1	Handel's Messiah: A Soulful Celebration (1992) more music like this by Various Artists Contemporary soul-pop artists, including Patti Austin, Tevin Campbell, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jone, Take 6, Howard Hewett, and Dianne Reeves, take a pop-song approach to Handel's classic Christmas oratorio. Handel's wonderful melodies are updated with synthesizers, drum machines, and slick pop production from Quincy Jones and Take 6's Mervyn Warren ... see all copies from $7.42! new only from $9.20!
2	Blue Hats (1997) more music like this by Yellowjackets As they continue to evolve, the Yellowjackets have gradually gone from being an R&B-oriented fusion band to a more acoustic group that emphasizes fairly straight-ahead improvisations. Although this CD has nine originals by bandmembers and some electronics are utilized (primarily by keyboardist Russell Ferrante for color), much of the music would ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $11.39!
3	Best of Smooth Jazz [Warner] (1997) more music like this by Various Artists One could imagine this extremely radio-friendly grab bag as the sole "jazz" album on the shelf of a casual Wal-Mart shopper who bought it on an impulse. Indeed, it will give the harried consumer on the go an hour or so of easy-listening jazz, chosen with some care from a 21-year span of Warner Bros. recordings and ranging from the most recycled ... see all copies from $3.75! new only from $13.09!
4	Four Corners (1987) more music like this by Yellowjackets Taking a cue from Weather Report (not to mention a percussionist, Alex Acuña), the Yellowjackets created more exotic textures for Four Corners, often with the use of Zawinul-like synthesizers from Russell Ferrante. The album otherwise represents a shift toward more traditional jazz, felt profoundly in the rhythm section of Jimmy Haslip and new ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $13.40!
5	Like a River (1992) more music like this by Yellowjackets Other than the easy-listening pieces that appear near the beginning of the program, this is one of The Yellowjackets' strongest jazz dates. Bob Mintzer's creative reeds (switching between tenor, bass clarinet, soprano and the EWI) keep the music stimulating and keyboardist Russell Ferrante has come a long way as both an improviser (where he is ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.99!
6	Yellowjackets (1981) more music like this by Yellowjackets The Yellowjackets made a splash with their first record, an accessible mixture of jazz, rock, and funk bearing the unmistakable mark of the L.A. session scene that spawned them. In fact, the Yellowjackets had their roots in the sessions for Robben Ford's 1979 album The Inside Story. Russell Ferrante, Jimmy Haslip, and Ricky Lawson all appeared on ... see all copies from $3.87! new only from $39.72!
7	A Twist of Jobim (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The debut release from the I.E. label (which is connected with Polygram) is an unusual multi-artist tribute to the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim. Some of his tunes are made funky (but in a melodic and tasteful way), while others become quiet (but still passionate) ballads. The treatments are all jazz-oriented, and there is plenty of solo space for ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $13.40!
8	Peace Round: A Christmas Celebration (2003) more music like this by Yellowjackets This progressive jazz supergroup had previously contributed tracks to three high-profile holiday jazz recordings (including a GRP collection and Take 6's He Is Christmas), but never took the full plunge into the stocking stuffer realm until now. There's definitely a sense of spunk and spontaneity as the quartet does its first and second takes, but ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $6.85!
9	Twenty Five (2006) more music like this by Yellowjackets Celebrating the smooth jazz giant's 25th anniversary as an ensemble, Twenty Five features the Yellowjackets performing live in Paris in 2005. Showcasing the tenor sax talents of Bob Mintzer, the band also includes longtime members pianist Russell Ferrante, bassist Jimmy Haslip, and drummer Marcus Baylor. Here, the Yellowjackets run through such ... see all copies from $14.58! new only from $16.81!
10	Dreamland (1995) more music like this by Yellowjackets Perhaps the finest recording of this quartet's illustrious career, Dreamland captures the Yellowjackets at the peak of their compositional and performing craft. This band has moved far beyond its peers with this release. The music here is simply intoxicating, full of gorgeous melodies, deceptively intricate changes, subtle rhythmic and harmonic ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.89!
11 view cover	Greenhouse (1990) more music like this by Yellowjackets The Yellowjackets' first release for GRP, Greenhouse, is a real gas. The disc starts innocently enough with "Freedomland," the kind of smart smooth jazz song that marked The Spin. It's on the following "Greenhouse" that listeners glimpse a change in the air: Strings (!) set the stage for dreamy, exotic jazz that melts in your mind, music that goes ... see all copies from $7.34!
12 view cover	Casino Lights: Recorded Live at Montreux, Switzerland (1982) more music like this by Various Artists Casino Lights includes several tracks with Randy Crawford & Al Jarreau, plus the Yellowjackets, David Sanborn and Mike Mainieri. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.16! new only from $11.39!
