1	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $14.29! new only from $50.06!
2	Monk's Music (1957) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Monk's Music is often cited as one of the focal points of Thelonious Monk's six-year affiliation (1955-1961) with the Riverside label. Although the original disc clocked in at slightly over 30 minutes, packed into that half hour are not only the introduction of a few of Monk's signature compositions, but also some amazing interactions from the ... see all copies from $5.13! new only from $10.29!
3	Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane (1957) more music like this by Thelonious Monk with John Coltrane What this disc lacks in program time is more than compensated for in content. While the teaming of Thelonious Monk (piano) with John Coltrane (tenor sax) might "look better on paper," as the adage goes, rest assured the results are even better on the disc. These were the same bountiful sessions that produced the Monk's Music and Thelonious Himself ... see all copies from $4.72! new only from $10.29!
4	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Thelonious Monk In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $6.40!
5	Thelonious in Action: Recorded at the Five Spot Cafe (1958) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Quartet One of the most exciting groups that pianist/composer Thelonious Monk ever led was his 1958 quartet with tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, bassist Ahmed Abdul-Malik, and drummer Roy Haynes. During one night at the Five Spot Cafe they recorded enough music to fill up two CDs; all of the performances are also on Monk's large Riverside box set. In ... see all copies from $7.58! new only from $10.29!
6	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 $18.96! new only from $18.96!
7	The Best of the Blue Note Years (1947) more music like this by Thelonious Monk For listeners unsure about diving into Monk's entire Blue Note catalog, this best-of roundup makes for a very fine alternative. Covering his bebop-era work from the late '40s and early '50s, the 16-track collection finds Monk in his early prime with such up-and-coming jazz standards as "Ruby, My Dear," "In Walked Bud," "'Round Midnight," and ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
8	Sound of Love (1998) more music like this by Paul Motian/Bill Frisell/Joe Lovano This live 1995 recording from New York's Village Vanguard club features drummer Paul Motian, guitarist Bill Frisell, and tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano turning in a stellar set of jazz covers and Motian originals (this is the same trio the drummer led in the late '80s and recorded high-profile tributes to Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, and Tin Pan ... see all copies from $16.50! new only from $17.28!
9	A.T.'s Delight (1960) more music like this by Art Taylor Although Art Taylor was one of the busiest modern second-generation jazz drummers, working in the studio with Coleman Hawkins, Donald Byrd, John Coltrane and many others, he only released five albums under his own name, of which A.T.'s Delight was the third. And a delight it is indeed, bright and percussive, and when conga player Carlos "Patato" ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
10	Live at the It Club (1964) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Thelonious Monk was frequently recorded in live settings during his tenure with Columbia, though the original two-LP set wasn't released until 1982, and then only in edited form. Fortunately, the 1998 two-CD reissue restored the tracks to their original lengths, as well as adding three previously unreleased performances. This pair of 1964 dates at ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $10.50!
11 view cover	Round Midnight and Other Jazz Classics (1992) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Round Midnight and Other Jazz Classics is a budget-priced, ten-track selection of some of Thelonious Monk's best-known recordings for Blue Note, and while there are plenty of essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler featuring such standards as "Round Midnight," "Misterioso," "In Walked Bud," "Well You Needn't," ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $5.25!
12 view cover	The Columbia Years: '62-'68 (2001) more music like this by Thelonious Monk This aptly titled triple-disc compilation examines Thelonious Monk's final years as an active recording artist. The Columbia Years: 1962-1968 is a superior primer for those seeking a thorough overview of this fertile, expressive, and oft-maligned period of Monk's career. In addition to embracing the bright moments from Monk's early- to mid-'60s ... see all copies from $20.94!
13 view cover	Monk at Newport 1963 and 1965 (2002) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Thelonious Monk's 1963 Newport Jazz Festival set has been released in whole or part on several different Columbia releases, but this 2002 reissue is the best version yet. One finally gets to hear nothing but Monk on this edition, with the added bonus of a previously unreleased and undocumented appearance from the 1965 festival. The earlier ... see all copies from $33.34! new only from $49.99!
