1	Harlem Blues (1969) more music like this by Phineas Newborn The superb trio (pianist Phineas Newborn, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Elvin Jones) had never played together before but it didn't matter. They had little trouble finding common ground. The virtuosic pianist (still in peak form) leads the way on such pieces as his "Harlem Blues," "Ray's Idea" (composed decades earlier by Brown) and Horace Silver ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
2	Presenting (2007) more music like this by Night Crawlers see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
3	Jazz Central Station Global Jazz Poll Winners, Vol. 1 (1963) more music like this by Various Artists Featuring the winners of an online fan poll, Jazz Central Station features "JCS All Stars Theme" (written by and featuring Dave Grusin), the GRP All-Star Big Band's "Cookin' at the Continental," Miles Davis' "Seven Steps to Heaven," Fourplay's "Play Lady Play" and Joshua Redman's "Mischief." Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $15.11!
4	Finger Poppin' with the Horace Silver Quintet (1959) more music like this by Horace Silver Quintet Finger Poppin' was the first album Horace Silver recorded with the most celebrated version of his quintet, which featured trumpeter Blue Mitchell, tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, bassist Gene Taylor, and (this time around) drummer Louis Hayes. It's also one of Silver's all-time classics, perfectly blending the pianist's advanced, groundbreaking ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
5	Retrospective (1999) more music like this by Horace Silver Career-spanning retrospectives are always difficult to pull off in jazz, since the music is often about the moment. An artist can peak for a few years, and that's what's worth hearing -- the rest is interesting, but not quite as compelling, as a lengthy four-disc box set can prove. That certainly isn't the case with the four-disc Horace Silver ... see all copies from $56.49! new only from $56.49!
6	Cookin' at the Continental (1991) more music like this by James Clay Tenor saxophonist James Clay had a brief comeback starting in 1988 before he passed away in 1995. This is one of his final recordings. Most interesting is a duet with bassist Christian McBride on "Crazeology." There are also four quartet numbers (with McBride, pianist Kirk Lightsey, and drummer Winard Harper) and four selections that are reunions ... see all copies from $7.00!
7	Holding on to What Counts (2007) more music like this by Chip Stephens Chip Stephens' third CD (his first for Capri) is an adventurous session. The pianist is well supported by bassist Ken Walker and drummer Todd Reid as they delve into standards, landmark jazz compositions, and the leader's stimulating originals. The rollicking take of Horace Silver's "Cookin' at the Continental," the aggressive, polyrhythmic ... see all copies from $12.54! new only from $12.54!
8	All Blues (1994) more music like this by GRP All-Star Big Band see all copies from $4.95! new only from $41.73!
9	The Jazz Giants Play Horace Silver: Opus de Funk (1954) more music like this by Various Artists Now here is a really enterprising subject for a songbook album -- a composer who was not a Tin Pan Alley pop craftsman and whose output had not been anthologized until this release. True, Silver wrote fewer standards than, say, Porter or the Gershwins, and fewer jazz artists covered them, thus limiting Fantasy's choices (the zany Eddie Jefferson ... see all copies from $35.00! new only from $50.32!
10	We Meet Again (1988) more music like this by Ramsey Lewis with Billy Taylor Billy Taylor (p) takes the date, but Lewis shows chops he seldom taps these days. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.10!
11 view cover	The Best of Horace Silver, Vol. 1 (1953) more music like this by Horace Silver Taking in Horace Silver's fertile '50s stretch (volume two covers the '60s), this Blue Note best-of disc is the perfect introductory set for listeners new to the hard bop giant. One of the first of the soul-jazz innovators (listen to that gospel-fired left hand and all that dancefloor-friendly material), Silver also wrote some of the most original ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
12 view cover	Off Broadway (2000) more music like this by Frank Vignola This album might be subtitled "Frank Vignola Plays the Music of Joe Ascione," as six of the tunes were penned by the talented drummer. Others in the group who collect royalties by having their compositions performed on this album are Randy Sandke and John Goldsby, as well as Vignola. There are also some standards on the 15-tune play list. This is ... see all copies from $16.80! new only from $16.80!
13 view cover	Live at CBC Studios, 1960 (1997) more music like this by Oscar Peterson After recording a ton of music in 1959, the Oscar Peterson Trio only made one studio album in 1960 (The Music from Fiorello) and was not documented again until July 28, 1961. This 1997 CD has ten selections recorded for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation but not released commercially until decades later. Pianist Peterson, bassist Ray Brown and ... see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
