1	Kind of Blue (1959) more music like this by Miles Davis Kind of Blue isn't merely an artistic highlight for Miles Davis, it's an album that towers above its peers, a record generally considered as the definitive jazz album, a universally acknowledged standard of excellence. Why does Kind of Blue posses such a mystique? Perhaps because this music never flaunts its genius. It lures listeners in with ... see all copies from $5.10! new only from $11.06!
2	A Love Supreme (1964) more music like this by John Coltrane Easily one of the most important records ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was his pinnacle studio outing that at once compiled all of his innovations from his past, spoke of his current deep spirituality, and also gave a glimpse into the next two and a half years (sadly, those would be his last). Recorded at the end of 1964, Trane's ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $10.29!
3	Giant Steps (1959) more music like this by John Coltrane History will undoubtedly enshrine this disc as a watershed the likes of which may never truly be appreciated. Giant Steps bore the double-edged sword of furthering the cause of the music as well as delivering it to an increasingly mainstream audience. Although this was John Coltrane's debut for Atlantic, he was concurrently performing and ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $11.11!
4	My Foolish Heart: Live at Montreux (2007) more music like this by Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette My Foolish Heart is an anniversary release celebrating 25 years of the Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette trio's traveling and performing together despite the rich and varied individual careers of its members. Recorded in 2001 at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Jarrett held the tape close to the vest until what he felt was the right time ... see all copies from $24.40! new only from $24.40!
5	Lion King: Rhythm of the Pride Lands (1995) more music like this by Disney The Lion King: The Rhythm of the Pridelands collects songs from The Lion King and The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, as well as music relating to the soundtracks' African and pop influences. Disney tunes like "He Lives in You," "Hakuna Matata," and "Warthog Rhapsody" blend with new versions of classics like "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," rounding out ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $49.99!
6	The Sidewinder (1963) more music like this by Lee Morgan Carried by its almost impossibly infectious eponymous opening track, The Sidewinder helped foreshadow the sounds of boogaloo and soul-jazz with its healthy R&B influence and Latin tinge. While the rest of the album retreats to a more conventional hard bop sound, Morgan's compositions are forward-thinking and universally solid. Only 25 at the time ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.50!
7	John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman (1963) more music like this by John Coltrane with Johnny Hartman John Coltrane's matchup with singer Johnny Hartman, although quite unexpected, works extremely well. Hartman, who had not recorded since 1956, was in prime form on the six ballads, and his versions of "Lush Life" and "My One and Only Love" have never been topped. Coltrane's playing throughout the session is beautiful, sympathetic, and still ... see all copies from $7.92! new only from $11.87!
8	Milestones (1958) more music like this by Miles Davis What is immediately noticeable upon listening to this delicately and superbly remastered version of Miles Davis classic first -- and only -- album with his original sextet is how deep the blues presence is on it. Though it is true that the album's title cut is rightfully credited with introducing modalism into jazz, and defining Davis' music for ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
9	Head Hunters (1973) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Head Hunters was a pivotal point in Herbie Hancock's career, bringing him into the vanguard of jazz fusion. Hancock had pushed avant-garde boundaries on his own albums and with Miles Davis, but he had never devoted himself to the groove as he did on Head Hunters. Drawing heavily from Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, and James Brown, Hancock developed ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.32!
10	Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter (1991) more music like this by Various Artists A fitfully entertaining collection of contemporary pop stars interpreting classic Cole Porter songs, Red Hot + Blue highlights include U2, Sinead O'Connor, Kirsty MacColl & the Pogues, Neneh Cherry, and David Byrne, but the best part of the disc is the wonderfully campy duet between Deborah Harry and Iggy Pop on "Well Did You Evah." All Music ... see all copies from $5.75! new only from $11.12!
11	Maiden Voyage (1965) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Less overtly adventurous than its predecessor, Empyrean Isles, Maiden Voyage nevertheless finds Herbie Hancock at a creative peak. In fact, it's arguably his finest record of the '60s, reaching a perfect balance between accessible, lyrical jazz and chance-taking hard bop. By this point, the pianist had been with Miles Davis for two years, and it's ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.50!
