1	Boss Guitar (1963) more music like this by Wes Montgomery Guitarist Wes Montgomery's string of brilliant straight-ahead jazz recordings for the Riverside label was near its end when he recorded this trio outing with organist Melvin Rhyne and drummer Jimmy Cobb. The music swings hard and is highlighted by "Besame Mucho," "Days of Wine and Roses," "Canadian Sunset" and "The Breeze and I." Enjoyable if not ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
2	Trio '64 (1963) more music like this by Bill Evans Joining Bill Evans (piano) on Trio '64 (1964) -- his initial first three-piece recording for Verve -- is the compact rhythm section of Gary Peacock (bass) and Paul Motian (drums). The effort spotlights their communal and intuitive musical discourse, hinging on an uncanny ability of the musicians to simultaneously hear and respond. All the more ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
3	But Beautiful (1969) more music like this by Nancy Wilson Nancy Wilson has been on the fringes of jazz throughout her career, mostly performing middle-of-the-road pop and R&B. Most of her albums were major productions, but this CD reissue of But Beautiful is quite different. On a relaxed and tasteful program of ballads (including three previously unreleased numbers), Wilson sounds properly expressive and ... see all copies from $5.60! new only from $11.13!
4	Lady in Satin [Columbia 17 Track] (1958) more music like this by Billie Holiday This is the most controversial of all Billie Holiday records. Lady Day herself said that this session (which finds her accompanied by Ray Ellis' string orchestra) was her personal favorite, and many listeners have found her emotional versions of such songs as "I'm a Fool to Want You," "You Don't Know What Love Is," "Glad to Be Unhappy," and ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $8.50!
5	Bill Evans for Lovers (2004) more music like this by Bill Evans As part of Verve's For Lovers series, pianist Bill Evans is spotlighted on 11 tracks recorded between 1962 and 1970. This romantic set of standards aptly highlights Evans' melancholic light touch, especially on "But Beautiful," "Spring Is Here," "My Foolish Heart," "Lover Man," and "If You Could See Me Now." Stan Getz, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones, ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
6	Mosaic Select: Bobby Hutcherson (2007) more music like this by Bobby Hutcherson The triple-disc Mosaic Select Series has been, in some ways, more rewarding than even its limited-edition box set collections. While these are numbered and limited as well, they tend to shine light either on artists who have never gotten their due, or those who, while certainly respected, have an entire pocket of their careers largely ignored for ... see all copies from $50.98! new only from $50.98!
7	A Jazz Romance: A Night in With Verve (2001) more music like this by Various Artists In jazz, ballads have a way of separating the men from the boys and the women from the girls. They show what an improviser is made of emotionally. On ballads, technique for the sake of technique doesn't cut it -- you have to bring some genuine feeling and honest-to-God emotion to the table. And there is plenty of honest-to-God emotion on this four ... see all copies from $24.87! new only from $24.87!
8	Smooth As the Wind (1960) more music like this by Blue Mitchell Trumpeter Blue Mitchell is in excellent form on this very interesting session that has been reissued on CD. Mitchell is accompanied by a brass section, a rhythm section, and strings. The arrangements (seven by Tadd Dameron and three from Benny Golson) are generally quite stimulating, inspiring the trumpeter to come up with many fresh melodic solos ... see all copies from $13.00!
9	Lady in Satin [SACD] (1958) more music like this by Billie Holiday This is the most controversial of all Billie Holiday records. "Lady Day" herself said that this session (which finds her accompanied by the Ray Ellis Orchestra was her personal favorite, and many listeners have found her emotional versions of such songs as "I'm a Fool to Want You," "You Don't Know What Love Is," "Glad to Be Unhappy," and ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $18.22!
10	Bill Evans's Finest Hour (2001) more music like this by Bill Evans Bill Evans's Finest Hour represents a number of choice tidbits recorded by the pianist between 1958 and 1970 for Verve. The settings of these recordings range between the intricate trio work he became so identified with to, in at least one instance, full orchestration. While Evans is certainly capable of bopping with the best on songs like "Luck ... see all copies from $2.50! new only from $10.44!
11 view cover	For the Moment (1995) more music like this by Elias Haslanger Elias Haslanger, on his second recording as a leader, sounds like a light-toned John Coltrane on "Miles' Mode" and takes a stop-time chorus à la Sonny Rollins on "Cherokee," but mostly displays his own voice and high-energy style. The music on For the Moment is forward-looking hard bop, featuring Haslanger's tenor in a Texas-based quartet with ... see all copies from $3.44! new only from $13.98!
12 view cover	Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note: The Complete Recordings (1994) more music like this by Keith Jarrett The six-CD box set Keith Jarrett at the Blue Note fully documents three nights (six complete sets from June 3-5, 1994) by his trio with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette. Never mind that this same group has already had ten separate releases since 1983; this box is still well worth getting. The repertoire emphasizes (but is not ... see all copies from $92.21! new only from $93.02!
13 view cover	Soul Carnival (1997) more music like this by Doug Lawrence Although he had a solid track record as a sidemen in the 1980s and 1990s that included stints with Loren Schoenberg, Buck Clayton and the Count Basie "ghost orchestra," it wasn't until 1997's Soul Carnival that Doug Lawrence first recorded as a leader. This post-bop/hard bop date reinforced what his work as a sideman had shown: the tenor ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
14 view cover	I Mean You (1993) more music like this by George Trio Cables For this straight-ahead set, pianist George Cables is joined by bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Adam Nussbaum. Cables is heard throughout in top form, reviving Gene Ammons' obscure but appealing "Woofin' and Tweetin'," digging into Thelonious Monk's "I Mean You," recalling Bill Evans on "Who Can I Turn To," and contributing three originals. ... see all copies from $20.22! new only from $20.22!
15 view cover	Renaissance (1994) more music like this by Scott Stephen Trio see all copies from $4.95!
16	Talk to My Lady (1972) more music like this by Gene Russell Quadrophonic album. Sextet with keyboardist/leader. Also features Henry Franklin (b) Ndugu (d). Soul, jazz, and pop here in eight cuts, with three originals from Russell. Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide see all copies from $60.00! new only from $60.00!
17 view cover	Eternal Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Eternal Jazz fits the bill for someone just becoming acquainted with jazz, as it features classic performances. These ten tracks are taken from the vaults of Verve and are available at a budget price. It's hard to go wrong with a lineup that includes Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Bill Evans, and Cannonball Adderly with John Coltrane. ... see all copies from $13.38! new only from $13.38!
18 view cover	Chet Baker Sings and Plays from the Film "Let's Get Lost" (1989) more music like this by Chet Baker This disc includes music used in Let's Get Lost (1989), the Bruce Weber directed biopic centering on the tragic life and times of the West Coast cool jazz icon Chet Baker (trumpet/vocal). As was the case during many of Baker's final sessions, the artist performs with a makeshift combo of relative unknowns. Although Frank Strazzeri (piano), John ... see all copies from $21.75! new only from $21.75!
19 view cover	Instant Heat (1993) more music like this by Roger Neumann It is very surprising that this SeaBreeze CD was Roger Neumann's first release since 1983 for his arrangements are colorful, fairly original and hard-swinging. In addition to all of the charts, he wrote eight of the new set's dozen compositions, plays some fine tenor and is very generous in allocating solo space to his 17 sidemen; in fact every ... see all copies from $18.07! new only from $18.07!
