1	Birth of the Cool (1949) more music like this by Miles Davis So dubbed because these three sessions -- two from early 1949, one from March 1950 -- are where the sound known as cool jazz essentially formed, The Birth of the Cool remains one of the defining, pivotal moments in jazz. This is where the elasticity of bop was married with skillful, big-band arrangements and a relaxed, subdued mood that made it ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $11.04!
2	When I Look in Your Eyes (1998) more music like this by Diana Krall With this CD, the young Canadian singer/pianist/arranger joins forces with producer Tommy LiPuma, who places his orchestral stamp on eight of the 13 tracks. It is the latest attempt to push Krall to an even wider pop/smooth jazz audience than she already enjoys. After all, Nat Cole, Wes Montgomery, and George Benson, among others, went this route. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.37!
3	My Foolish Heart: Live at Montreux (2007) more music like this by Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette My Foolish Heart is an anniversary release celebrating 25 years of the Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette trio's traveling and performing together despite the rich and varied individual careers of its members. Recorded in 2001 at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Jarrett held the tape close to the vest until what he felt was the right time ... see all copies from $24.40! new only from $24.40!
4	The Manhattan Transfer (1975) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer The Manhattan Transfer first came to the general public's attention as a retro act, a nostalgic throwback in a era consumed with nostalgia -- the early/mid-'70s -- and their debut Atlantic album, as well as their 1975 summer replacement TV series, catered unashamedly to that market. As a result, this record seemed old when it came out, and it ... see all copies from $3.55! new only from $9.55!
5	Milestones (1958) more music like this by Miles Davis What is immediately noticeable upon listening to this delicately and superbly remastered version of Miles Davis classic first -- and only -- album with his original sextet is how deep the blues presence is on it. Though it is true that the album's title cut is rightfully credited with introducing modalism into jazz, and defining Davis' music for ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
6	Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This is a delightful Christmas jazz reissue featuring Ella Fitzgerald in prime form. On most selections she is backed by Frank DeVol's orchestra. The original dozen selections have been expanded with the addition of three alternate takes plus three selections only out previously on samplers, including "Christmas Island." Fitzgerald clearly had a ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
7	Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A fitfully entertaining collection of contemporary pop stars interpreting classic Cole Porter songs, Red Hot + Blue highlights include U2, Sinead O'Connor, Kirsty MacColl & the Pogues, Neneh Cherry, and David Byrne, but the best part of the disc is the wonderfully campy duet between Deborah Harry and Iggy Pop on "Well Did You Evah." All Music ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $11.12!
8	Night Train (1962) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Trio Verve's Master Edition of the Oscar Peterson Trio date released as Night Train includes stately covers of blues and R&B standards like "The Honeydripper," "C-Jam Blues," "Georgia on My Mind," "Bags' Groove," "Moten Swing," and "Things Ain't What They Used to Be." Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen provide tight accompaniment, and there are six previously ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $16.57!
9	Conquistador (1977) more music like this by Maynard Ferguson Maynard was shrewd, and Maynard was quick, and he managed to beat almost everyone to the punch -- sorry -- when he recorded the theme from Rocky and watched it rise to number 28 on the pop charts. As blatant as Ferguson's rendition is, it was still the best rendition of the Bill Conti tune at the time (a lot better than the composer's own number ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $5.33!
10	Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane (1957) more music like this by Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane What this disc lacks in program time is more than compensated for in content. While the teaming of Thelonious Monk (piano) with John Coltrane (tenor sax) might "look better on paper," as the adage goes, rest assured the results are even better on the disc. These were the same bountiful sessions that produced the Monk's Music and Thelonious Himself ... see all copies from $5.38! new only from $10.29!
11	M.F. Horn, Vol. 2 (1972) more music like this by Maynard Ferguson During his period on Columbia, Maynard Ferguson showed a willingness (and sometimes even an eagerness) to record pop material. His trumpet playing is frequently brilliant throughout this LP with his English orchestra, but not too many jazz purists will be thrilled with his renditions of "Theme from Shaft," "Spinning Wheel," and "Hey Jude." The ... see all copies from $9.42! new only from $10.72!
