1	Cornell 1964 (2007) more music like this by Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy In 2005, Blue Note raised the eyebrows (and expectations) of the jazz world by issuing the previously unreleased Thelonious Monk/John Coltrane Carnegie Hall concert from November of 1957 that literally replaces the few other recordings of the group both sonically and musically. In 2007, courtesy of Charles Mingus' widow Sue, with the help of ... see all copies from $13.86! new only from $13.86!
2	The Futuristic Sounds of Sun Ra (1961) more music like this by Sun Ra Sun Ra's only release for the Savoy label is a gem. Recorded in October of 1961, this is probably the first recording the Arkestra made after arriving in New York. As such, you're dealing with a smallish Arkestra (seven main instrumentalists, joined by vocalist Ricky Murray on "China Gate") that's still playing the boppish, highly arranged music ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!
3	Looking Ahead (1960) more music like this by Ken McIntyre and Eric Dolphy It was quite fitting that Ken McIntyre had an opportunity to record in a quintet with Eric Dolphy, for his multi-instrumental approach was similar to Dolphy's, although he always had a very different sound. On this CD reissue, McIntyre plays alto on four tunes and flute on two others (his work on bassoon, oboe, and bass clarinet would come ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
4	The Contemporary Records Story (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Usually, jazz label retrospectives -- particularly those issued as multiple-disc boxes -- are very mixed affairs. At least with one disc the listener knows upfront that there is a boatload of stuff missing. But these affairs can be wrenching exercises for jazz fans because of idiosyncratic, subjective selection by producers. The four-disc ... see all copies from $41.43! new only from $41.43!
5	Of Course, Of Course (1965) more music like this by Charles Lloyd Charles Lloyd's second album as a leader teams him with guitarist Gabor Szabo (his old friend from the Chico Hamilton group), bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony Williams. Although Lloyd was still a member of Cannonball Adderley's group, his playing on the set shows that he was clearly ready to become a leader. Seven of the nine diverse ... see all copies from $17.94! new only from $17.94!
6	Session in Paris, Vol. 2: Colour of Dream (1979) more music like this by Masahiko Togashi see all copies from $44.26!
7	The Very Best of Charles Mingus [Rhino] (2008) more music like this by Charles Mingus This 11-cut greatest-hits collection of the recordings of Charles Mingus is simply comprised of what are considered to be his best-known titles recorded for the Atlantic label between 1956 and 1959. The title tune from Pithecanthropus Erectus kicks off the set in grand style with fine solos by Jackie McLean on alto and J.R. Monterose on tenor. It ... see all copies from $11.86! new only from $11.86!
8	Dance of the Living Image (2007) more music like this by Sun Ra This fourth two-CD volume of lost reel-to-reel rehearsal sessions from Sun Ra, done in the vicinity of San Francisco in December of 1974, continues to reveal the inner workings and unpolished, raw dynamics of a band playing with material that in the '70s would garner them an audience unique to jazz, progressive rock, or the then emerging jazz-rock ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
9	Stuttgart Meditations (2007) more music like this by Charles Mingus see all copies from $24.90! new only from $24.90!
10	Time Zones (1977) more music like this by Richard Teitelbaum "With Anthony Braxton" was a credit printed on this album's front and back cover in a typeface only a notch smaller than Richard Teitelbaum's name. Braxton is everywhere here, and has everything to do with this album. He plays in duo with Teitelbaum the electronics maestro on the entire album, and surely engineered the deal to make it possible for ... see all copies from $8.00!
11 view cover	Live at the Bluenote (2008) more music like this by Stan Kenton & His Orchestra These two discs recorded live in England in 1952 and 1953 by the Stan Kenton band are most certainly bootlegs. They sound like radio transcriptions and their aural quality is rather dodgy. No, make that really awful. One can "hear" the rhythm section, but barely, and of course the brass section drowns the rest. The great subtleties in Kenton's ... see all copies from $26.19! new only from $26.19!
