead of featuring Dizzy Gillespie with the Count Basie Orchestra, he put Gillespie and Basie together in a quartet which the trumpeter naturally dominates. The music is generally quite rewarding, including an unusual version of "St. James Infirmary," but never reaches the great heights one might have ... see all copies from $11.45! new only from $11.45!
17 view cover	The Original Mambo Kings: An Introduction to Afro-Cubop (1993) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.18!
18 view cover	Sittin' In (1957) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
19 view cover	Carter, Gillespie, Inc. (1976) more music like this by Benny Carter with Dizzy Gillespie Although they were from different musical generations (Benny Carter was born ten years before Dizzy Gillespie), it is little wonder that the swing altoist and the bop trumpeter could match up so well on this sextet session; they were quite compatible. Surprisingly, the material they chose to perform could have been better (there is only one Carter ... see all copies from $15.00!
20 view cover	Introducing Verve Jazz Masters, Vol. 20 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists At least this pocket-sized, budget-priced trip through 22 years of jazz doesn't pretend to be a definitive primer on jazz. It is simply and purely a sampler from the first 19 issues of Verve's Jazz Masters series; in other words, a sampler of a sampler. There is some clever segueing; the opening track, Louis Armstrong's "Just One of Those Things" ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
21 view cover	The Complete Cole Porter Songbooks (1993) more music like this by Various Artists This is not and cannot be the Complete Cole Porter Songbooks, but it's a marvelous collection of 48 timeless jazz interpretations drawn from the Verve catalog. Recorded between 1951 and 1988, these standards, ballads and show tunes are rendered by some 15 vocalists, many of whom appear twice, and about 13 instrumental groups. In addition to the ... see all copies from $32.47! new only from $32.47!
22 view cover	Bird Songs: The Final Recordings (1992) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie With this CD, Telarc squeezes another package out of a month-long salute to the jazz master's 75th birthday at New York's Blue Note jazz club, advertising them as Dizzy Gillespie's last recordings (they're not). What it is, is a mixed blessing, an obviously heartfelt tribute to an aging legend by several of his disciples, conservative to a fault ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
23 view cover	At Newport (1957) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This CD features Dizzy Gillespie's second great big band at the peak of its powers. On the rapid "Dizzy's Blues" and a truly blazing "Cool Breeze," the orchestra really roars; the latter performance features extraordinary solos by Gillespie, trombonist Al Grey, and tenor saxophonist Billy Mitchell. In addition to fine renditions of "Manteca" and ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
24 view cover	The Beat Generation [Rhino] (1992) more music like this by Various Artists A three-CD box set featuring recordings from titans including William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Kenneth Rexroth, The Beat Generation works in tandem with Rhino's earlier compilation The Jack Kerouac Collection to paint a definitive audio portrait of one of the seminal literary uprisings of the 20th century. Because the Beats were so ... see all copies from $129.95!
25 view cover	Roots of Acid Jazz [GRP] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $12.49!
