1	Afternoon in Paris (1971) more music like this by Stephane Grappelli This is a typically flawless swing set by violinist Stephane Grappelli. Joined by pianist Marc Hemmeler, bassist Eberhard Weber and drummer Kenny Clare for a session originally cut for MPS, Grappelli mixes together sophisticated ballads with hotter stomps and uplifts the somewhat modern rhythm section. Scott Yanow, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
2	Wonderful World of Jazz (1960) more music like this by John Lewis This is one of pianist John Lewis' most rewarding albums outside of his work with the Modern Jazz Quartet. Three numbers (including a remake of "Two Degrees East, Three Degrees West") showcase his piano in a quartet with guitarist Jim Hall, bassist Geroge Duvivier and drummer Connie Kay. A 15½-minute rendition of "Body and Soul" has one of tenor ... see all copies from $7.98!
3	The Wonderful World of Jazz/Evolution (2007) more music like this by John Lewis Collectables presents a surprisingly logical double reissue of two great Atlantic albums by pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader John Lewis. The Wonderful World of Jazz was originally released in 1960; Evolution (the first of two by that title) came out in 1999. These albums complement each other quite well; much better in fact than some ... see all copies from $12.18! new only from $12.18!
4	Killer Joe (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $19.09! new only from $19.09!
5	Afternoon in Paris (1956) more music like this by John Lewis It was in Paris that John Lewis co-led this 1956 date with Sacha Distel, a French guitarist who never became well-known in the U.S. but commanded a lot of respect in French jazz circles. The same can be said about the other French players employed on Afternoon in Paris -- neither tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen nor bassist Pierre Michelot were huge ... see all copies from $7.29! new only from $7.47!
6	Bouncing with Mr. A.T. (1989) more music like this by Steve Grossman Although early in his career tenor saxophonist Steve Grossman showed off the strong influence of John Coltrane (particularly when he was in Elvin Jones' group), by the time he recorded Bouncing With Mr. A.T. in 1989 he sounded very close to Sonny Rollins. Showcased in a pianoless trio with bassist Tyler Mitchell and drummer Art Taylor, Grossman ... see all copies from $19.58! new only from $19.58!
7	Here Is Phineas (1956) more music like this by Phineas Newborn Other than two numbers cut for the Progressive label in Houston a couple years earlier (and thus far never reissued), this Atlantic session (put out as a Koch CD in 1999) was the recording debut for the remarkable Phineas Newborn. The 24-year-old pianist's playing on this trio/quartet date with bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Kenny Clarke (and ... see all copies from $9.67! new only from $9.67!
8	Celebrating Sonny at 75/The Very Best of the RCA Years (2005) more music like this by Sonny Rollins see all copies from $4.95! new only from $22.14!
9	Suit of Armor (1992) more music like this by Rebecca Coupe Franks see all copies from $1.99!
10	Head to Head (2002) more music like this by John Allred/Wycliffe Gordon It all started, of course, with J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding back in the 1950s, but the trombone duo with rhythm has since been tried from time to time with varying success by several others. This one is sure to please fans of the genre, for not only are John Allred and Wycliffe Gordon two of the top jazz trombonists around, but the choice of ... see all copies from $12.36! new only from $14.79!
11	A Look at the Sound of RCA Jazz (1995) more music like this by Various Artists In the '90s, RCA's jazz department had its hands in different pieces of the jazz pie -- everything from new hard bop and post-bop recordings to new NAC/smooth jazz releases to reissues of big-band swing hits of the '30s and '40s. So when RCA assembled this jazz-oriented compilation in 1995, there was a lot to choose from. By 1995, RCA had been ... see all copies from $1.99!
