Bags and Trane (1959) more music like this

by Milt Jackson & John Coltrane

Vibraphonist Milt Jackson and tenor saxophonist John Coltrane make for a surprisingly complementary team on this 1959 studio session, their only joint recording.

Supersax Plays Bird

Supersax Plays Bird (1972) more music like this

by Supersax

Supersax's debut recording is still their best. The unusual group, who plays Charlie Parker solos harmonized for a five-piece saxophone section but with no individual sax solos (at least not on record; live they always did stretch out), found their own niche. With Conte Candoli as the trumpet soloist and a rhythm section comprised of pianist ...

by Charlie Parker

Bird Up: The Originals, the companion disc to Bird Up: The Charlie Parker Remix Project, contains 11 remastered tracks recorded between 1945 and 1948.

In 1992, over the course of 47 shows packed into a month of dates, Dizzy Gillespie held forth at the Blue Note in New York City.

You and the Night and the Music (2007) more music like this

by Sonny Fortune

Although always a bit underrated, Sonny Fortune has been a powerful alto saxophonist since at least the early '70s. His style, while modal-based, is flexible enough to stretch from bop to free. On this quartet date with pianist George Cables, Fortune mostly sticks to familiar standards, other than the two originals. While he plays with plenty of ...

Something Old, Something New (1963) more music like this

by Dizzy Gillespie

Reissued on CD in 1998, this was one of Dizzy Gillespie's finest sessions of the 1960s. His quintet (which includes James Moody on tenor, flute and alto, pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Chris White and drummer Rudy Collins) sounds quite inspired.
