1	Traveling Miles (1999) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson add to wishlist see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.49!
2	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 $2.74!
3	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 $1.99! new only from $7.96!
4	Till We Have Faces (1993) more music like this by Gary Thomas add to wishlist Saxophonist Gary Thomas' records have been nothing if not provocative. This set, a collection of jazz and pop standards radically reharmonized and annotated rhythmically, is no exception. Thomas assembles a stellar cast on this outing, including guitarist Pat Metheny, pianist Tim Murphy, alternating bassists Anthony Cox and Ed Howard, drummer ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.19!
5	3-D Lifestyles (1993) more music like this by Greg Osby add to wishlist Greg Osby is a hugely talented altoist but this attempted mixture of rap and jazz is a disaster. Not only does rap that is filled with meaningless name dropping and profanity plague all but one selection, but Osby's alto sounds like an anemic version of Sadao Watanabe. The monotone delivery of the rappers is extremely annoying to hear as is the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.50!
6	Up All Night (2003) more music like this by John Scofield Band add to wishlist It isn't surprising that John Scofield spent some time in Miles Davis' employ. Like that innovative trumpeter, Scofield has always had a restless spirit. One never knows what to expect when a new Scofield album arrives; Up All Night, it turns out, pretty much picks up where its predecessor, Überjam, leaves off. Like Überjam, Up All Night is a ... see all copies from $4.50! new only from $12.72!
7	Song X [Twentieth Anniversary Edition] (1985) more music like this by Pat Metheny & Ornette Coleman add to wishlist Released in 1985, Song X was Pat Metheny's first recording for the Geffen label. After a prosperous career with ECM, Metheny realized a lifelong dream by collaborating with Ornette Coleman. (He had previously collaborated with both bassist Charlie Haden (an Ornette alumnus), and drummer Jack DeJohnette. A second drummer, Denardo Coleman, was added ... see all copies from $9.54! new only from $16.52!
8	Live at Tonic (2006) more music like this by Christian McBride add to wishlist When bassist Christian McBride first emerged on the jazz scene, he was a youthful phenomenon who seemed set to follow in the footsteps of his early inspiration, Ray Brown. However, McBride has too much talent to merely want to be a copy of the past and, although he can swing as hard as any bebop bassist, his interests go beyond straight-ahead jazz ... see all copies from $16.03! new only from $16.03!
9	Live at Georgia Theatre (2004) more music like this by The Derek Trucks Band add to wishlist Derek Trucks is a world-class slide guitarist, still only 24 at the time of this recording. Most know him as a guitarist with the Allman Brothers Band. But here, with a smoking group of collaborators, he plays an incendiary, soulful, and wildly adventurous set that challenges all the accepted rock paradigms. This is the record to turn the heads of ... see all copies from $14.24! new only from $14.24!
10	Complete Science Fiction Sessions (2000) more music like this by Ornette Coleman add to wishlist Finally, on a pair of CDs in one collection are the rest of Ornette Coleman's Columbia recordings, all of them done before Skies of America. Science Fiction was a regular part of Columbia's jazz catalogue, and Broken Shadows was released on LP in 1982. On this double set, both of those records and three previously unreleased cuts from those ... see all copies from $12.49! new only from $15.32!
11	I've Known Rivers and Other Bodies (1973) more music like this by Gary Bartz Ntu Troop add to wishlist One of the most talented and hard working musicians of the 1970s, Gary Bartz appeared with almost every group vital to the fusion of modern contemporary soul music and jazz. From his experiences with the Miles Davis groups of the early '70s, Bartz rose with confidence to the forefront of the jazz movement, releasing one stellar recording after the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.60!
12	Forecast: Tomorrow (2006) more music like this by Weather Report add to wishlist In an era when box sets are so plentiful and are basically de rigueur for any major, and some not so major labels, it's virtually a wonder that a Weather Report box set didn't appear until the 21st century. Things take as long as they must, evidently, and Legacy has done an outstanding job with this set. Consisting of three CDs and a DVD of a ... see all copies from $29.69! new only from $29.69!
13	Live (1991) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson add to wishlist Singer Cassandra Wilson was still searching for her own style during the time of this live concert. Accompanied by keyboardist James Weidman, electric bassist Kevin Bruce Harris and drummer Mark Johnson, Wilson performs four of her originals (none of which are too memorable), Steve Coleman's "Desperate Move" and a couple of standards ("'Round ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $16.21!
14	The Great Pretender (1981) more music like this by Lester Bowie add to wishlist Lester Bowie's projects apart from the Art Ensemble of Chicago tread a high wire between challenging improvised music and R&B-pop. This seeming dichotomy purports a universally appealing sound close to selling out, but speaks more to the whimsy and farcical elements Bowie sees in the hypocrisy of life. The Great Pretender is a perfect title for ... see all copies from $8.07! new only from $8.07!