12 view cover	Love Story/Piano & Pen (2000) more music like this by Dave Pell Octet & Dick Katz On this double CD, Love Story by the Dave Pell Octet is the dull next-door neighbor to pianist Dick Katz's swinging quartet on Piano & Pen. The Pell Octet, essentially a unit from within Les Brown's band, is the purveyor of pleasant, skillfully arranged and executed music. Its predecessors, like those of Brown's band, are the sweet bands of the ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
13 view cover	Rapture (1996) more music like this by Jay Thomas Quartet Since his debut as a leader in 1989, multi-instrumentalist Jay Thomas has been a force to be reckoned with, though most of his CDs are somewhat challenging to find. Thomas alternates between flügelhorn, trumpet, tenor sax, and soprano sax on these 1994 sessions made for the Canadian label Jazz Focus, joined by a rhythm section consisting of ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $12.75!
14 view cover	Private Concert (1991) more music like this by John Lewis see all copies from $8.25! new only from $11.98!
15 view cover	Evolution (1999) more music like this by John Lewis John Lewis, a founding member of the Modern Jazz Quartet (and architect, with Gunther Schuller, of the "Third Stream" movement that attempted a fusion of classical music and jazz), has always been known for the delicacy and refinement of his playing and for the quality of his compositions. This solo album will only add to his reputation in both ... see all copies from $18.99! new only from $18.99!
16 view cover	Ray Vega (1996) more music like this by Ray Vega Trumpeter Ray Vega, who has mostly played in Afro-Cuban jazz settings (including with Mongo Santamaria, Ray Barretto, and Tito Puente), mostly emphasizes hard bop on his self-titled debut, especially on "Greenhouse" (based on "What Is This Thing Called Love") and a medium-slow "Alone Together." However he also performs some Latin music and Wilson ... see all copies from $6.23!
17 view cover	Now's the Time (1964) more music like this by Sonny Rollins see all copies from $12.48!
18 view cover	Angel Eyes (1978) more music like this by Anita O'Day An outstanding set featuring recordings done by vocalist Anita O'Day in Japan between 1975 and 1978. They're standards and ballads, well-known and obscure, and show that she had come all the way back as a vocalist, overcoming a battle with alcohol and other drugs that sidelined her during the '60s. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.84! new only from $7.84!
19 view cover	The Savoy Story, Vol. 1: Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The old Savoy catalog gets bounced around from one distributor to the next like an unwanted foster child, with everyone starting from scratch once they get a hold of it. By 1999, it was Atlantic's turn and, hot on the heels of other label retrospectives, they have compiled a very good three-CD anthology of Savoy's jazz activities over 15 years in ... see all copies from $34.98! new only from $34.98!
20 view cover	Let Me Tell You About My Day (2004) more music like this by Phil Dwyer see all copies from $3.00!
21 view cover	Kenny Clarke Meets the Detroit Jazzmen (1956) more music like this by Kenny Clarke Drummer Kenny Clarke, who was the first to record with Cannonball Adderley, was an underrated talent scout. On this album, Clarke utilizes bassist Paul Chambers and three relative unknowns who had recently arrived in New York from Detroit: baritonist Pepper Adams, pianist Tommy Flanagan and guitarist Kenny Burrell. During what would be the drummer ... see all copies from $8.00!
22 view cover	El Commandante (1996) more music like this by Mario Rivera see all copies from $17.44!
23 view cover	Nonchalant (2000) more music like this by Jan Leder Nonchalant is Jan Leder's second album as leader (the first was released by the now defunct Monad Records in 1995). The title aptly describes this session -- relaxed and tasteful, featuring a varied playlist comprised mostly of Leder originals. The session kicks off with a seven-plus-minute exploration of Stevie Wonder's "Bird of Beauty." More ... see all copies from $8.87!
24 view cover	Groovin' High [Jamey Aebersold] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $14.29! new only from $14.29!
25 view cover	Glad I Found You (1984) more music like this by Horace Parlan Expatriate pianist Horace Parlan and a couple of fine Scandinavians (bassist Jesper Lundgaard and drummer Aage Tanggaard) welcome Thad Jones (heard exclusively here on flugelhorn) and the great tenor Eddie Harris to this spirited set. Jones was making a successful, if short-lived comeback, and at two years before his death, this was one of his ... see all copies from $16.45! new only from $16.45!
