1	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 4: Bachelor Pad Royale (1996) more music like this by Various Artists As the title implies, the songs on this 18-song compilation were intended for bachelors who wanted to create a suitably suave atmosphere between the mid-'50s and mid-'60s. So although the music draws from jazz (both big band and cool), lounge pop, and film/TV soundtracks, it's primarily designed to set a mood or background. That means that when it ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $11.13!
2	Ultra-Lounge Sampler (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.25! new only from $17.48!
3	Honky Tonk! The King & Federal R&B Instrumentals (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Honky Tonk! is an excellent Ace compilation containing 24 tracks from the vaults of King and Federal records. These instrumental R&B gems are the cream of the crop, many of them jukebox hits released between 1948 and 1964. Freddie King, Sonny Thompson, Jimmy Nolen, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Mickey Baker, King Curtis, and Bill Dogget are featured ... see all copies from $14.86! new only from $14.86!
4	Blow Man, Blow! (1962) more music like this by King Curtis 71 songs spread among three CDs, covering King Curtis's tenure at Capitol from 1962 until 1965. This wasn't the most productive period in Curtis's career, but it was his first chance to make records on more than a piecemeal basis under his own name; the result is a dazzling array of sounds and songs. Hidden among the country covers and abortive ... see all copies from $66.06! new only from $66.06!
5	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 12: Saxophobia (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The lounge sounds of the '50s and '60s on this compilation are very much of a piece with the other volumes of the Ultra-Lounge series. But as you'd expect from the title, the emphasis is on vintage lounge at its jazziest, with the saxophone to the fore. This isn't the kind of jazz you're going to read about in Down Beat, despite the presence of ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
6	The Best of King Curtis [Capitol #1] (1962) more music like this by King Curtis Best of King Curtis collects the bulk of King Curtis' singles for Capitol, plus selected album tracks. Although he didn't have many hits while on Capitol -- only "Soul Serenade" hit the charts -- this collection demonstrates the depths of Curtis' talents, showcasing his stabs at jazz and blues in addition to his trademark R&B. Instant Soul remains ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.79!
7	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 [Box] (1991) more music like this by Various Artists This eight-CD set should be a part of any collection that presumes to take American music -- not just rock & roll or rhythm & blues -- seriously. Atlantic Records was one of dozens of independent labels started up after the war by neophyte executives and producers, but it was different from most of the others in that the guys who ran it were ... see all copies from $79.41! new only from $79.41!
8	Live at Fillmore West [Deluxe] (2006) more music like this by King Curtis After the issue of the four-disc complete Aretha Franklin/King Curtis Live at Fillmore West concerts on the limited-edition Internet-only Rhino Handmade, the label has seen fit to release the original albums by Curtis and Franklin separately, with bonus cuts on each set for the masses. The original Live at Fillmore West was a double LP, so this ... see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
9	Rock Instrumental Classics, Vol. 4: Soul (1994) more music like this by Various Artists While the material on volume four of Rhino's rock instrumentals set chronologically preceded what was on the third volume, no soul, R&B, or even soul-jazz and funk fan should mind these 18 genuine classics, including two superb numbers from Booker T. and the MGs, seminal tracks by the Mar-Keys, Bar-Kays, and Cannonball Adderley, and great Latin ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
10	Live at Fillmore West (1971) more music like this by King Curtis Recorded in front of an enthusiastic audience and released just one week before Curtis' murder in 1971, Live at Fillmore West is a brilliant confirmation of the saxophonist's place in popular music. Backed up by Atlantic's top session men, as well as Billy Preston and the Memphis Horns, Curtis rips through some of the biggest hits of the day, ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $34.31!
11 view cover	Blues at Montreux (1971) more music like this by King Curtis/Champion Jack Dupr This live set from the 1971 Montreux Jazz Festival was co-led by tenor saxophonist King Curtis (who tragically would be killed three months later) and veteran blues pianist/vocalist Champion Jack Dupree. With guitarist Cornell Dupree (in excellent form), bassist Jerry Jemmott and drummer Oliver Jackson laying down the foundation, Curtis and Dupree ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
12 view cover	The New Scene of King Curtis (1960) more music like this by King Curtis At first glance, this would appear to be a CD reissue well worth picking up. R&B tenor saxophonist King Curtis is heard in a rare jazz outing, holding his own with cornetist Nat Adderley (in prime form), pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Oliver Jackson on four originals and "Willow Weep for Me." But the single-CD Soul ... see all copies from $10.38! new only from $10.38!
