Conception

Conception (1951) more music like this

by Miles Davis With Stan Getz and Lee Konitz

A unique all-star set recorded in various combinations between 1949 and 1951, Conception is an underappreciated masterpiece of cerebral cool jazz. Although Miles Davis gets top billing, he appears on only half the album and then most often as a sideman with only occasional solos. Saxophonists Lee Konitz, Stan Getz, and Gerry Mulligan are the true ...

Solid (1964) more music like this

by Grant Green

Solid is a companion piece to the Grant Green classic Matador, recorded about a month later with the same rhythm section, and also not issued until 1979. Green is once again accompanied by the Coltrane supporting team of pianist McCoy Tyner and drummer Elvin Jones, plus bassist Bob Cranshaw; this time, however, Green is also joined on the front ...

Ezz-Thetics [Bonus Tracks] (2007) more music like this

by George Russell

This is a true classic. Composer/pianist George Russell gathered together a very versatile group of talents (trumpeter Don Ellis, trombonist Dave Baker, Eric Dolphy on alto and bass clarinet, bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer Joe Hunt) to explore three of his originals, "'Round Midnight" (which is given an extraordinary treatment by Dolphy), ...

The Best of Grant Green, Vol. 1

The Best of Grant Green, Vol. 1 (1961) more music like this

by Grant Green

While the "best-of" format often leaves quite a bit to be desired in a jazz setting, this set contains good Green material from his most productive period, the early and mid-'60s. There's a nice mix between uptempo and slower numbers, standards and his own compositions, as well as soul jazz and straight mainstream and bop material. Although this ...

Evolution of a Genius

Evolution of a Genius (1988) more music like this

by Miles Davis

This is a nice sounding comp from the very reliable Giants of Jazz imprint, covering Miles' earliest years in the groups of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie's Orchestra, Bud Powell, and leading his own early ensembles between 1945 and 1953. Clocking in at just over 70 minutes, this disc may be a little light on notes, but the material is all top ...

by Miles Davis

This eight-CD set does indeed have all 17 of trumpeter Miles Davis' Prestige sessions. The music is also available in separate CDs in the Original Jazz Classics series. Most significant are the many performances by Davis' classic quintet of 1955-1956 with tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer ...

Emergence (2007) more music like this

by Bill Evans

Aside from about 48 minutes' worth of amateur home recordings from the 1940s issued in 2000 by the E3 label, Fivefour's Emergence contains what appear to be Bill Evans' earliest appearances on record as a promising young professional jazz pianist. Within this intriguing time capsule of recordings from 1955 and 1956, Evans is heard as part of a ...

Complete Studio Recordings [The Max Roach Quintet] (2006) more music like this

by Max Roach/Kenny Dorham/Sonny Rollins

The superb modern jazz material in this set is hardly an example of the genre as a neglected, unheard entity. Drummer Max Roach reached a wide audience with his band-leading activities, impressing most listeners if not bowling them over entirely with the outstanding quality of his bandstand mates.,Improvisers know that with Roach on the drums ...
