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 $2.95! new only from $8.00!
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 $5.25!
3	Sunday at the Village Vanguard (1961) more music like this by Bill Evans Trio Sunday at the Village Vanguard (and Waltz for Debby, its companion album) is one of the most important piano trio albums in history and a desert-island choice among many musicians. It marks the final appearance of bassist Scott LaFaro with Evans and drummer Paul Motian. LaFaro demonstrated a concept of jazz bass playing here that shattered ... see all copies from $10.71! new only from $10.71!
4	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 $5.25! new only from $10.32!
5	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 $5.99! new only from $5.99!
6	Explorations (1961) more music like this by Bill Evans Trio When this album was recorded in February of 1961, it had been more than year since the Portrait in Jazz was issued, the disc that won the critics over. By the time of this issue, Evans had released four albums in six years, a pace unheard of during that time. Most musicians were issuing two, three, and even four records a year during the same era. ... see all copies from $10.71! new only from $10.71!
7	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 $3.96! new only from $11.11!
8	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!
9	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 $2.53! new only from $8.37!
10	The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings, 1961 (2005) more music like this by Bill Evans The music recorded by Bill Evans on June 25, 1961, has long since acquired legendary status. Evans, a brilliant pianist whose unique voicings have influenced over a generation of jazz pianists who have followed him, weaves one masterpiece after another with bassist Scott LaFaro (a promising composer and phenomenal bassist) and the equally valuable ... see all copies from $24.33! new only from $24.33!
11	Love Songs (1999) more music like this by Miles Davis Nine examples of Miles Davis caressing a ballad at a slow tempo are included on this 1999 CD, Love Songs. All of the music is easily available elsewhere, but it is interesting to hear the different approaches that the trumpeter could employ in sticking close to a lyrical melody. There are two numbers ("My Ship" and "I Loves You, Porgy") from Davis ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.33!
12	Portrait in Jazz (1959) more music like this by Bill Evans Trio The first of two studio albums by the Bill Evans-Scott LaFaro-Paul Motian trio (both of which preceded their famous engagement at the Village Vanguard), this Portrait in Jazz reissue contains some wondrous interplay, particularly between pianist Evans and bassist LaFaro, on the two versions of "Autumn Leaves." Other than introducing Evans' "Peri's ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
13 view cover	Moonbeams (1962) more music like this by Bill Evans Trio Moonbeams was the first recording Bill Evans made after the death of his musical right arm, bassist Scott LaFaro. Indeed, in LaFaro, Evans found a counterpart rather than a sideman, and the music they made together over four albums showed it. Bassist Chuck Israels from Cecil Taylor and Bud Powell's bands took his place in the band with Evans and ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
14 view cover	Empyrean Isles (1964) more music like this by Herbie Hancock My Point of View and Inventions and Dimensions found Herbie Hancock exploring the fringes of hard bop, working with a big band and a Latin-flavored percussion section, respectively. On Empyrean Isles, he returns to hard bop, but the results are anything but conventional. Working with cornetist Freddie Hubbard, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Tony ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $11.13!
15 view cover	Karma (1969) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders Pharoah Sanders' third album as a leader is the one that defines him as a musician to the present day. After the death of Coltrane, while there were many seeking to make a spiritual music that encompassed his ideas and yearnings while moving forward, no one came up with the goods until Sanders on this 1969 date. There are only two tracks on Karma, ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $13.71!
16 view cover	JuJu (1964) more music like this by Wayne Shorter Fulfilling the potential promised on his Blue Note debut, Night Dreamer, Wayne Shorter's Ju Ju was the first really great showcase for both his performance and compositional gifts. Early in his career as a leader Shorter was criticized as a mere acolyte of John Coltrane, and his use of Coltrane's rhythm section on his first two Blue Note albums ... see all copies from $8.09! new only from $8.09!
17 view cover	Hear O Israel (1968) more music like this by Herbie Hancock see all copies from $14.66! new only from $14.66!
18 view cover	Last Waltz: The Final Recordings Live (2000) more music like this by Bill Evans Trio see all copies from $109.26! new only from $109.26!
19 view cover	Conversations With Myself (1963) more music like this by Bill Evans A classic of its kind. For this Verve project, Conversations With Myself, Bill Evans recorded three piano parts via overdubbing. Aptly titled, the music on this CD reissue has a surprising amount of spontaneity, with Evans constantly reacting to what he had just recorded, and the results are sometimes haunting. The highlights include "How About ... see all copies from $9.98! new only from $16.81!
20 view cover	Ptah the El Daoud (1970) more music like this by Alice Coltrane Sometimes written off as an also-ran to her more famous husband, Alice Coltrane's work of the late '60s and early '70s shows that she was a strong composer and performer in her own right, with a unique ability to impregnate her music with spirituality and gentleness without losing its edges or depth. Ptah the El Daoud is a truly great album, and ... see all copies from $13.69! new only from $13.71!
21 view cover	The Return of the 5000 Lb. Man (1975) more music like this by Rahsaan Roland Kirk The Return of the 5000 Lb. Man was Rahsaan Roland Kirk's first album for Warner Brothers, recorded before the stroke that impaired him. Kirk is at full creative and musical strength. These seven tracks are an utter astonishment. Kirk's playing of saxophones, harmonica, flutes, and euphonium is deep, soulful, and even profound in places. "Theme for ... see all copies from $10.64! new only from $10.64!
22 view cover	The Best of Ken Burns Jazz (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 was the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, which was augmented by no less than 22 ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $11.06!
23 view cover	Coltrane Plays the Blues (1960) more music like this by John Coltrane Coltrane's sessions for Atlantic in late October 1960 were prolific, yielding the material for My Favorite Things, Coltrane Plays the Blues, and Coltrane's Sound. My Favorite Things was destined to be the most remembered and influential of these, and while Coltrane Plays the Blues is not as renowned or daring in material, it is still a powerful ... see all copies from $5.65! new only from $5.65!
24 view cover	Since We Met (1974) more music like this by Bill Evans Trio Thirteen years after his legendary Village Vanguard recordings, Bill Evans recorded Since We Met at the famous New York establishment again. Using his trio of the era (which includes bassist Eddie Gómez and drummer Marty Morell), Evans explores both familiar ("Time Remembered," "Turn Out the Stars" and "But Beautiful") and new (Joe Zawinul's ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
25 view cover	Jazz: Red, Hot and Cool (1954) more music like this by Dave Brubeck Recorded during three different stays at New York's Basin Street, Jazz: Red, Hot and Cool is making its first appearance in the U.S. on CD. It documents -- with the addition of two additional performances that were previously unissued -- the original Brubeck quartet in its final years. In 1956 Joe Morello would replace Joe Dodge, and in 1958 ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $11.06!