12 view cover	My Favorite Things (1960) more music like this by John Coltrane Although seemingly impossible to comprehend, this landmark jazz recording was made in less than three days. All the more remarkable is that the same sessions which yielded My Favorite Things would also inform a majority of the albums Coltrane Plays the Blues, Coltrane's Sound, and Coltrane Legacy. It is easy to understand the appeal that these ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
13 view cover	The Sermon! (1958) more music like this by Jimmy Smith This LP contains a quartet version of "Flamingo" (with the all-star group of organist Jimmy Smith, trumpeter Lee Morgan, guitarist Kenny Burrell and drummer Art Blakey) and Smith's minor-toned original "J.O.S." (starring Smith's trio, altoist George Coleman and Morgan). However, it is the sidelong 20 1/2 minute "The Sermon" (a tribute to pianist ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $11.13!
14 view cover	Conquistador (1977) more music like this by Maynard Ferguson Maynard was shrewd, and Maynard was quick, and he managed to beat almost everyone to the punch -- sorry -- when he recorded the theme from Rocky and watched it rise to number 28 on the pop charts. As blatant as Ferguson's rendition is, it was still the best rendition of the Bill Conti tune at the time (a lot better than the composer's own number ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $5.33!
15 view cover	The Bridge (1962) more music like this by Sonny Rollins The music on this 1996 CD has been reissued many times, including in the Bluebird series. Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' first recording after ending a surprising three-year retirement found the great saxophonist sounding very similar to how he had played in 1959, although he would soon start investigating freer forms. In a pianoless quartet ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
16 view cover	M.F. Horn, Vol. 2 (1972) more music like this by Maynard Ferguson During his period on Columbia, Maynard Ferguson showed a willingness (and sometimes even an eagerness) to record pop material. His trumpet playing is frequently brilliant throughout this LP with his English orchestra, but not too many jazz purists will be thrilled with his renditions of "Theme from Shaft," "Spinning Wheel," and "Hey Jude." The ... see all copies from $9.42! new only from $10.72!
17 view cover	Speak No Evil (1964) more music like this by Wayne Shorter On his third date for Blue Note within a year, Wayne Shorter changed the bands that played on both Night Dreamer and Juju and came up with not only another winner, but also managed to give critics and jazz fans a different look at him as a saxophonist. Because of his previous associations with McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, and Reggie Workman on those ... see all copies from $8.37! new only from $8.37!
18 view cover	Saxophone Colossus (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Sonny Rollins recorded many memorable sessions during 1954-1958, but Saxophone Colossus is arguably his finest all-around set. Joined by pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Max Roach, Rollins debuts and performs the definitive version of "St. Thomas," tears into the chord changes of "Mack the Knife" (here called "Moritat"), ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
19 view cover	Idle Moments (1963) more music like this by Grant Green This languid, seductive gem may well be Grant Green's greatest moment on record. Right from the opening bars of the classic title cut, Idle Moments is immediately ingratiating and accessible, featuring some of Green's most stylish straight jazz playing. Whether he's running warm (pianist Duke Pearson's "Idle Moments"), cool (the Modern Jazz ... see all copies from $11.12! new only from $11.13!
20 view cover	Soul Station (1960) more music like this by Hank Mobley Often overlooked, perhaps because he wasn't a great innovator in jazz but merely a stellar performer, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley was at the peak of his powers on Soul Station. Recorded with a superstar quartet including Art Blakey on drums, Paul Chambers on bass, and Wynton Kelly on piano, it was the first album since Mobley's 1955 debut to ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
21 view cover	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $25.66! new only from $51.66!
22 view cover	Clifford Brown with Strings (1955) more music like this by Clifford Brown see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.71!
23 view cover	The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery (1960) more music like this by Wes Montgomery , All Music Guide see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
24 view cover	Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane - At Carnegie Hall (2005) more music like this by Thelonious Monk/John Coltrane Larry Appelbaum, the recording lab supervisor at the Library of Congress, came across this tape by accident while transferring the library's tape archive to digital. What a find. Forget the Five Spot recording that sounds like it was recorded inside of a tunnel from the far end. The sound here is wonderfully present and contemporary. More ... see all copies from $16.57! new only from $16.57!
25 view cover	Ballads (1962) more music like this by John Coltrane Quartet Throughout John Coltrane's discography there are a handful of decisive and controversial albums that split his listening camp into factions. Generally, these occur in his later-period works such as Om and Ascension, which push into some pretty heady blowing. As a contrast, Ballads is often criticized as too easy and as too much of a compromise ... see all copies from $3.29! new only from $3.29!