12 view cover	Blends (1985) more music like this by Richrd Teitelbaum As the title promises, one of the most perfect blends of world music with Katsuya Yokoyama on shakuhachi, Trilok Gurtu on tabla and other percussion, and Teitelbaum on synthesizer.The score is written in different notations based on Japanese, Indian and American practices. "Blue" Gene Tyranny, All Music Guide see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
13 view cover	Music from Europe (1966) more music like this by Gunter Hampel Group Gunter Hampel's second release as a leader and his only one for ESP has been reissued on CD. Hampel (heard on vibes, bass clarinet and flute) teams up with the many reeds of Willem Breuker (soprano, bass clarinet, tenor, alto, baritone and clarinet), plus bassist Piet Veening and drummer Pierre Courbois during three complex and sometimes eccentric ... see all copies from $15.55! new only from $15.55!
14 view cover	SHQ (1967) more music like this by Karl Velebney An early (1967) example of European free improvisation, Karel Velebney's SHQ on occasion feels a little tentative in comparison to full-on fearless explorations like the work of Peter Brötzmann or Fred Van Hove. Although there are several free passages, especially on the largely solo opener "The Uhu Sleeps Only During the Day," the rhythm section ... see all copies from $15.55! new only from $15.55!
15 view cover	Rumbling (1975) more music like this by Globe Unity Orchestra On its ninth anniversary, a slimmed-down (due to budget constraints only) version of the Globe Unity Orchestra performed at the Berlin Free Music Festival. Ironically enough (since this group was shrunk for the occasion), the fest's theme that year was on the trombone in the context of larger ensembles. It is only fitting, then, that the set ... see all copies from $34.26! new only from $34.26!
16 view cover	Levels and Degrees of Light (1967) more music like this by Muhal Richard Abrams Levels and Degrees of Light was the first recording under Muhal Richard Abrams' name and was a landmark album that launched the first in a long line of beautiful, musical salvos from the AACM toward the mainstream jazz world. The title track finds Abrams broadly tracing out some of the territory he would continue to explore in succeeding decades, ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $10.65!
17 view cover	Compositions (1979) more music like this by Globe Unity Orchestra see all copies from $33.19! new only from $33.19!
18 view cover	The Prestige Christmas Collection (1953) more music like this by Various Artists The ten performances on this CD of Christmas jazz were all previously released, but it makes for a nice collection, even if there are three versions of "The Christmas Song" (by Dexter Gordon, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, and Gene Ammons). Lockjaw and Paul Bley are both heard on renditions of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" while the other five songs are ... see all copies from $9.78! new only from $9.78!
19	Subtle Deceit of the Quick Gloved Hand (1982) more music like this by Bill Smith see all copies from $47.98!
20	Spiritual Nature more music like this by Masahiko Togashi see all copies from $11.31!
21	Things Have Got to Change [Expanded] (2002) more music like this by Archie Shepp/Joe Lee Wilson see all copies from $33.19! new only from $33.19!
22 view cover	Golden Years of the Soviet New Jazz, Vol. 4 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists The final installment in Leo Feigin's four-part, 16-CD series Golden Years of the Soviet New Jazz presents two main differences with previous volumes. First, it is devoted to a single group, the Ganelin Trio and its members Vyacheslav Ganelin, Vladimir Chekasin, and Vladimir Tarasov. Second, of the near five hours of music, only 40 minutes were ... see all copies from $34.39! new only from $34.39!
23 view cover	Bremen to Bridgewater (2004) more music like this by Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath Cuneiform's recent issue of several previously unreleased live recordings from the 1970s editions of the Chris McGregor big band (commencing with the brilliant Travelling Somewhere) has stirred up some powerful memories, especially among Brits and Europeans old enough to have seen the group live. More to the point, it has also served to introduce ... see all copies from $21.18! new only from $21.18!
24 view cover	Total Music Meeting 2002: Audiology, Vol. 2 - 11 Groups Live in Berlin (2003) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $59.11! new only from $59.11!
25 view cover	Kairos (2004) more music like this by Masahiko Togashi/Sato Masahiko see all copies from $37.39! new only from $37.39!
