1	Jacquet's Got It! (1988) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet & Big Band The Illinois Jacquet big band has been together on a part-time basis for over a decade, yet this is still its only recording. Fortunately, it is a very good one, displaying its leader's love for hard-swinging and exciting performances. The featured sidemen include trombonist Frank Lacy, trumpeters Irv Stokes and Jon Faddis, clarinetist Rudy ... see all copies from $3.11! new only from $5.85!
2	Flying Home: The Best of Verve Years (1951) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet Illinois Jacquet's reputation as a premier improvising swing-to-bop tenor saxophonist is firmly cemented via these 20 selections, actually the best of the Clef label recordings in the '50s produced by Norman Granz. This is a well-chosen collection, with groups ranging from small ensembles and spirited organ combos (check out the very hip "Port of ... see all copies from $11.82! new only from $13.91!
3	Black Legends of Jazz [Decca] (1926) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.99!
4	Desert Winds (1964) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet Illinois Jacquet's searing sax solo in 1942's "Flying Home" (recorded while Jacquet was a member of Lionel Hampton's band) is often credited as the first R&B-styled saxophone solo, and there is no denying the power in that performance, shards of which are still being copied and assimilated. But many critics of the day hated the "dirty tenor" sound ... see all copies from $3.78! new only from $10.44!
5	Big Band Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Big Band Greatest Hits is an entertaining collection of swing classics, including Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing," Glenn Miller's "Chattanooga Choo Choo," Tommy Dorsey's "I'll Never Smile Again," Duke Ellington's "Take the 'A' Train," and Artie Shaw's "Stardust." While it is assembled too haphazardly to appeal to the jazz purists, it is an ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
6	The Blues; That's Me! (1969) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet Tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet is heard in top form throughout this quintet set with pianist Wynton Kelly, guitarist Tiny Grimes, bassist Buster Williams, and drummer Oliver Jackson. The music, which falls between swing, bop and early R&B, is generally quite exciting, especially "Still King," "Every Day I Have the Blues," and the lengthy title ... see all copies from $6.17! new only from $10.29!
7	Jazz Legends [Laserlight] (1993) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.35!
8	Bottoms Up (1968) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet Even in 1968 when the jazz avant-garde was becoming quite influential, tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet played in his own timeless style, performing in an idiom little changed during the previous 20 years. With the assistance of pianist Barry Harris, bassist Ben Tucker, and drummer Alan Dawson, Jacquet is heard throughout this CD reissue (which ... see all copies from $8.81! new only from $10.35!
9	The Soul Explosion (1969) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet The great tenor Illinois Jacquet is joined by a ten-piece group that includes trumpeter Joe Newman and Milt Buckner on piano and organ for this 1969 Prestige studio session which has been reissued on CD by the OJC series. Jacquet is in prime form, particularly on "The Soul Explosion" (which benefits from a Jimmy Mundy arrangement), a definitive ... see all copies from $7.12! new only from $7.12!

13 view cover	Jumpin' at Apollo (2002) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet Illinois Jacquet jumped from being a little-known 19-year-old to the tenor to emulate when he soloed on "Flying Home" in Lionel Hampton's band in 1942. This, in turn, brought him to the attention of Cab Calloway in 1943 and eventually helped him found his own band in the mid-'40s. Jumpin' at Apollo delivers 23 tunes Jacquet recorded as a leader ... see all copies from $11.52! new only from $18.07!
14 view cover	Flying Home (1947) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet This is a great selection of Jacquet's late-'40s/early-'50s work, hot on the heels of his success with Jazz At The Philharmonic and his tenure with the Lionel Hampton Band. There's lots of honking and squealing coupled to Jacquet's patented abrasive tone, one of the most exciting in jazz, heard to good effect on "Jet Propulsion." Jacquet's brother ... see all copies from $2.22! new only from $5.47!
15 view cover	The Prestige Records Story (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Like most of the now-prized jazz labels, Prestige Records sprang from the vision of one man - a 20-year-old kid, actually - named Bob Weinstock, who guided the label from its infancy in 1949 until 1971 when he sold out to Fantasy. Although Prestige continued to record for awhile after 1971, Fantasy chose to survey only the Weinstock years in this ... see all copies from $34.98! new only from $34.98!

17 view cover	The Kid and the Brute (1954) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet This single CD reissues all of the music from a former LP and a ten-inch LP. Of greatest interest are two fairly long selections (the blues "I Wrote This for the Kid" and a stomping "The Kid and the Brute") that match Illinois Jacquet with fellow tenor great Ben Webster. Since they have equally passionate and distinctive sounds, their "battle" is ... see all copies from $29.99! new only from $36.95!
18 view cover	The Best of Chess Jazz (1950) more music like this by Various Artists This double LP has music from 18 different groups (mostly from 1956-66) and puts the focus on Chess's much-overlooked jazz catalog. Best-known as one of the leading Chicago blues labels, Chess (as shown on this two-fer) recorded many interesting jazz dates ranging from James Moody and Gene Ammons to Benny Goodman, the Jazztet, Ramsey Lewis and ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $18.00!

23 view cover	Loot to Boot (1991) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet The origin dates and sources for the eight numbers on this nearly hour-long collection aren't listed, from Sonny Lester's archives, but it's possible to take a guess based on the fact that Jacquet is playing with Jimmy McGriff and Buddy Rich on six of the numbers. In fact, some of these seem almost to be Jimmy McGriff sessions for the most part, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.14!

25 view cover	Black Lion Connoisseur/Lions Abroad, Vol. 1: Tenor Titans (1996) more music like this by Various Artists A two-disc set of largely European recordings made by visiting and touring American tenor jazzmen between 1962 and 1971. The only ringer is a New York date from 1962 with Bud Freeman and a 1946 session with Wardell Gray. The material is good and most of the players sound relaxed, even if the European musicians don't always play in the pocket. ... see all copies from $7.94!