15	Peace Time (2007) more music like this by Jack DeJohnette add to wishlist Jack DeJohnette's follow-up recording to Music in the Key of Om is a similarly meditative effort where he plays all the instruments, assumedly overdubbed, creating a wash of ambient ritual sound texts in a single continuous piece running over 60 minutes. His powerful kit drumming is edited as hands on skins, steadily paced cymbal pulses, tabla ... see all copies from $6.89! new only from $14.78!
16	Standard of Language (2003) more music like this by Kenny Garrett add to wishlist While his alto saxophone playing has drawn comparisons to Charlie Parker and his soprano sax style to the great John Coltrane, Kenny Garrett's actual musical voice has been described as intense, straight-ahead swing- and funk-flavored hard bop and free jazz. On Standard of Language, the multi-Grammy nominee brings a muscular yet lyrical eloquence ... see all copies from $11.08! new only from $11.08!
17	Anthology V.2 (Capricorn Years) (2005) more music like this by Eddie Henderson add to wishlist Although the electric Herbie Hancock Sextet (and septet) left only a slim three-album discography on Warner Bros. and Columbia, you can expand it considerably by adding Anthology, Vol. 2: The Capricorn Years, a 2005 single-disc comp from the British Soul Brother label that combines two LPs Eddie Henderson made in the early '70s as a leader on ... see all copies from $17.99! new only from $17.99!
18	Virgin Beauty (1988) more music like this by Ornette Coleman with Prime Time add to wishlist This CD is often quite exciting, if a bit messy. Ornette Coleman (on alto, trumpet and violin) is heard with his "double quartet" Prime Time, which at the time was comprised of guitarists Bern Nix and Charlie Ellerbee, electric bassists Al MacDowell and Chris Walker, and drummers Denardo Coleman (who also plays some keyboards) and Calvin Weston. ... see all copies from $13.95! new only from $69.88!
19	Atmos (1992) more music like this by Miroslav Vitous/Jan Garbarek add to wishlist Bassist Miroslav Vitous and Jan Garbarek (on soprano and tenor) are featured throughout this ECM CD on a set of introspective duets. Garbarek does emit some passion on soprano and Vitous augments the music at times with some percussive sounds made by hitting his bass; once in awhile he also adds brief samples from what he calls "the Miroslav ... see all copies from $16.58! new only from $16.58!
20	I Only Have Eyes for You (1985) more music like this by Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy add to wishlist The debut by Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy (an octet consisting of four trumpets, both Craig Harris and Steve Turre on trombones, the French horn of Vincent Chancey, Bob Stewart on tuba and drummer Phillip Wilson) is one of their best recordings. Rather than playing their interpretations of pop tunes (which would be the direction Brass Fantasy ... see all copies from $8.00!
21	America: Do You Remember the Love? (1986) more music like this by James Blood Ulmer add to wishlist An odd but very effective album, this release under Ulmer's name could almost have been issued under Bill Laswell's, so strong is the producer's (and bassist's) presence. With Ronald Shannon Jackson in tow alongside Laswell stable regular Nicky Skopelitis, this sounds more than a little like several of Laswell's late-'80s multicultural discs. The ... see all copies from $10.00!
22	Genesis/The Opening of the Way (1998) more music like this by Steve Coleman add to wishlist Genesis & the Opening of the Way is an ambitious effort from Steve Coleman, a double-disc concept album that was recorded by two separate bands: the Council of Balance and Five Elements. The Council of Balance was the large group, featuring a full horn section, guitar, bass, cello, violin, vello, aiola and percussion; the Five Elements is a small ... see all copies from $18.99!
23	Lounge-A-Palooza (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Lounge-A-Palooza combines several of the most irritating trends in '90s alternative rock in one convenient package. There's the kitschy cocktail revival, the smug humor of smirk-rock, and the pounding guitars of grunge. It's a collection that combines alt-rock covers by MOR pop bands -- like Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme singing Soundgarden's ... see all copies from $2.80! new only from $49.95!
24	James White's Flaming Demonics (1983) more music like this by James White & The Blacks add to wishlist Flaming Demonics, James Chance's fourth album (and the third released under the James White moniker) continues the pattern set by his previous release, Sax Maniac. Overlaying brutally dissonant, atonal sax solos over spare, minimal funk-derived music, White constructed an unusual, groundbreaking sound. The album certainly won't win over all but ... see all copies from $55.67!
25	The Complete On the Corner Sessions (2007) more music like this by Miles Davis add to wishlist From the opening four notes of Michael Henderson's hypnotically minimal bass that open the unedited master of "On the Corner," answered a few seconds later by the swirl of color, texture, and above all rhythm, it becomes a immediately apparent that Miles Davis had left the jazz world he helped to invent -- forever. The 19-minute-and-25-second ... see all copies from $126.63! new only from $126.63!
