1	Rhythm Is My Business (1962) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald Organist Bill Doggett had a rare chance on this album to write swinging charts for a big band. Ella Fitzgerald is in the spotlight throughout, mostly singing swing-era songs along with a couple of newer pieces, such as "Hallelujah I Love Him So" and "No Moon at All." "I Can't Face the Music" is the longest performance at 5:01, and all but three of ... see all copies from $8.61! new only from $8.61!
2	Cross Country Tour: 1958-1961 (1998) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal This two-CD set has highlights from pianist Ahmad Jamal's famous trio dates for Argo, with selections drawn from At the Pershing, At the Pershing Vol. 2, Portfolio of Ahmad Jamal, Alhambra, and At the Blackhawk, plus one selection only out before in a sampler. It is a pity that the five valuable albums were not reissued in full on a three-CD set, ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $15.47!
3	Easy Street (1994) more music like this by Dave McKenna The perfect way to hear pianist Dave McKenna is on his solo records; fortunately he has recorded quite a few for Concord. McKenna enjoys performing sets of music with thematic titles. The first seven songs on this date all have something to do with a street (from "Broadway" and "Basin Street Blues" to "Street of Dreams" and "On the Street Where ... see all copies from $8.03! new only from $8.03!
4	Our 25th Year (1993) more music like this by Rob McConnell & the Boss Brass Rob McConnell's Boss Brass has produced 25 years of solid music-making, most of it in the swinging bebop tradition. The music on this Concord CD has more than its share of surprises, such as a bar of 3/4 put in one chorus of "4 B.C.," phrases "borrowed" from Bob Florence and inserted in "Riffs I Have Known," and an inventive version of "Flying ... see all copies from $10.06! new only from $10.06!
5	The Lester Young Story [Proper] (2000) more music like this by Lester Young Proper, the famous British reissue label, has given the world a series of four-CD "Proper boxes" that contain essential recordings by legendary musicians. Proper's The Lester Young Story is an excellent introduction to this man's phenomenal artistry. Beginning with two instrumentals from his very first recording session on November 9, 1936, Proper ... see all copies from $16.82! new only from $17.47!
6	Songs of New York (1995) more music like this by Bobby Short Pianist/vocalist Bobby Short pays homage to his home base on Songs of New York. Backed skillfully by guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, drummer Jackie Williams, bassist Frank Tate, cornetist Warren Vache, and reedman Chuck Wilson, this is truly a group project. Recorded live at the Cafe Carlyle, Short and friends run through a passionate and urbane mix ... see all copies from $6.30! new only from $13.93!
7	Sweet and Funky (2007) more music like this by Akiko Tsuruga Japanese-born Akiko Tsuruga has lived in New York since 2001. Sweet and Funky is her breakthrough CD, showing that she can hold her own with virtually every other jazz organist. Her style fits well into '60s/'70s soul-jazz and hard bop styles, grooving like Charles Earland, Jimmy McGriff, Jimmy Smith and the other great organists of the era ... see all copies from $10.01! new only from $10.01!
8	America's #1 Band: The Columbia Years (2003) more music like this by Count Basie Count Basie's Columbia years have long been debated, subject to apocryphal written data and legend because of the willy-nilly nature of his tenure with the label and its subsidiaries. Producer Orrin Keepnews has thus assembled America's #1 Band: The Columbia Years, a compilation of Basie's Columbia years that not only makes sense historically; it ... see all copies from $21.00! new only from $21.00!
9	Carter, Gillespie, Inc. (1976) more music like this by Benny Carter with Dizzy Gillespie Although they were from different musical generations (Benny Carter was born ten years before Dizzy Gillespie), it is little wonder that the swing altoist and the bop trumpeter could match up so well on this sextet session; they were quite compatible. Surprisingly, the material they chose to perform could have been better (there is only one Carter ... see all copies from $7.00!
10	I Happen to Like New York/Valente on T.V. (2004) more music like this by Caterina Valente This two-fer from Dutton Vocalion features a pair of out of print LPs by easy listening vocalist Caterina Valente: I Happen to Like New York and Valente on T.V., both originally issued in 1964. These 23 remastered tracks find the singer at the top of her vocal excellence interpreting selections from the songbooks of Cole Porter, Ellington & ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $18.04!
11 view cover	Travis Shook (1993) more music like this by Travis Shook Travis Shook's debut as a leader features four standards and four lesser-known pieces and find the 22-year-old pianist displaying very impressive technique and (almost as importantly) plenty of self-restraint. His style shows slight echoes of McCoy Tyner and Herbie Hancock, but also builds and releases tension in a colorful fashion reminiscent of ... see all copies from $1.99!
12 view cover	From the Beginning (2002) more music like this by Scott Hamilton Whoever decided to name '50s-style, small combo jazz "mainstream" did a disservice to saxophonists like Scott Hamilton. The word sounds safe and soulless. And while Hamilton will never be mistaken for John Coltrane, he's no throwback to some fondly remembered (and forgotten) era. From the Beginning combines the oddly titled Scott Hamilton Is a ... see all copies from $13.16! new only from $13.16!