13 view cover	Night Train (1995) more music like this by King Curtis King Curtis, R&B's great tenor sax player, rides grooves like a cowboy does unruly steeds. Curtis blows ferociously but is always in control, unlike Junior Walker, whose sax seems to be cussing you out at times (which is Walker's charm). Accompanied by several noted jazz artists -- Jack McDuff (organ), Eric Gale (guitar), Willie Rodriguez (bongos, ... see all copies from $14.99! new only from $16.89!
14 view cover	Memphis Soul Stew (2006) more music like this by King Curtis King Curtis and his bubbling, stutter-style tenor sax playing brought a touch of jazz and a whole ton of R&B to countless rock & roll tracks in the early '60s, and his funky edge is one of the reasons records by the Coasters, for instance, continue to sound good 40 years later. This brief collection, Memphis Soul Stew -- it struggles to reach past ... see all copies from $5.48! new only from $5.48!
15	Soul Serenade (1964) more music like this by King Curtis Curtis's second Capitol album is a triumph on every level. The tragedy is that, apart from the hit title track, almost nothing off of this superb album was heard by the public -- most of the singles he was doing were very different from this material. The album featured Curtis' covers of songs like the Bill Doggett co-authored "Honky Tonk," and ... see all copies from $12.00!
16 view cover	Soul Twist and Other Golden Classics (1962) more music like this by King Curtis Here's an interesting set of singles featuring the great tenor saxophonist recording for various Bobby Robinson imprints. His big hit "Soul Twist" (this is the stereo remix, lacking a bit in bite from the original 45) is the centerpiece, but Curtis also sits in with Les Cooper on "Wiggle Wobble" (again the stereo mix, but sounding just fine), and ... see all copies from $10.28! new only from $10.28!
17 view cover	Enjoy...The Best of King Curtis (1989) more music like this by King Curtis Curtis Ousley, known to the world as tenor saxophonist King Curtis, cut these tasty tracks for the Enjoy record label in 1962 with a session band billed as "the Noble Knights." Because the Twist was really "in," the entire session has an irrepressible R&B-to-rock & roll quality perfectly suitable for freeway driving, food preparation, dancing, ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
18 view cover	Unchained Melody (2007) more music like this by King Curtis Unchained Melody is actually a reissue of Azure, King Curtis' sole LP from Everest Records, with a couple of bonus tracks added. Originally issued in 1960, it has little of the rough R&B tone that Curtis is best known for, but emotes more of a late-night jazzy feel, helped by almost perfectly realized arrangements by Sammy Lowe and vocal ... see all copies from $3.09! new only from $3.09!
19 view cover	Sweet Soul/Everybody's Talkin' (2005) more music like this by King Curtis see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
20 view cover	Raging Harlem Hit Parade (1992) more music like this by Various Artists An eclectic mix of '50s and '60s blues nuggets from the vaults of Fire, Fury, and other minor labels, it includes hits by Lightnin' Hopkins, Buster Brown, King Curtis, and Wilbert Harrison. John Floyd, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.00!
21 view cover	Jingle Bell Jam: Jazz Christmas Classics (1995) more music like this by Various Artists A swinging, accessibly straightforward collection of Christmas tunes arranged for jazz orchestras and small combos alike, Jingle Bell Jam: Jazz Christmas Classics features infectious performances from Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker, King Curtis, Booker T. & the MG's, Dexter Gordon, Carmen McRae, Lou Rawls, the Vince Guaraldi Trio, ... see all copies from $3.48!
22 view cover	Trouble in Mind (1961) more music like this by King Curtis This CD reissue brings back a very unusual King Curtis set. Rather than playing R&B-ish tenor as usual, Curtis switches to alto, plays effective guitar on a few numbers, and sings most of the tunes. Joined by guitarists Al Casey and Mac Pierce, pianist Paul Griffin, bassist Jimmy Lewis, drummer Belton Evans and three female vocalists, Curtis ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $13.00!
23 view cover	Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974, Vol. 6 (1966-1969) (1985) more music like this by Various Artists In the mid-'60s, Atlantic signed Aretha Franklin, who proved to be every bit as soulful and seminal as Otis Redding, the main star on their Stax subsidiary. Reprsented by such hits as "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "Respect," "Try a Little Tenderness," "I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)" and "Do Right Woman -- Do Right Man," Franklin and ... see all copies from $3.98!
24 view cover	That Lovin' Feeling (1966) more music like this by King Curtis That Lovin' Feeling was originally released in 1966 on Atlantic subsidiary Atco Records and featured King Curtis playing saxello (a soprano saxophone, for all practical purposes) on a dozen 1960s pop hits. This isn't the hard-blowing and honking Curtis that most people will recall from his Enjoy sessions, but shows him in a jazzy MOR mode working ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
25 view cover	Give a Twist Party (1962) more music like this by The Shirelles & King Curtis see all copies from $7.98! new only from $7.98!