13	Politics (1988) more music like this by The Yellowjackets A nearly complete departure from smooth jazz, Politics is arguably the Yellowjackets' strongest effort to date. True, there is the pure pop of the single "Local Hero" (which features a rhythm section more rock than jazz) and the accessible "Evening Dance" to be considered, but they're the exceptions rather than the rule. Like Four Corners before ... see all copies from $6.89!
14 view cover	A Song a Day (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99!
15 view cover	Altered State (2005) more music like this by Yellowjackets The most adventurous quartet in contemporary jazz has met its visual match in Peter Max, the legendary pop artist who, as it turns out, is a huge fan of the band. Russell Ferrante and company could probably feel at home naming any of their innovative, loose-spirited albums after one of Max's paintings, but Altered State definitely fits the vibe ... see all copies from $5.41! new only from $16.81!
16 view cover	GRP Christmas Collection, Vol. 3 (1993) more music like this by Various Artists GRP's third edition features key artists, e.g. Dave Grusin, David Benoit, Diane Schuur and Tom Scott, who have appeared on the previous volumes returning to render their interpretations of new Christmas material. GRP artists appearing for the first time on any holiday recording include Yellowjackets performing "Go Tell It on the Mountain," and B.B ... see all copies from $10.95!
17 view cover	Time Squared (2003) more music like this by Yellowjackets Following on the heels of their Grammy-nominated Mint Jam, their self-released 2001 "live" recording, the Yellowjackets continue to blaze an enjoyable musical trail that pulsates with their energy and signature sound that few will fail to recognize and many have come to love over the past 30 years. With Time Squared, the group's first studio ... see all copies from $5.98! new only from $13.99!
18 view cover	Collection (1995) more music like this by Yellowjackets The Yellowjackets were a fixture on the GRP label for a decade, and this CD is a sampling of some of their work from the period. During that era, in addition to keyboardist Russell Ferrante, electric bassist Jimmy Haslip and drummer William Kennedy, the Yellowjackets were joined by the reeds of Bob Mintzer (who is heard here playing tenor, bass ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.25!
19 view cover	Mint Jam (2002) more music like this by Yellowjackets This set differs from most of the Yellowjackets' previous recordings in several ways: It is a two-CD set, it has not been released by a major record company but instead has been put out by the group's own private label, and the music overall emphasizes straight-ahead jazz and dynamic solos. In fact, it contains some of the best solos on record by ... see all copies from $23.50! new only from $42.99!
20 view cover	Jazz Live (1994) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.92!
21 view cover	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of the Yellowjackets (2006) more music like this by The Yellowjackets This addition to the seemingly never-ending 20th Century Masters series finds Universal digging into the GRP archives for this Yellowjackets compilation, which is decidedly different than 1999's Best of Yellowjackets collection and resembles in slightly modified form GRP's 1995 greatest-hits compilation, aptly titled Collection. The band is ... see all copies from $7.07! new only from $8.66!
22 view cover	Shades (1986) more music like this by Yellowjackets The Yellowjackets are a jazz band for the Windham Hill set: i.e., smooth and relaxing rather than edgy and stimulating. If Shades goes down like straight sugar (and not the lumpy kind), it's supposed to. Since some folks are naturally drawn to this type of music and others are not, an appreciation for jazz is not enough -- you'll need an ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.98!
23 view cover	The Spin (1989) more music like this by Yellowjackets Smooth jazz with some rough edges, you can actually sink your teeth into The Spin. Yellowjackets haven't completely taken pop/jazz out of their diet -- Marc Russo's "Blues for Nikki" and Russell Ferrante's "Whistle While You Walk" will skip a little too lightly for some tastes -- but most of the songs find a satisfying midway point between the ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $7.98!
24 view cover	The Best of Yellowjackets (1999) more music like this by Yellowjackets The Yellowjackets began their recording career on the Warner Brothers label in 1981, recording three albums before moving to GRP where the band found commercial success during a ten-year stay. In 1995, they returned to the Warner fold to produce some of their best, maturest music. Dreamland, Blue Hats, and Club Nocturne found the band presenting ... see all copies from $6.80! new only from $9.20!
25 view cover	Mirage a Trois/Club Nocturne (2006) more music like this by The Yellowjackets This two-fer CD combines the Yellowjackets 1985 album Mirage a Trois with Club Nocturne released in 1998. These LPs originally came out on Warner Bros and had been out of print until 2006 when Collectables reissued them. This pleasant set combines smooth jazz and fusion on such group originals as "Pass It On" "Claire's Song," and "Top Secret," and ... see all copies from $10.31! new only from $10.66!