14 view cover	Ethnomusicology, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Russell Gunn Trumpeter Russell Gunn moves to the Canadian indie label Justin Time for the second installment of his Ethnomusicology project, a hybrid of jazz and hip-hop. Like volume one (from 1999), volume two is hobbled by a certain conceptual stiffness and never quite hits its mark. Ultimately, volume one has more to recommend it. There's a paucity of ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $14.89!
15 view cover	Riffin' (2001) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Thelonious Monk's Columbia years in the 1960s aren't always given the same degree of attention as his earlier tenure with Blue Note and Riverside, but never has his eccentric genius for fractal-style composition and skittering, angular piano runs been so well recorded. Monk had found his most sympathetic sideman in tenor sax player Charlie Rouse ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!
16 view cover	Monk in Paris: Live at the Olympia (2003) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Joel Dorn's Hyena Records has been busy with partnerships. This one centers on the estate of Thelonious Monk. The label Thelonious Records was formed by Monk's son T.S. Monk and Peter Grain to open its vaults for the first time and issue unreleased live recordings that were both officially sanctioned and bootlegged. If this set, the second of a ... see all copies from $11.53! new only from $11.53!
17 view cover	The Very Best (2005) more music like this by Thelonious Monk This succinct collection brings together a Monk's dozen from Thelonious Monk's nearly five-year stay (1947-1952) with Blue Note Records, including early recordings of such Monk standards as "Ruby My Dear," "Well, You Needn't," and "In Walked Bud," as well as his twin signature pieces, "'Round Midnight" and "Straight, No Chaser." Also here are ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
18 view cover	Live in Paris, Vol. 2 (1964) more music like this by Thelonious Monk For Volume Two/set two of the February 23, 1964 live performances in Paris by the Thelonious Monk quartet, show time is just under an hour, and near the mid-point, the inspiration level palpably increases. This upgrade is most noticeable during a spirited "Hackensack" where Monk is markedly involved harmonically, but especially on the following ... see all copies from $12.82! new only from $12.82!
19 view cover	The French Connection (2000) more music like this by DJ Cam Borrowing the wider name recognition of mixer DJ Cam, its compadre in the French rap scene, the Parisian avant-hip-hop imprint Artefact Records released this 2000 label retrospective, with tracks from ten different producers. Though none of these artists are well-known in the international electronic community, they acquit themselves quite well, ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
20 view cover	Duets: Associates (1997) more music like this by Steve Lacy Each of these ten tracks feature Steve Lacy in duo performances. Compiled by the soprano saxophonist, and not released until 1997, there are highlights galore throughout, making this an essential recording for any admirer of Lacy's work. Each tune (most of which were composed by Lacy) features him with a different partner, including trombonists ... see all copies from $17.33! new only from $17.33!
21 view cover	Epistrophy (1988) more music like this by Charlie Rouse Although he had an extensive career, tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse is best remembered for his decade (1960-1970) as a member of the Thelonious Monk Quartet. It is only right that the last time that he picked up his horn was for a Monk tribute concert. This historic event, originally released by Landmark and reissued with one extra selection on a ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
22 view cover	Reflections of Monk (1988) more music like this by Gary Bartz see all copies from $10.22! new only from $17.03!
23 view cover	Fo'tet Plays Monk (1995) more music like this by Ralph Peterson Drummer Ralph Peterson's recordings are always stimulating and somewhat surprising. For this set, his "Fo'tet" consists of the leader, soprano saxophonist Steve Wilson, vibraphonist Bryan Carrott and bassist Belden Bullock. Their tribute to Thelonious Monk features the unit (which does not include a pianist) playing nine Monk tunes (including such ... see all copies from $16.40! new only from $16.40!
24 view cover	Somewhere Along the Way (1998) more music like this by Buster Williams see all copies from $9.98! new only from $15.35!
25 view cover	Monk in Motian (1988) more music like this by Paul Motian This is an utterly fascinating tribute to the music of Thelonious Monk. Most of the selections feature the unusual trio of tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, guitarist Bill Frisell (who with his wide range of original sounds is really a one-band band), and drummer Paul Motian. Tenor saxophonist Dewey Redman and pianist Geri Allen are guests on two ... see all copies from $15.27! new only from $15.27!
