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 $4.65! new only from $9.00!
2	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 $7.70! new only from $10.48!
3	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 $8.70! new only from $8.70!
4	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 $9.77! new only from $15.44!
5	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 $51.13! new only from $51.13!
6	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 $4.99! new only from $11.58!
7	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 $5.49!
8	Django [Prestige] (1953) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet add to wishlist Hailing from a trio of Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) sessions, Django (1955) contains some of the earliest sides that Milt Jackson (vibraphone), John Lewis (piano), Percy Heath (bass) and Kenny Clarke (drums) recorded for Prestige Records. Initially, the combo was part of Dizzy Gillespie's influential backing band and after a change in drummers (to ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $9.18!
9	Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus (1960) more music like this by Charles Mingus add to wishlist Charles Mingus has a fascinating way of offering music that is grounded in tradition while remaining startlingly original. The freshness of a disc like Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus, has the effect of rendering much of what passes for jazz as tedious. The band is small for Mingus, and includes Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone and bass ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $9.11!
10	Karma (1969) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders add to wishlist Pharoah Sanders' third album as a leader is the one that defines him as a musician to the present day. After the death of Coltrane, while there were many seeking to make a spiritual music that encompassed his ideas and yearnings while moving forward, no one came up with the goods until Sanders on this 1969 date. There are only two tracks on Karma, ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $12.02!
11 view cover	A Love Supreme [2002 Deluxe Edition] (2002) more music like this by John Coltrane add to wishlist Inevitably, certain jazz titles will be reissued over and over. Miles Davis' seminal Kind of Blue has been reissued many times, and you can safely assume that A Love Supreme will continue to be a decent seller (by jazz standards) as long as it keeps getting reissued. What separates this deluxe 2002 reissue of the John Coltrane classic from all of ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $13.95!
12 view cover	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 $5.74! new only from $15.40!
13 view cover	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 $9.99! new only from $12.47!
14 view cover	The Best of Play Bach (1990) more music like this by Jacques Loussier add to wishlist Jacques Loussier came up with his Play Bach jazz conceptions while still in the conservatory around 1950. He started recording them in 1959, and he's been at it ever since, adapting other classical composers along the way, but always returning to Bach. It made sense then, and it makes sense now, for Bach's linear, continuo-driven, contrapuntal ... see all copies from $9.22! new only from $9.22!
15 view cover	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 $2.99! new only from $9.99!
16 view cover	Metheny Mehldau (2006) more music like this by Pat Metheny/Brad Mehldau add to wishlist The collaboration between Pat Metheny and Brad Mehldau is something that must have been written in the stars. Fans of both men have wondered if it would ever take place, and the end result on the Nonesuch release of Metheny Mehldau is the confirmation that it was destined. Hyperbole? Put it on and listen before you offer that remark seriously. Of ... see all copies from $16.85! new only from $16.85!
17 view cover	Art Metal (2007) more music like this by Jonas Hellborg add to wishlist see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
18 view cover	Shakill's Warrior (1991) more music like this by David Murray add to wishlist Tenor saxophonist David Murray has recorded so many CDs during the past 20 years that it is difficult to keep up with them. This one finds him in mostly restrained form, updating the tenor/organ soul jazz tradition with Don Pullen (who sticks exclusively to organ), guitarist Stanley Franks and drummer Andrew Cyrille. The music, with the exception ... see all copies from $39.99!
19 view cover	Corridors & Parallels (2001) more music like this by David S. Ware Quartet add to wishlist Now that David S. Ware seems removed from his relationship with Columbia Records, he turns in his most surprisingly inspired record thus far. Its not that one would expect Corridors & Parallels to be anything less than inspired -- as his tone is of the highest spiritual order. With that said, his last studio outing, Surrendered, was a tad on the ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
20 view cover	Shamballa (1993) more music like this by William Hooker add to wishlist see all copies from $7.99! new only from $7.99!
21 view cover	China Exchange (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $5.98! new only from $5.98!
22 view cover	Third Stream Music (1957) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet add to wishlist This Atlantic release has some unusual performances by the Modern Jazz Quartet. Two selections ("Da Capo" and "Fine") combine the MJQ, which is comprised of vibraphonist Milt Jackson, pianist John Lewis, bassist Percy Heath, and drummer Connie Kay, with the Jimmy Giuffre 3 (Giuffre on clarinet and tenor, with guitarist Jim Hall and bassist Ralph ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $11.62!
23 view cover	Blues on Bach (1973) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet add to wishlist This album has an interesting concept, alternating four original blues with five adaptations of melodies from classical works by Bach. The Modern Jazz Quartet had long been quite adept in both areas, and despite a certain lack of variety on this set (alternating back and forth between the two styles somewhat predictably), the music is largely ... see all copies from $4.75! new only from $4.75!
24 view cover	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 $3.52! new only from $6.93!
25 view cover	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 $2.99! new only from $5.80!
