1	Jazz Moods: Jazz at Weeks End (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Concord Jazz was clever enough to realize that there are legions of jazz listeners that use the music as mood music, on occasion. Knowing this, the label compiled a whole series entitled Jazz Moods, designing each disc to fit a specific mood. With Jazz at Week's End, it's a collection of lightly swinging soul-jazz and cool jazz, ideal for ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.20!
2	Hand-Crafted Swing (1991) more music like this by Howard Alden with George Van Eps The master of the seven-string guitar, George Van Eps, joins the rising young jazz guitarist Howard Alden, which works perfectly in spite of a 45-year difference in age and different approaches to the guitar. Van Eps' chordal style meshes perfectly with Alden's single note lines in part because of the younger man's study of the senior's recordings ... see all copies from $8.81! new only from $9.92!
3	Jazz Weekend (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Another volume in the popular series of classic jazz by Concord, Jazz Weekend presents a fun collection of some of jazz's greatest players, including Django Reinhardt, Marian McPartland, Irving Berlin, and Charlie Byrd.

4	My Shining Hour (2002) more music like this by Howard Alden With all of the recording activity by guitarist Howard Alden in the dozen or so years prior to the 2002 release of My Shining Hour, it is hard to believe that this is his first unaccompanied date. Alternating between electric and acoustic archtop seven-string guitars, Alden delivers one masterful performance after another. His brilliant technique ... see all copies from $8.19! new only from $10.44!
5	Seven & Seven (1992) more music like this by George Van Eps & Howard Alden This is the third of four studio dates featuring guitarists George Van Eps and Howard Alden together, except that they are both on seven-string instruments and without a rhythm section this time around. Alden's step up to the more versatile instrument enables him to use a bassline when needed while also enabling him to achieve chord voicings that ... see all copies from $7.56! new only from $9.99!
6	Misterioso (1991) more music like this by Howard Alden This Concord CD serves as a particularly strong showcase for guitarist Howard Alden who is featured in a trio with bassist Frank Tate and drummer Keith Copeland. Alden's repertoire contains plenty of unusual but superior choices (including Bud Freeman's "Song Of The Dove," "Flying Down To Rio," Duke Ellington's "Black Beauty" and "Ghost Of ... see all copies from $14.97!
7	Jazz 101: Introduction to Jazz Guitar (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A nice, affordable collection taken from the vaults of Concord Jazz.

8	A Concord Jazz Christmas (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This CD collects 17 performances of Christmas-related songs, none of which were released elsewhere.

9	In a Mellow Tone (2003) more music like this by Howard Alden/Bucky Pizzarelli Howard Alden and Bucky Pizzarelli played together a number of times over the years during jazz parties and in concerts, though the two seven-string guitarists never made a full CD together until In a Mellow Tone (though Alden appeared on a few tracks of Pizzarelli's A Portrait). Both heirs to the legacy of guitarist George Van Eps (who popularized ... see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
10	Full Circle (1998) more music like this by Howard Alden & Jimmy Bruno For its 25th anniversary in 1998, Concord Jazz came up with a unique package comprised of the first and last sessions that label founder Carl Jefferson produced. Jefferson was nothing if not consistent in his vision from beginning to end, for both albums were guitar duo sessions in a mainstream idiom with bass and drums. Flashing back a quarter of ... see all copies from $8.15! new only from $9.99!
11	An Era Remembered: From Pearl Harbor to VJ Day (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Not that fans ever need a new movie blockbuster as an excuse to release a collection of jazz and swing classics, but no doubt the film Pearl Harbor inspired Concord to reach into its wondrous vaults and create this exciting historical compilation. For this special release, 15 gems from those vaults have been gathered together, paying tribute to ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
12 view cover	Concord Jazz Guitar Collective (1995) more music like this by Howard Alden/Frank Vignola/Jimmy Bruno The Concord Jazz Guitar Collective was a 1995 project that united Howard Alden with fellow guitarists and Concord artists Jimmy Bruno and Frank Vignola. For Concord, a three-guitar date was hardly unprecedented; back in 1974, the label had brought Barney Kessel, Charlie Byrd, and Herb Ellis together as the Great Guitars. Despite the fact that they ... see all copies from $8.81! new only from $10.35!

14 view cover	Love (2001) more music like this by Terrie Richards Alden & Howard Alden The lightly swinging singer Terrie Richards Alden's second CD is a series of intimate duets with her husband, the phenomenal guitarist Howard Alden. She savors each lyric with clear intonation, and has a knack for emphasizing the essence of each melody. Howard Alden, one of the greatest guitarists of his generation, tends to play the precise ... see all copies from $16.90! new only from $16.90!
15 view cover	Take Your Pick (1996) more music like this by Howard Alden Although best-known for his work in mainstream swing settings, guitarist Howard Alden has long been interested in later periods of jazz. On this superior outing, he doubles on seven-string acoustic and electric guitars (which allow him to add basslines). Lew Tabackin is on four of the ten numbers (three on tenor, one on flute) and pianist Renee ... see all copies from $8.40! new only from $11.63!
16 view cover	No Amps Allowed (1985) more music like this by Howard Alden With Jack Lesberg The combination of guitarist Howard Alden and bassist Jack Lesberg works quite well on this intriguing set. The duo performs some spontaneous versions of standards, while other obscure works are fully arranged. The music is mostly swing but also occasionally looks toward the 1920s. Highlights include Duke Ellington's "Dancers in Love," George Van ... see all copies from $13.30! new only from $13.30!
17 view cover	Soulmates (2002) more music like this by Butch Miles/Howard Alden Butch Miles has made relatively few recordings as a leader during his long career, especially when compared to the prolific output of co-leader Howard Alden during the 1980s and 1990s, but this very enjoyable concert in Hamburg's Amerika Haus is available again as a limited-edition reissue, following its initial issue in 1995. Miles clearly knows ... see all copies from $9.51! new only from $9.51!
18 view cover	Live in '95 (2004) more music like this by Howard Alden/Dan Barrett Quintet With guitarist Howard Alden and trombonist Dan Barrett leading a quintet -- any quintet -- the results are bound to be entrancing.

21 view cover	The ABQ Salutes Buck Clayton (1989) more music like this by Howard Alden/Dan Barrett Quintet It is surprising that the Alden-Barrett quintet (ABQ has recorded relatively little for the group comprised of guitarist Howard Alden, trombonist Dan Barrett, Chuck Wilson on alto and clarinet, bassist Frank Tate, and drummer Jackie Williams) was one of the top small swing groups of the late '80s, creating an unusual sound that often recalled the ... see all copies from $7.99!
22 view cover	Jazz Celebration: A Tribute To Carl Jefferson (1992) more music like this by Various Artists The late Carl Jefferson was instrumental in getting the Concord Pavilion built, founding the Concord Jazz Festival, and building Concord Jazz into one of the major independent jazz labels from the time he got it underway in 1972 to his death in 1995.

25 view cover	Good Likeness (1992) more music like this by The Howard Alden Trio Howard Alden is heard in prime form throughout this superior trio set, which matches his guitar with bassist Michael Moore and drummer Alan Dawson. Although thought of as a swing player, and there are versions of Bud Freeman's "The Eel's Nephew" and Willie "The Lion" Smith's "Echo of Spring" on this CD, a lot of the music is much more modern. ... see all copies from $10.00!
