1	Jazz Moods: Tranquility (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Concord Jazz was clever enough to realize that there are legions of jazz listeners who use the music as mood music on occasion. Knowing this, the label compiled a whole series titled Jazz Moods, designing each disc to fit a specific mood. With Tranquility, it's a collection of cool jazz, soft bop, fusion, and smooth jazz, all ideal for relaxation. ... see all copies from $4.39! new only from $4.39!
2	The Music of George Gershwin: Jazz Piano Essentials (2000) more music like this by Various Artists George Gershwin's music seems omnipresent, and this collection presents yet another gathering of some of his best songs. While it is neither revolutionary in its approach nor broad in its selection, the music is always pleasant to listen to and this is a well-organized collection. Highlights include "They Can't Take That Away from Me," performed ... see all copies from $5.74! new only from $6.31!
3	Six Ate (1975) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen Although this Candid CD (put out through Koch) may have an unfamiliar title, it is actually a reissue of pianist Joanne Brackeen's first album as a leader which was originally called Snooze. Assisted by bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Billy Hart, Brackeen (who was already 36) even in 1975 already had her own sound although she was more influenced ... see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
4	Colors of Latin Jazz: Samba (2002) more music like this by Various Artists The term Latin jazz usually refers to a blend of jazz and Afro-Cuban music. When people hear the term Latin jazz, the artists who immediately come to mind include Tito Puente, Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo, Cal Tjader, Ray Barretto, Mongo Santamaria, and Poncho Sanchez. Meanwhile, the term Brazilian jazz has been used to describe artists ranging ... see all copies from $6.47! new only from $6.47!
5	The Colors of Latin Jazz: From Samba to Bomba! (2000) more music like this by Various Artists As the fourth release in the Colors of Latin Jazz series, From Samba to Bomba! will appeal to the Latin jazz connoisseur because of its exciting array of compositions that feature the diverse rhythms of a variety of Latin cultures. From the Brazilian samba to the Puerto Rican bomba -- and a number of styles in between, including the ChaChaCha, ... see all copies from $9.16! new only from $9.16!
6	Popsicle Illusion (2000) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen This virtuosic solo piano outing by Joanne Brackeen gives Chick Corea's year 2000 solo series a run for its money. It's also quite a departure from the busier sound of 1999's Pink Elephant Magic. But like her previous record, Popsicle Illusion is packed with Brackeen's characteristic exuberance, sophistication, and diverse stylistic command. ... see all copies from $13.84! new only from $13.84!
7	Special Identity (1981) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen For the third straight album, pianist Joanne Brackeen was joined in 1981 by bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Jack DeJohnette. The potentially forbidding music (which has advanced modal-based solos) is often surprisingly accessible and full of subtle surprises and close interplay by the musicians. Although not her definitive release, this album ... see all copies from $8.00!
8	The Music of Richard Rodgers: Jazz Piano Essentials (2000) more music like this by Various Artists The music of Richard Rodgers performed by a collection of classic artists, this compilation features some of his best-loved songs, including "My Funny Valentine," "If I Loved You," and "Where or When." Stacia Proefrock, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
9	70's Jazz Pioneers: Live at the Town Hall, NYC (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The '70s have been unfairly maligned by some of the more conservative jazz critics, but in truth, the '70s were a very creative decade for jazz. From the fusion of Return to Forever and Weather Report to the funk-jazz of Grover Washington, Jr. and the Crusaders and the modal explorations of McCoy Tyner and Joe Henderson, the '70s were banner years ... see all copies from $10.37! new only from $10.37!
10	Turnaround (1992) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen Quartet The talented and highly original pianist Joanne Brackeen leads an all-star quartet (with altoist Donald Harrison, bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith) at Sweet Basil for this 1992 live session. Brackeen is in top form digging into two standards, Ornette Coleman's "Turnaround" (which is taken as a conventional blues) and three of ... see all copies from $11.34! new only from $11.34!
11	Invitation (1976) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen Joanne Brackeen always keeps the listener guessing with her unpredictable style of playing piano, and this 1976 trio session is no exception. Joined by bassist Clint Houston and drummer Billy Hart, Brackeen takes charge with her swirling up-tempo blues "Six Ate" and her equally complex ballad, "Echoes." The loping "Canyon Lady," written by fellow ... see all copies from $35.00!
12 view cover	Pink Elephant Magic (1999) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen Joanne Brackeen's 22nd recording as a leader, this CD is one of her best overall recordings due to the high-quality material, the unpredictable arrangements, the variety and the exciting and inventive solos by the pianist and her sidemen. Brackeen creates a tender version of Dave Brubeck's "Strange Meadowlark," unaccompanied, uses bassist John ... see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
13 view cover	The Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol. 1-4 (1991) more music like this by Various Artists The Concord label issued several volumes of immaculate solo piano recordings from the Maybeck Recital Hall, and this four-CD set devotes a disk apiece to pianists of different jazz stripes and styles from that series. The more modal and progressive Joanne Brackeen kicks things off with eight standards done in her own inimitable fashion, as well as ... see all copies from $79.99! new only from $79.99!
14	Keyed In (1979) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen It seemed pretty odd in 1979 when the adventurous pianist Joanne Brackeen was signed to Bob James' Tappan Zee label, but fortunately Brackeen was not pressured to perform commercial music. In fact, her two releases for the label (this date would be followed by Ancient Dynasty) are in a similar style as earlier work for smaller labels. Teamed up ... see all copies from $8.00!
15	Prism (1978) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen The third of Joanne Brackeen's three Choice recordings, Prism is a set of piano-bass duets with Eddie Gómez. As usual for the era, all of the compositions are Brackeen's, and the music is both challenging and spontaneous, at least for musicians skilled enough to master the structures. Although underrated, Brackeen has long been one of the giants ... see all copies from $15.00!
16 view cover	Snooze (1975) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen Pianist Joanne Brackeen's debut album (after a barely documented period with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers) is a very impressive effort. Teamed with bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Billy Hart, Brackeen plays in a complex and already original style, interpreting four of her tunes plus "Nefertiti," Miles Davis's "Circles" and "Old Devil Moon." Her ... see all copies from $35.99! new only from $35.99!
17	Ancient Dynasty (1980) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen Bob James surprised many when he signed the adventurous pianist Joanne Brackeen to his Tappan Zee subsidiary of Columbia. As it turned out, James signed her for the simple reason that he was impressed by her music, and Brackeen's Columbia recordings fortunately ended up not being any "simpler" or more "accessible" than her earlier small-label ... see all copies from $12.00!
18	Mythical Magic (1978) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen Solo piano. All originals; perky and pungent. Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.00!
19 view cover	Where Legends Dwell (1991) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen Extraordinary trio with Eddie Gomez on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums, this is her best work of the past decade. Twelve tracks are all originals. Over 70 minutes of incredibly ingenious jazz included. This is easy to dig into. Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide see all copies from $39.26!
20 view cover	Prism [Japan] (2003) more music like this by Joanne Brackeen The third of Joanne Brackeen's three Choice recordings, Prism is a set of piano-bass duets with Eddie Gómez. As usual for the era, all of the compositions are Brackeen's, and the music is both challenging and spontaneous, at least for musicians skilled enough to master the structures. Although underrated, Brackeen has long been one of the giants ... see all copies from $40.19! new only from $40.19!
