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 $9.00!
3	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 $7.77!
4	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 $16.59!
5	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 $9.50!
6	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 $7.95! new only from $16.85!
7	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 $114.70! new only from $114.70!
8	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 $14.79!
9	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! new only from $5.70!
10	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 $27.39! new only from $42.60!
11 view cover	Soul Exorcism Redux (2007) more music like this by James Chance and the Contortions Recorded in June of 1980, Soul Exorcism proves that jazz, funk, experimental, and new wave make quite an intoxicating mix when perfected. James Chance sums up the proceedings perfectly in the liner notes, where he states that the music perfectly reveals the essence and soul of New York City (even though it was recorded in Rotterdam). Backed up by ... see all copies from $13.70! new only from $13.70!
12 view cover	Renaissance Man (1983) more music like this by Jamaaladeen Tacuma Jamaaladeen Tacuma's second free funk effort for Gramavision is almost the equal of his first (Show Stopper). Once again the first four songs feature his regular band (a quintet with guitarist Rick Iannacone and altoist James Watkins) while the second half of the program showcases his electric bass in diverse groups. "Dancing in Your Head" has ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
13 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 $5.10! new only from $9.77!
14 view cover	Art Metal (2007) more music like this by Jonas Hellborg see all copies from $14.29! new only from $14.29!
15 view cover	At the Center (2005) more music like this by Meat Beat Manifesto Jazz composer/arranger/theorist George Russell used to explain his piece "Dimensions" as "a sequence of freely associated moods indigenous to jazz." Same could be said about At the Center but this time the person doing the free associating doesn't come from the world of jazz, at least not as far as his previous records have let on. As Meat Beat ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
16 view cover	Dancing in Your Head (1973) more music like this by Ornette Coleman Following the symphonic explorations of 1972's Skies of America, Ornette Coleman became fascinated with the music of Morocco. Dancing in Your Head is the chaotic result of that experimental period with the formation of Prime Time. "Theme From a Symphony" (Variation One and Two) is a 27-minute dervish whirlwind mixed with funk. This was the first ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
17 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 $29.95!
18 view cover	Art Forum (1996) more music like this by Greg Osby Greg Osby, who has recorded in a variety of settings (sometimes using hip-hop rhythms and rap), sticks to acoustic jazz on this relaxed, dry and often melancholy set, performing seven originals and two standards. In addition to the basic quartet/quintet (which sometimes utilizes the vibes of Bryant Carrott), five other musicians (most notably the ... see all copies from $35.00!
19 view cover	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 $13.91! new only from $13.91!
20 view cover	Complete Science Fiction Sessions (2000) more music like this by Ornette Coleman 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 $22.14! new only from $22.14!
21 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!
22 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!
23 view cover	The Golden Palominos (1983) more music like this by The Golden Palominos The first effort from Anton Fier's revolving-door band is the record which most reflects the group's downtown New York origins. Recalling the avant-funk of Material, The Golden Palominos spotlights a core roster of Fier, guitarists Arto Lindsay and Fred Frith, bassist Bill Laswell, and multi-instrumentalist John Zorn; the music is wildly ... see all copies from $6.91! new only from $6.91!
24 view cover	The Coalition of the Willing (2006) more music like this by Bobby Previte Bobby Previte has been full of surprises during his long and quirky career as a musician's musician. Whether playing swing, hard bop, or vanguard free jazz, or playing electronic drums and keyboards in space-age jams with Charlie Hunter, he's never failed to ignite whatever project he's been part of. Coalition of the Willing is a different animal ... see all copies from $15.19! new only from $15.19!
25 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 $19.99!
