1	Born to Be Blue (1961) more music like this by Grant Green Although Grant Green provided his share of groove-oriented soul-jazz and modal post-bop, his roots were hard bop, and it is in a bop-oriented setting that the guitarist excels on Born to Be Blue. Most of the material on this five-star album was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's New Jersey studio on December 11, 1961, when Green was joined by tenor ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
2	Moanin' Blues (1960) more music like this by Bobby Timmons As an all-on-one-disc survey of the young composer-laureate of the funky school, this compilation will do very nicely. Drawing from four of Timmons' Riverside albums and one on Prestige, all the tunes are by Timmons save "Bags' Groove" and "Born To Be Blue"; the former takes us into the more advanced harmonic territory that Timmons was starting to ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
3	Jazz Divas: Gold (2007) more music like this by Various Artists There are no less than 20 CD compilations on the market with the words "Jazz Divas" in the title, and another eight that use the phrase "Divas of Jazz." Those two nouns, so carelessly bandied about, describe improvising female vocalists whose works are an extension of a tradition established by Bessie Smith, Adelaide Hall, Ethel Waters, Mildred ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $3.49!

5	Lullaby for a Monster (1976) more music like this by Dexter Gordon Recorded shortly before his triumphant return to the United States after a dozen years overseas, this Dexter Gordon album features him in a surprisingly sparse setting, accompanied only by bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Alex Riel. Whether it be the humorous melody "Nursery Blues," Pedersen's title cut or the four jazz standards (of which "Good ... see all copies from $16.45! new only from $16.45!
6	Blues in the City (1999) more music like this by Laverne Butler Shreveport, LA native Laverne Butler came up in a musical family, and she's learned her lessons well. She sings jazz, blues and gospel in a manner quite reminiscent of Nancy Wilson, with a sleek, supple voice that oozes class. There are no gimmicky affectations or cutesy inflections, just straight soul. Backed by pianist/producer Bruce Barth and ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $15.97!
7	Full View (1967) more music like this by Wynton Kelly Pianist Wynton Kelly's next-to-last set as a leader (he would record a slightly later date for Delmark) featured him at a time when his influence was waning and he was overshadowed by more advanced players. However, Kelly's impact would begin to grow again after his death, when the Young Lions movement began in the early '80s; certainly pianist ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
8	On Broadway, Vol. 4: Or the Paradox of Continuity (2006) more music like this by Paul Motian/Trio 2000+One Legendary for his long term associations with Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett, and other icons from across the traditional jazz and fusion landscape, Paul Motian celebrated his 75th birthday in 2006 with a return (after a 13-year hiatus) to a cool concept he succeeded with three times before: unique and thoughtful approaches to songs made famous on ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
9	Live at Stanford Jazz Workshop (1997) more music like this by Art Farmer Art Farmer (on his flumpet, a compromise between a trumpet and a flugelhorn) swings in creative fashion on a live set with veteran tenor Harold Land, pianist Bill Bell, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath. The quintet performs a pair of Thelonious Monk tunes, a few ballads, Land's "Rapture" and "Straight No Chaser." There are ... see all copies from $8.99!

13 view cover	Brownie: Homage to Clifford Brown (1995) more music like this by Helen Merrill 40 years after recording a classic album with trumpeter Clifford Brown, singer Helen Merrill paid tribute to the late Brownie, who died tragically in 1956. Utilizing on various tracks trumpeters Tom Harrell, Wallace Roney, Roy Hargrove and Lew Soloff, as well as pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Victor Lewis, Merrill performs a ... see all copies from $20.59! new only from $20.59!

15 view cover	Here and Now (1994) more music like this by Soesja Citroen Soesja Citroen joined the Challenge roster with Here and Now, which was produced by the Dutch label's in-house producer, Chris Ellis. A veteran jazz producer, Ellis was known for having great instincts when it came to singers, and he does well by Citroen on this album. Joined by pianist Cees Slinger, bassist Jan Voogd, and drummer Arnoud Gerritse, ... see all copies from $11.29! new only from $11.29!

17 view cover	Jazz for a Summer Night [High Note] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz for a Summer Night combines 14 laid-back tracks of pleasant vocal material from Sheila Jordan, Mark Murphy, and Etta Jones, alongside instrumental tracks by Charles Earland ("Stella By Starlight"), Houston Person ("I'll Be Around"), and John Hicks ("Nightwind"). The music successfully fulfills the promise of the title, at budget-line pricing ... see all copies from $7.06! new only from $7.06!
18 view cover	The Swingin's Mutual! [EMI Bonus Tracks] (1961) more music like this by George Shearing Quintet with Nancy Wilson The Swingin's Mutual!, Nancy Wilson's third album, was an excellent collaboration with the George Shearing Quintet. Originally Wilson participated on six of the 12 selections but since five new tracks (with only one vocal) have been added, she is now on seven out of seventeen. Very much under the influence of Dinah Washington at this point, Wilson ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
