1	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Charlie Parker (2004) more music like this by Charlie Parker Alto saxophonist Charlie Parker was instrumental in tipping jazz over from the swing genre, which was predominantly a dance music, to bop, which aspired to art, an intellectual dance if you will, and consequently Parker was a huge purveyor of the mid-'40s sea change that began to alter the way audiences approached jazz, and pop music in general. ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
2	The Essential Charlie Parker (1992) more music like this by Charlie Parker Another anthology that has less value due to the exploding reissue market. These cuts were among Parker's most influential compositions and performances, but they've been reissued many times, both in anthology packages and on re-releases of their original albums. But it's part of the Essentials sampler line, and if you only want a little Parker, ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
3	Diz 'N Bird at Carnegie Hall (1947) more music like this by Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie Nine years after Benny Goodman's groundbreaking concert, bebop finally came to Carnegie Hall. Most notable on this 1997 CD (which contains music that has been reissued many times, often incoherently) is the meeting between altoist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Joined by the underrecorded piano of John Lewis, bassist Al McKibbon and ... see all copies from $4.23! new only from $11.13!
4	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Charlie Parker With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. Even though alto saxophonist Charlie Parker didn't record as much material as other legends in this series, it's ... see all copies from $3.96! new only from $5.23!
5	The Complete Verve Master Takes (2003) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $38.19! new only from $38.19!
6	Confirmation: The Best of the Verve Years (1995) more music like this by Charlie Parker Anyone daunted by the expense of acquiring the 10-disc Bird: The Complete Charlie Parker on Verve may well have their prayers answered by this 2-CD distillation of the big box. It covers a wide stretch of material from Parker's career, going back to the first JATP concert in 1946 and stretching almost to the end of his Norman Granz period. One ... see all copies from $3.32! new only from $3.32!
7	Bebop Spoken Here [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Anyone wanting to dive into the world of jazz would do very well to check out this and the many other stellar box sets put out by England's Proper label. Showing how it should be done in the compilation game, the label packs this four-disc set with prime material and a 56-page booklet that includes extensive notes, a detailed sessionography, and ... see all copies from $16.00! new only from $18.96!
8	Bird Songs: The Final Recordings (1992) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie With this CD, Telarc squeezes another package out of a month-long salute to the jazz master's 75th birthday at New York's Blue Note jazz club, advertising them as Dizzy Gillespie's last recordings (they're not). What it is, is a mixed blessing, an obviously heartfelt tribute to an aging legend by several of his disciples, conservative to a fault ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
9	Bird at St. Nick's (1950) more music like this by Charlie Parker In this top-shelf session, Red Rodney shines on trumpet and Al Haig stars on piano. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.09! new only from $10.44!
10	Pure Jazz Encore! (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Verve Records took some flack in early 2001 for releasing a jazz entry in its series of Pure compilations at the same time that the label had entered into a joint venture with Columbia Records to exploit Ken Burns' jazz television documentary by issuing a series of compilations tied in to the program; Verve seemed to many to be undercutting what ... see all copies from $15.19!
11 view cover	Complete Savoy Live Performances: Sept. 29, 1947-Oct. 25, 1950 (1998) more music like this by Charlie Parker This four-CD set contains a somewhat streamlined presentation of Parker's complete known live broadcasts from New York's Royal Roost, dating during 1948 and 1949, augmented with five of the live September 29, 1947, Carnegie Hall recordings and one lower-quality tape made in Chicago during 1950. The vitality of these performances still radiates off ... see all copies from $44.67! new only from $44.67!
12 view cover	Triple Play (1998) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie 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. With a core rhythm section that included Junior Mance on piano, some 40 musicians whom Diz had influenced were brought onstage to mix it up with the master. These shows were ultimately distilled into three albums, which ... see all copies from $30.41! new only from $30.41!
13 view cover	Bud Plays Bird (1957) more music like this by Bud Powell Previously unissued until 1996, this trio session by pianist Bud Powell with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor is better than his Verve recordings of the period if not quite up to the level of his earlier classic Blue Note dates. Actually it is a mystery how such excellent music could be unknown and go unreleased for so long. Powell ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
14 view cover	Bird's Best Bop on Verve (1995) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $3.57! new only from $3.57!
15 view cover	To Diz with Love: Diamond Jubilee Recordings (1992) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie His final recording, taken from a month he spent featured at the Blue Note in New York, matches the aging giant with such fellow trumpeters as Jon Faddis, Wynton Marsalis, Claudio Roditi, Wallace Roney, Red Rodney, Charlie Sepulveda and the ancient but still brilliant Doc Cheatham (who cuts both Gillespie and Faddis on "Mood Indigo"). Although he ... see all copies from $3.94! new only from $16.38!
16 view cover	Then and Now (1992) more music like this by Red Rodney Red Rodney's final recording (cut two years before his death) finds the 64-year-old sticking exclusively to flugelhorn and still displaying strong chops. Performing with his working quintet (Chris Potter on tenor and alto, pianist Garry Dial, bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Jimmy Madison) Rodney returns to his roots, performing 11 bop-era ... see all copies from $19.35! new only from $19.35!
17 view cover	The Dizzy Gillespie Story: 1939-1950 [Box Set] (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This four-disc, 100-track box set traces famed bebop trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's career from his early years with Teddy Hill, Lionel Hampton and Cab Calloway through his work with figures like Coleman Hawkins and Billy Eckstine. It includes his 1947 concert at Carnegie Hall with Charlie Parker and concludes with the famous sessions that Gillespie ... see all copies from $19.35! new only from $42.99!

20 view cover	1945-1946 (1997) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie The 1945-1946 edition of Gillespie's Classics series finds the bop trumpeter in the kind of top-notch company he kept throughout most of the '40s. Leaving sideman dates for other discs, the 23-track set spotlights Gillespie with his Tempo Jazzmen and an early version of his orchestra; while the former included the stunning likes of Lucky Thompson, ... see all copies from $74.97!
21 view cover	Stitt Plays Bird (1963) more music like this by Sonny Stitt Sonny Stitt forged his own approach to playing bebop out of the sound and style of Charlie Parker, so this tribute album was a very logical project. With fine support from guitarist Jim Hall, pianist John Lewis, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Connie Kay, Stitt performs ten Charlie Parker compositions, plus Jay McShann's "Hootie Blues"; these ... see all copies from $30.00! new only from $32.45!
22 view cover	Yardbird Suite (1997) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $12.08!
23 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 15 (1994) more music like this by Charlie Parker For those who haven't yet invested in Definitive's excellent four-CD set Charlie Parker: The Complete Norman Granz Master Takes, Verve Jazz Masters 15 may serve as a useful sampler containing some of this master improviser's best performances recorded between January 1946 and July 1953. In addition to Jazz at the Philharmonic jams ("I Can't Get ... see all copies from $5.99!
24 view cover	Charlie Parker [Verve] (1947) more music like this by Charlie Parker If you have the original 10" LP issue of this album with the '50s David Stone Martin cover art, hang on to it (it's worth anywhere from $240 to $400!), but also acquire this greatly expanded CD version in the Verve Master Edition series. In addition to the original eight selections, recorded in 1953 with Al Haig or Hank Jones (piano), Percy Heath ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
25 view cover	Groovin' High [Indigo] (1997) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This collection of 24 tracks is a mix of Gillespie's big band and small group efforts in the mid-'40s. There are some prime examples of seminal bebop, both from a playing standpoint and as compositions that defined the genre. Gillespie's sidemen, like Sonny Stitt, Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon became legends in their own right, but Dizzy gave ... see all copies from $11.43! new only from $11.43!
