1	A Love Supreme (1964) more music like this by John Coltrane add to wishlist Easily one of the most important records ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was his pinnacle studio outing that at once compiled all of his innovations from his past, spoke of his current deep spirituality, and also gave a glimpse into the next two and a half years (sadly, those would be his last). Recorded at the end of 1964, Trane's ... see all copies from $3.52! new only from $4.46!
2	The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959) more music like this by Ornette Coleman add to wishlist Ornette Coleman's Atlantic debut, The Shape of Jazz to Come, was a watershed event in the genesis of avant-garde jazz, profoundly steering its future course and throwing down a gauntlet that some still haven't come to grips with. The record shattered traditional concepts of harmony in jazz, getting rid of not only the piano player but the whole ... see all copies from $9.89! new only from $9.89!
3	The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (1963) more music like this by Charles Mingus add to wishlist The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is one of the greatest achievements in orchestration by any composer in jazz history. Charles Mingus consciously designed the six-part ballet as his magnum opus, and -- implied in his famous inclusion of liner notes by his psychologist -- it's as much an examination of his own tortured psyche as it is a ... see all copies from $12.40! new only from $14.38!
4	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $51.23! new only from $51.23!
5	Out to Lunch (1964) more music like this by Eric Dolphy add to wishlist Out to Lunch stands as Eric Dolphy's magnum opus, an absolute pinnacle of avant-garde jazz in any form or era. Its rhythmic complexity was perhaps unrivaled since Dave Brubeck's Time Out, and its five Dolphy originals -- the jarring Monk tribute "Hat and Beard," the aptly titled "Something Sweet, Something Tender," the weirdly jaunty flute ... see all copies from $4.86! new only from $7.96!
6	Nightmoves (2007) more music like this by Kurt Elling add to wishlist When Kurt Elling issued Man in the Air on the Blue Note label in 2003, it showcased his expansive, dream-weaving stage persona, though the album was recorded in the studio. Nightmoves arrives at a time when Elling has left Blue Note for the hopefully greener pastures of the Concord kingdom, and has been both directing and hosting festivals while ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
7	Traveling Miles (1999) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson add to wishlist Cassandra Wilson has made another album that will stun and surprise listeners. Traveling Miles takes its cue from the wealth of music from the late Miles Davis. Wilson has taken liberties to do whatever she pleases with Davis' music -- her added lyrics and vocal touches to some of Davis' more famous tunes, interspersed with Wilson's own ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.06!
8	The Köln Concert (1975) more music like this by Keith Jarrett add to wishlist Recorded in 1975 at the Köln Opera House and released the same year, this disc has, along with its revelatory music, some attendant cultural baggage that is unfair in one sense: Every pot-smoking and dazed and confused college kid -- and a few of the more sophisticated ones in high school -- owned this as one of the truly classic jazz records, ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $13.99!
9	New Moon Daughter (1995) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson add to wishlist Singer Cassandra Wilson, who has had a rather diverse career that has ranged from the free funk of M-Base to standards à la Betty Carter, has in recent times adopted a folk-oriented style a little reminiscent of Nina Simone. On New Moon Daughter her repertoire ranges from U2 to Son House, from Hoagy Carmichael to Hank Williams ("I'm So Lonesome I ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.20!
10	Beyond the Missouri Sky (Short Stories) (1996) more music like this by Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny add to wishlist Charlie Haden and Pat Metheny have been good friends since the 1970s, so it comes as a bit of a surprise that Beyond the Missouri Sky should be their first duet album together. Both musicians are from small towns in Missouri, which leads Metheny to speculate in the liner notes if this similarity of childhood ambience might have something to do ... see all copies from $2.55! new only from $11.49!
11	Naked City (1989) more music like this by John Zorn add to wishlist The violent cover photo (which shows a man after he was shot dead) sets the stage for the rather passionate music on this John Zorn set. With guitarist Bill Frisell, keyboardist Wayne Horvitz, bassist Fred Frith, drummer Joey Baron, and guest vocalist Yamatsuka Eye making intense contributions, altoist Zorn performs his unpredictable originals, ... see all copies from $8.14! new only from $12.72!
12	Time Lines (2006) more music like this by Andrew Hill add to wishlist Andrew Hill has been, in the gentlest of cases, an idiosyncratic player, composer, and bandleader. But often, reviews of his work have been quite strident and refer to him as an iconoclast. That's okay; some critics thought of Monk and Herbie Nichols that way, too. Time Lines has Hill back -- for the third time in his long career -- with Blue Note ... see all copies from $11.14! new only from $14.58!