12 view cover	Saxophone Colossus (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Sonny Rollins recorded many memorable sessions during 1954-1958, but Saxophone Colossus is arguably his finest all-around set. Joined by pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Max Roach, Rollins debuts and performs the definitive version of "St. Thomas," tears into the chord changes of "Mack the Knife" (here called "Moritat"), ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
13 view cover	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists 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 $25.66! new only from $51.66!
14 view cover	Clifford Brown with Strings (1955) more music like this by Clifford Brown see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.71!
15 view cover	Oscar Peterson Plays the Cole Porter Songbook (1959) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Peterson reworks Cole Porter and says something original and distinctive. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
16 view cover	The Essential Charlie Parker (1992) more music like this by Charlie Parker Another anthology that has less value due to the exploding reissue market. These cuts were among Parker's most influential compositions and performances, but they've been reissued many times, both in anthology packages and on re-releases of their original albums. But it's part of the Essentials sampler line, and if you only want a little Parker, ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
17 view cover	Shearing Piano (1956) more music like this by George Shearing This is one of the earliest releases to feature George Shearing exclusively as a solo pianist, and the CD reissue of the long unavailable LP adds ten previously unissued tracks. He is rather surprisingly low-key on most of these interpretations, even though they are mostly ballads, possibly because of Capitol's original marketing concept. "Stella ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $14.56!
18 view cover	The Christmas Album (1992) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer For their set of Christmas related material, the Manhattan Transfer welcome such guests as trumpeter Jack Sheldon (on "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"), Tony Bennett ("The Christmas Song"), trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and tenor saxophonist Pete Christlieb. With arrangements provided for the backing orchestra by Johnny Mandel on a few ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $5.33!
19 view cover	Brilliant Corners (1956) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Although Brilliant Corners is Thelonious Monk's third disc for Riverside, it's the first on the label to weigh in with such heavy original material. Enthusiasts who become jaded to the idiosyncratic nature of Monk's playing or his practically arithmetical chord progressions should occasionally revisit Brilliant Corners. There is an inescapable ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
20 view cover	Concert by the Sea (1955) more music like this by Erroll Garner Concert by the Sea was arguably the finest record pianist Erroll Garner ever made, and he made many -- a few outstanding -- good recordings. But this live recording (September 19, 1955) with his trio (Eddie Calhoun, bass; Denzil Best, drums) presented a typical Garner program; it was a mixture of originals, show biz, and pop standards delivered ... see all copies from $4.43! new only from $11.06!
21 view cover	USA for Africa: We Are the World (1985) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $61.10!
22 view cover	Clifford Brown & Max Roach (1954) more music like this by Clifford Brown/Max Roach Quintet According to the original 1955 liner notes to Clifford Brown and Max Roach, the announcement that Clifford Brown and Max Roach had begun recording and playing together sent shock waves throughout the jazz community and predictions ran rampant about how the two might shape bop to come. The last duo to really shape the music had begun over ten years ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $16.57!
23 view cover	Jazz Samba Encore! (1963) more music like this by Stan Getz/Luiz Bonfa Here's some more bossa nova from Stan Getz when the bloom was still on the first Brazilian boom. This time, however, on his third such album, Getz relies mostly upon native Brazilians for his backing. Thus, the soft-focused grooves are considerably more attuned to what was actually coming out of Brazil at the time. Two bona fide giants, Antonio ... see all copies from $2.21! new only from $13.71!
24 view cover	The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong (1997) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong The Best of Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong from Verve contains a selection of 15 duets the two jazz legends recorded for the label over the years. Clearly, this set isn't of particular interest to hardcore collectors, since they'll already own much of the material, but as a sampler targeted at casual fans, this is quite nice indeed, since it ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.29!
25 view cover	At the Village Gate (1961) more music like this by Herbie Mann Remarkably few of flutist Herbie Mann's recordings are available on CD, but fortunately this one did get reissued. Mann's hit version of "Comin' Home Baby" from this live set became his first big hit. Composer Ben Tucker plays second bass on that cut, and Mann's other sidemen include vibraphonist Hagood Hardy, bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik, drummer ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.11!
