1	Sonny Stitt/Bud Powell/J.J. Johnson (1949) more music like this by Sonny Stitt/Bud Powel/J.J. Johnson This superb CD reissues the complete output of three classic bop sessions including five "new" alternate takes. Sonny Stitt (who plays tenor throughout) is heard in a quintet with trombonist J.J. Johnson, pianist John Lewis, bassist Nelson Boyd and drummer Max Roach (playing three Johnson compositions and the original version of John Lewis's ... see all copies from $7.69! new only from $8.03!
2	On a Misty Night (1965) more music like this by Chet Baker Chet Baker was quite busy during three days in August 1965, recording five LPs worth of material with tenor saxophonist George Coleman (formerly with Miles Davis), pianist Kirk Lightsey, bassist Herman Wright and drummer Roy Brooks. Baker, sticking to flugelhorn, is heard in fine form on this CD reissue, which (along with Stairway to the Stars and ... see all copies from $14.70! new only from $14.70!
3	Bluesiana (2006) more music like this by Kansas City Frank Melrose Frank Melrose is best known in jazz history as a pianist from the late '20s/early '30s who at times sounded so close to Jelly Roll Morton that his records were mistakenly thought by some to be by Jelly Roll under a different name. His early death (murdered in 1941, most likely by gangsters) has made him a mystery figure, so the first-time release ... see all copies from $9.39! new only from $9.39!
4	Tempus Fugue-It (2001) more music like this by Bud Powell This is a fascinating, revelatory, deeply moving, and completely captivating collection of Bud Powell material that hasn't readily seen the light of day before, despite the fact that almost all of it has been commercially released at one time or another. The material over these four discs ranges from pre-bebop years, with Cootie Williams from 1944 ... see all copies from $38.79! new only from $38.79!
5	Quintergy (1988) more music like this by J.J. Johnson Trombonist J.J. Johnson, 64 at the time of Quintergy, is heard in top form on this Live at the Village Vanguard set. His quintet, which includes Ralph Moore on tenor and soprano, pianist Stanley Cowell, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Victor Lewis, is perfectly suited to interpret the spirited set of advanced bop. Highlights include Johnson's ... see all copies from $4.11! new only from $9.40!
6	Stitt's Bits: Bebop Recordings 1949-1952 [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by Sonny Stitt The rap on Sonny Stitt is that he was little more than an imitator of Charlie Parker, without a firm identity of his own. However, from the evidence of these early Stitt recordings -- gathered together into a three-CD box -- the first part of the rap doesn't quite ring true, though the second remains an open question. Stitt may have shared an ... see all copies from $15.99! new only from $22.15!
7	We'll Be Together Again (1984) more music like this by Joe Pass with J.J. Johnson Few would argue with the statement that there is not an excess of guitar-trombone duet albums. In fact, in terms of instrumentation, this date (which has been reissued on CD) may very well be somewhat unique in jazz history. Trombonist J.J. Johnson had already been the pacesetter on his instrument for nearly 40 years at the time, while guitarist ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Live at the Blue Note Cafe, Paris 1961 [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this by Bud Powell After bop pianist Bud Powell died in 1966, ESP-Disk Records kept his name alive with a series of archival live recordings curated from the personal collection of his wife, Buttercup Powell. Unlike their higher-profile Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker series, which were of unfortunately varying (and quite often very low) quality, the Bud Powell ... see all copies from $9.33! new only from $9.33!
9	Hallucinations (1995) more music like this by Claude Williamson For his V.S.O.P. release, veteran pianist Claude Williamson performs six Bud Powell compositions, plus six other standards that the innovative bop pianist enjoyed playing. With the assistance of bassist Dave Carpenter and drummer Paul Kreibich, Williamson displays both the Powell influence and his own approach to bebop piano. The music always ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $8.85!

12 view cover	The Quintessence New York: 1944-1949 (2002) more music like this by Bud Powell With the exceptions of classic Bird and Diz, these Bud Powell sides cut when he was at the height of his game represent some of the best of the bop era. Powell was on the bench with Miles Davis, Kenny Dorham, Kenny Clarke, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Fats Navarro, and the list goes on and on. The sound is fair to middling on some of the earlier ... see all copies from $37.32! new only from $37.32!