13	Stellar Regions (1967) more music like this by John Coltrane add to wishlist This is a major set, "new" music from John Coltrane that was recorded February 15, 1967, (five months before his death) but not released for the first time until 1995. One of several "lost" sessions that were stored by Alice Coltrane for decades, only one selection ("Offering" which was on Expression) among the eight numbers and three alternates ... see all copies from $12.51! new only from $12.51!
14	Maiden Voyage [Jamey Aebersold] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $15.06! new only from $15.06!
15	A New Approach to Jazz Improvisation (1978) more music like this by Jamey Aebersold add to wishlist see all copies from $15.00! new only from $15.06!
16	Miles Ahead (1957) more music like this by Miles Davis add to wishlist This album is perhaps most significant for the process it set in motion -- the collaboration between Gil Evans and Miles Davis that would produce Porgy and Bess and Sketches of Spain, two of Davis' best albums. That said, this album is a miracle in itself, the result of a big gamble on the part of Columbia Records, who put together Evans and Davis ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.06!
17	Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux (1991) more music like this by Miles Davis/Quincy Jones add to wishlist Although Miles Davis did not live to participate in Gerry Mulligan's reunion recordings featuring the nonet that played on the famous late-'40s and early-'50s cool sessions, he participated in a reunion concert held at Montreux in 1991. This featured both the Gil Evans Orchestra and George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band, plus additional guests Benny ... see all copies from $2.49! new only from $5.44!
18	This Is Our Music (1960) more music like this by Ornette Coleman add to wishlist With two landmark albums already under its belt, the Ornette Coleman Quartet spent nearly a year out of the studio before reconvening for This Is Our Music. This time, Billy Higgins is replaced on drums by Ed Blackwell, who has a similar knack for anticipating the ensemble's direction, and proves a more fiery presence on tracks like "Kaleidoscope" ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
19	Finding Forrester (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack add to wishlist The original soundtrack to Finding Forrester, Gus Van Sant's other uplifting mentor/student drama, features a compelling mix of '60s and '70s works from Miles Davis and Ornette Coleman and an original score by Bill Frisell. Davis' "Recollection" and "Little Church" provide two of the album's more reflective moments, while his "Black Satin" and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.95!
20	The Way Up (2005) more music like this by Pat Metheny Group add to wishlist The Way Up is the Pat Metheny Group's debut offering for Nonesuch Records. Comprised of a single, sprawling, 68-minute composition by Metheny and Lyle Mays -- divided into four sections on CD -- it is an unprecedented new direction for the band. The lineup is the same as on Speak of Now from 2003 -- Metheny and Mays on keyboards, bassist Steve ... see all copies from $12.72! new only from $12.72!
21	In a Silent Way (1969) more music like this by Miles Davis add to wishlist Listening to Miles Davis' originally released version of In a Silent Way in light of the complete sessions released by Sony in 2001 (Columbia Legacy 65362) reveals just how strategic and dramatic a studio construction it was. If one listens to Joe Zawinul's original version of "In a Silent Way," it comes across as almost a folk song with a very ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.27!
22	My Favorite Things (1960) more music like this by John Coltrane add to wishlist Although seemingly impossible to comprehend, this landmark jazz recording was made in less than three days. All the more remarkable is that the same sessions which yielded My Favorite Things would also inform a majority of the albums Coltrane Plays the Blues, Coltrane's Sound, and Coltrane Legacy. It is easy to understand the appeal that these ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.65!
23	Blue Light 'Til Dawn (1993) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson add to wishlist Cassandra Wilson has steadfastly refused to be pigeonholed or confined to any stylistic formula. Her highly anticipated Blue Note debut may stir renewed controversy, as she is once again all over the place. She begins the set with her intriguing version of "You Don't Know What Love Is." Then she moves from two Robert Johnson covers ("Come on in My ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $7.96!
24	Nefertiti (1967) more music like this by Miles Davis add to wishlist Nefertiti, the fourth album by Miles Davis' second classic quintet, continues the forward motion of Sorcerer, as the group settles into a low-key, exploratory groove, offering music with recognizable themes -- but themes that were deliberately dissonant, slightly unsettling even as they burrowed their way into the consciousness. In a sense, this ... see all copies from $5.50! new only from $5.76!
25	Jazzy Wonderland (1990) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This Christmas jazz CD contains 14 performances, a dozen of them not available on other sets. The two exceptions are Tony Bennett's 1987 "White Christmas" (which contains one of tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon's last recordings, a brief and weak statement) and Wynton Marsalis's "Winter Wonderland." Other musicians who are featured include Harry ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.69!