13 view cover	Monty Alexander in Tokyo [Bonus Tracks] (2004) more music like this by Monty Alexander Monty Alexander commemorated his first tour of Japan in 1979 with this studio recording in Tokyo, with bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Frank Gant. Although the pianist's interpretation of the standard "Broadway" is definitely in a hard bop groove, his shimmering runs are reminiscent of Oscar Peterson or Art Tatum. "Just in Time," powered by Gant ... see all copies from $7.14! new only from $8.48!
14 view cover	Cool Fire (2003) more music like this by Cal Tjader This two-CD compilation brings together two outstanding recordings from late in Cal Tjader's career. The first disc, released as A Fuego Vivo, comes from a 1981 concert at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. One thing apparent right away is that Tjader is generous in featuring and acknowledging the contributions of his sidemen, in ... see all copies from $15.47! new only from $15.47!
15 view cover	The Complete Prestige Recordings (2004) more music like this by Dexter Gordon While it's unquestionably true that saxophonist Dexter Gordon is best known for his Blue Note sides made between 1960 and 1965, it is on his Prestige recordings, the vast majority of which were taped between 1969 and 1973, where the full depth and breadth of his gift and contribution are documented. What's more, this box finally sets the ... see all copies from $86.66! new only from $86.66!
16 view cover	Tal (1956) more music like this by Tal Farlow The perfect setting for the brilliant guitarist Tal Farlow is the format heard on this classic LP, a drumless trio. Farlow, pianist Eddie Costa, and bassist Vinnie Burke made for an exciting team, really romping on the uptempo pieces. Highlights of the often heated set include "There Is No Greater Love," "Anything Goes," "Yesterdays," and ... see all copies from $12.90! new only from $42.28!
17 view cover	Fingers on Fire (2002) more music like this by Tom Principato & Pete Kennedy Roots music enthusiasts rightly cite New Year's Eve 1978 as a legendary night at Washington, D.C.'s Cellar Door because of the towering figure cut by late guitar legend Danny Gatton and his high-flying ensemble of the time (Redneck Jazz Explosion). Gatton's celebrated "clam filter" kept the tapes of his own performances from being released for ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
18 view cover	S'Us Four (1998) more music like this by Cal Collins Cal Collins gained some recognition in the 1970s for his recordings with Concord, but he left the national spotlight the following decade to settle in his native Cincinnati. For this excellent effort by a quartet consisting of guitarists Collins and Kenny Poole, bassist Michael Moore and drummer Jimmy Madison, Collins' swinging style and mellow ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $10.98!
19 view cover	Oscar Peterson with Harry Edison & Eddie Vinson (1986) more music like this by Oscar Peterson with Harry Edison and Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson During Nov. 12-14, 1986, pianist Oscar Peterson recorded three albums worth of material for Norman Granz's Pablo label. This particular CD features the great pianist with his quartet (bassist Dave Young, drummer Martin Drew and guest guitarist Joe Pass) along with trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison and altoist Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson. The strictly ... see all copies from $9.62! new only from $9.62!
20 view cover	Trombone by Three (1949) more music like this by J.J. Johnson with Kai Winding and Bennie Green see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
21 view cover	Women Who Swing Chicago (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Women Who Swing Chicago presents an overview of some of the female musicians making an impact on Chicago's jazz scene in the late '90s. Really, the only thing binding this material together is the fact that women were largely responsible for it; the range of styles is enormous, from big-band swing and torch balladry to cool jazz, hard bop, and a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.45!
22 view cover	Party Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Party Jazz is an infectious compilation of funky, catchy soul-jazz driven by tenor saxes and Hammond B-3s (plus occasional guitar, as on Grant Green's selection). While jazz purists might deride the choices as haphazard, what's here is generally very good, with an artist roster including Willis "Gator" Jackson, Brother Jack McDuff, Houston Person, ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $4.72!
23 view cover	32 Gems from 32 Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Taking material from the '60s through the '90s, mostly from the vaults of the Muse and Landmark imprints, 32 Gems From 32 Jazz is an excellent three-disc sampler of the mainstream jazz label's catalog holdings and a fitting celebration of its first three years of existence. Nearly every major straight-ahead jazz style from that period is ... see all copies from $6.03! new only from $27.85!
24 view cover	Sextet: 1955-1956 (1998) more music like this by Gerry Mulligan The vestige of what was Mulligan's short lived (three years) and potent pianoless small ensemble, this band tackles standards, four of the baritone saxophonists originals, and one of trumpeter Eardley. The front line with Zoot Sims, Bob Brookmeyer and Eardley challenge Mulligan. These are originally EmArcy/Mercury sessions, almost all from 1955 ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $78.75!
25 view cover	Jazz Band Ball (1957) more music like this by Terry Gibbs This reissue is unrelated to another V.S.O.P. set simply titled A Jazz Band Ball. Terry Gibbs on vibes and marimba matches wits and creativity with Victor Feldman and Larry Bunker, both of whom double on vibes and xylophone. Assisted by pianist Lou Levy, bassist Max Bennett and drummer Mel Lewis, the intriguing frontline essentially plays bop, but ... see all copies from $8.60! new only from $8.60!
