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 $1.99! new only from $6.97!
2	Reimagining (2005) more music like this by Vijay Iyer A decade into his recording career, pianist/composer/bandleader Vijay Iyer is still a startlingly original voice in jazz. His dense and often knotty harmonic conceptions and his modal approach to melodic invention are idiosyncratic yet wonderfully accessible to listeners; his rhythmic conceptions are unusual, yet always swing, and his ... see all copies from $11.98! new only from $17.09!
3	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 $1.99! new only from $9.00!
4	Jazzy Wonderland (1990) more music like this by Various Artists This Christmas jazz CD contains 14 performances, a dozen of them not available on other sets. The two exceptions are Tony Bennett's 1987 "White Christmas" (which contains one of tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon's last recordings, a brief and weak statement) and Wynton Marsalis's "Winter Wonderland." Other musicians who are featured include Harry ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
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 $1.99! new only from $14.78!
6	Soundbombing, Vol. 3 (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Like soul music in the '60s and '70s, rap is full of regional styles. In classic soul, it is easy to tell a Memphis sound from a Philly or Detroit sound -- similarly, rappers from the West Coast, the Northeast, and the South tend to have different ways of flowing. Released in 2002, Vol. 3 of Rawkus' rap-oriented Soundbombing series is heavily ... see all copies from $2.21! new only from $2.21!
7	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 $2.64! new only from $2.64!
8	Till We Have Faces (1992) more music like this by Gary Thomas 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 $4.69! new only from $14.19!
9	My Funny Valentine: The Rodgers & Hart Songbook (1993) more music like this by Various Artists One of the choicest of Verve's many venerable songbook releases, My Funny Valentine spotlights some of the jazz canon's best moments in song; and how could it be otherwise, considering the program features the core of Rodgers & Hart's monumental song canon? That's why it's an all-star affair, with such singing royalty as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah ... see all copies from $2.97! new only from $13.78!
10	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 $6.30! new only from $14.19!
11 view cover	A Fine Romance: Jerome Kern Songbook (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Dipping into its stable of fine singers and previously issued albums, Verve Records has come up with another composer tribute disc, this time honoring master lyricist, Jerome Kern. The results of collaborations, not only with Oscar Hammerstein, II, but with Dorothy Field, Otto Harbach, Johnny Mercer, Jimmy McHugh, and others are included within ... see all copies from $3.20! new only from $13.91!
12 view cover	Unicity (2006) more music like this by Edward Simon While a sideman with the inimitable Terence Blanchard, pianist/composer Edward Simon released a series of recorded ensemble works, including La Bikina and Afinidad, which impressed upon his listeners his sense of swing, melodic structure, and harmonic balance. Later, with drummer Eric Harland and bassist John Patitucci, Simon released The Process, ... see all copies from $12.29! new only from $14.69!
13 view cover	World Expansion (1986) more music like this by Steve Coleman & The Five Elements W/ Geri Allen (k) and Robin Eubanks (tb). Not his jazziest release, but a lot of good clean funk. Michael Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.59! new only from $14.19!
14 view cover	Cuba: I Am Time (1997) more music like this by Various Artists For such a small island, Cuba has had an enormous musical impact both inside and outside of Latin America. Salsa is the music of choice among Cubans and Puerto Ricans, and Afro-Cuban music has influenced everyone from American jazz players to Dominican merengue artists to Spanish "nuevo flamenco" stars. A four-CD box set, Cuba: I Am Time ... see all copies from $48.43! new only from $49.16!
15 view cover	Ritualism (2001) more music like this by David Gilmore After years of sideman work with Steve Coleman, Don Byron, and many others, guitarist David Gilmore makes a bold and beautiful statement with his long-awaited solo debut, Ritualism. At the core of the project is a high-octane quartet, with Gilmore, George Colligan on piano and keyboards, Brad Jones on double bass, and Rodney Holmes on drums. The ... see all copies from $12.25! new only from $13.87!
16 view cover	Raw Materials (2006) more music like this by Vijay Iyer/Rudresh Mahanthappa While performing in many other ensemble settings and building successful solo careers, Vijay Iyer and Rudresh Mahanthappa are young innovators -- who share both Indian ancestry and a New York jazz sensibility -- who have been touring the world as a duo for over ten years, performing at the North Sea Jazz Festival, the San Francisco Jazz Festival, ... see all copies from $14.61! new only from $16.52!
17 view cover	3-D Lifestyles (1993) more music like this by Greg Osby 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 $2.99!
18 view cover	The Sign and the Seal: Transmissions of the Metaphysics of a Culture (1997) more music like this by Steve Coleman & the Mystic Rhythm Society In January of 1996, Steve Coleman took his 11-piece Mystic Rhythm Society to Cuba to explore the music and culture of various traditions that have their origins in West Africa. Coleman and his band hooked up with AfroCuba de Matanzas, a Cuban group of percussionists, dancers, and singers, and after a week and a half of rehearsals, performed ... see all copies from $3.74!
19 view cover	Smooth Elements: Smooth Jazz Plays the Songs of Earth, Wind & Fire (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.14! new only from $16.21!
20 view cover	The Tao of Mad Phat: Fringe Zones (1993) more music like this by Steve Coleman & the Five Elements Steve Coleman's achievement in creating a musical environment for serious improvising that sets aside acoustic, swing-based rhythms for electric, funk-influenced ones that don't fall prey to repetitive fusion formulas is one of the great creative accomplishments in jazz over the last 20 years. The Tao of Mad Phat, recorded live in the studio ... see all copies from $9.94!
21 view cover	Primal Blue (1995) more music like this by Kenny Burrell/Ron Carter/Tim Hagans/Craig Handy/Cedar Walton/Lenny White From the 1940s to the 1960s, it was not uncommon for a small record company such as Blue Note, Prestige, or Riverside to assemble a group of jazz musicians for a blowing session and release the results under the name of one of them (and perhaps reissue it under another name if one of the others became more famous later). The same thing seems to ... see all copies from $7.57! new only from $11.21!
