1	New Moon Daughter (1995) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson 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 $3.50! new only from $11.13!
2	Blue Light 'Til Dawn (1993) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson 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 $2.94! new only from $6.39!
3	The Complete On the Corner Sessions (2007) more music like this by Miles Davis 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 $112.17! new only from $112.17!
4	Forecast: Tomorrow (2006) more music like this by Weather Report 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 $24.19! new only from $41.89!
5	Traveling Miles (1999) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson 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 $4.75! new only from $12.59!
6	Live at Tonic (2006) more music like this by Christian McBride 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 $6.00! new only from $16.40!
7	Standard of Language (2003) more music like this by Kenny Garrett 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 $6.48! new only from $16.85!
8	Blue Skies (1988) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson On 1988's Blue Skies, Cassandra Wilson took her first step away from the home she had built with Steve Coleman's M-Base organization. She'd done standards before, all the way back to 1985's Songbook. There are no M-Base players on this JMT set. She fronts a very conventional trio comprised of pianist Mulgrew Miller, drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, ... see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!
9	Junk Magic (2004) more music like this by Craig Taborn After his tenure with James Carter, many in the stuffed-shirt, ultraconservative world of "mainstream" (not commercial, just boring) neo-and-post-bop societal misanthropes known as jazz purists, had hoped pianist/composer Craig Taborn would become the next rung on the ladder to the past with his virtuosity and taste. Curses, foiled again. On Junk ... see all copies from $15.35! new only from $15.35!
10	Elevator (1999) more music like this by Titan This is unlike anything you've heard before. Mixing techno, retro, surf, dance, lounge, classic rock, and SoCal good times all in feel-good instrumentals, Titan's Elevator offers something you could term Mexican electronica, a daring offering in such tepid musical times. Hailing from Mexico City, the trio, made up of bassist/drummer Jay de le ... see all copies from $1.99!
11 view cover	Peace Time (2007) more music like this by Jack DeJohnette 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 $14.97! new only from $14.97!
12 view cover	The Great Pretender (1981) more music like this by Lester Bowie This is one of trumpeter Lester Bowie's most accessible albums; certainly his brief versions of "It's Howdy Doody Time" and "When the Moon Comes over the Mountain" are not difficult to understand. But actually the bulk of this album is taken up with the 16-minute title cut and a variety of Bowie's colorful originals. The highly expressive ... see all copies from $16.22! new only from $16.22!
13 view cover	The Fire This Time (1992) more music like this by Lester Bowie's Brass Fantasy During this live recording of the Brass Fantasy at The Moonwalker Club in Aarburg, Switzerland, Bowie and his nonet go through many phases of jazz, funk, and progressive music. Old favorites of the Brass Fantasy are complemented by some new material added to the repertoire. Arrangements are assigned to notables such as brother Byron Bowie, Steve ... see all copies from $3.95! new only from $13.33!
14 view cover	Virgin Beauty (1988) more music like this by Ornette Coleman with Prime Time 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 $22.63! new only from $25.87!
15 view cover	Art Metal (2007) more music like this by Jonas Hellborg see all copies from $14.29! new only from $14.29!
16 view cover	New Constellations: Live in Vienna (2007) more music like this by Josh Roseman Considering trombonist Josh Roseman's wildly eclectic jazz and groove résumé (Dave Holland, Dave Douglas, Steve Coleman, Don Byron, Charlie Hunter, Groove Collective), it's not surprising that his burgeoning solo career has been full of unexpected twists and turns that define free jazz for the modern age. Roseman's 2001 debut, Cherry, attempted ... see all copies from $4.88! new only from $14.79!
17 view cover	Point of View (1985) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson Cassandra Wilson's debut as a leader features the chance-taking singer in a funky M-Base setting. The overcrowded ensembles (played by altoist Steve Coleman, trombonist Grachan Moncur III, guitarist Jean-Paul Bourelly, bassist Lonnie Plaxico, and drummer Mark Johnson) did not leave much space for a singer, but the flexible Wilson did her best to ... see all copies from $12.48! new only from $15.50!
18 view cover	She Who Weeps (1990) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson She Who Weeps is a transition set of sorts for Cassandra Wilson. Having had good notices for her Blue Skies album (which found her interpreting standards in a style similar to Betty Carter), Wilson performs "Chelsea Bridge" and "Body and Soul." Most of the other selections still use the free funk rhythms that were a carryover from the singer's ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.52!
19 view cover	After the Beginning Again (1991) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson Recorded in the summer of 1991 in New York City, After the Beginning Again features Cassandra Wilson working with M-Base refugees like pianist James Weidman, and the sort of muted jazz-funk on display here is a far cry from the more bluesy and sparse, atmospheric acoustic touches of her later Blue Note recordings. With her deep, Betty Carter-like ... see all copies from $14.79! new only from $14.79!
20 view cover	Song X [Twentieth Anniversary Edition] (2005) more music like this by Pat Metheny/Ornette Coleman 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 $16.85! new only from $16.85!
21 view cover	Mirakle (2000) more music like this by Derek Bailey/Jamaaladeen Tacuma/Calvin Weston In one of the most unlikely groupings in music history, avant-skronk guitar godfather Derek Bailey teams up with the harmolodic, free funk rhythm section of Jamaaladeen Tacuma and Calvin Weston. Weston and Tacuma have been the anchor for Ornette Coleman, James Blood Ulmer, and James Carter's first electric album; Weston has been a member of the ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
22 view cover	Memphis Blood: The Sun Sessions (2001) more music like this by James Blood Ulmer Over three days in April 2001, James "Blood" Ulmer and producer/guitarist Vernon Reid (yes, of Living Colour fame) went into the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis and kicked out some of the greasiest, knottiest, most surreal blues music ever. The blues have always been part of Ulmer's iconography, even when deeply entrenched in the harmolodic ... see all copies from $10.87! new only from $10.87!
23 view cover	Motherland Pulse (1985) more music like this by Steve Coleman Steve Coleman's debut recording as a leader was the beginning of the documentation of his M-Base music on record. Coleman teams up with some of his top associates of the era, including pianist Geri Allen, bassist Lonnie Plaxico, and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith; plus, there are guest appearances by Cassandra Wilson (who sings on "No Good Time ... see all copies from $14.79! new only from $14.79!
24 view cover	Red Warrior (1990) more music like this by Ronald Shannon Jackson Forsaking the keyboard and saxophone lineups of many of his Decoding Society bands, composer/drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson uses a three-guitar and two-bass group on Red Warrior, creating a dense musical backdrop for his inspired arrangements. The "stripped down" band configuration is reflected in the loose, jam session feel of the record, which, ... see all copies from $10.59! new only from $24.15!
25 view cover	Sax Education (2004) more music like this by James Chance Sax Education gathers 12 tracks culled from James Chance's late-'70s and early-'80s albums on ZE and Animal, Buy the Contortions, Off White, Sax Maniac, and Flaming Demonics. These essential selections were chosen by Chance himself and are highly recommended to casual fans. For the dedicated fanatic, the real treat is the bonus disc that captures ... see all copies from $10.15! new only from $10.15!
