1	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!
2	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 $11.13! new only from $11.13!
3	Birk's Works: Verve Big Band Sessions (1956) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy Gillespie's globetrotting big band of 1956-1957 was one of his finest groups, a very exciting orchestra that at various times had such players as trumpeters Gillespie, Joe Gordon, and Lee Morgan, trombonists Melba Liston and Al Grey, altoists Phil Woods and Ernie Henry, the tenors of Billy Mitchell, Ernie Wilkins, and Benny Golson, and ... see all copies from $13.97! new only from $20.94!
4	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 $23.63!
5	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie It's impossible to grasp the complete scope of trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and showman Dizzy Gillespie's influence on jazz. However, this companion release to Ken Burns' PBS documentary Jazz is an admirable attempt, providing a brief glimpse of Dizzy's pioneering bebop and Afro-Cuban jazz brilliance on a single 16-track disc. The disc ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
6	Odyssey: 1945-1952 (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This excellent three-disc set contains 64 great songs performed by Dizzy Gillespie and company in varied settings. Odyssey: 1945-1952 chronicles the master trumpeter in small groups, big bands, a session with strings, and also some blues. Among the rare treats on the collection are a full-fledged Gillespie big band score "Interlude (A Night in ... see all copies from $42.11! new only from $42.11!
7	The Best of Odyssey 1945-1952 (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie The Best of Odyssey 1945-1952 is a solid compilation of Savoy sides recorded by jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie at the peak of his career. Included here are such bebop gems as "He Beeped When He Should Have Bopped" and "School Days." Matt Collar, All Music Guide see all copies from $16.15! new only from $16.15!
8	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!
9	Groovin' High [BCI] (2000) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $2.45! new only from $3.32!
10	Dizzy Atmosphere [Direct Source] (2000) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
11 view cover	Shaw Nuff (1945) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This CD has Dizzy Gillespie's classic Musicraft sides (all except "A Handfulla Gimme"), some of the most famous recordings of his long career. These influential performances (which set the standard for bebop) include "Blue 'N' Boogie" (with tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon), seven gems with Charlie Parker (highlighted by "Groovin' High," "Hot House ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $10.72!
12 view cover	Dizzy Gillespie and the Double Six of Paris (1963) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie/Bud Powell/Kenny Barron/James Moody This odd (but successful) matchup finds The Double Six of Paris singing vocalese in French to a dozen bebop classics associated with Dizzy Gillespie. Gillepie with pianist Bud Powell and a rhythm section take solos that uplift this date; two songs feature his quintet (with James Moody on alto). Not for all tastes, this is a unique addition to ... see all copies from $24.11! new only from $24.11!
13 view cover	Complete Savoy and Dial Studio Sessions (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $111.30! new only from $111.30!
14 view cover	Groovin' High [Savoy] (1945) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This 1992 CD reissue from Japanese Denon is certainly filled with classic music, but this is a so-so, lightweight reissue (a reproduction of a '50s LP but obviously in a smaller size), because there are only 13 selections (an LP's worth of material), the liner notes are dated and breezy, and the complete sessions are not included The great ... see all copies from $9.35! new only from $9.35!
15 view cover	Settin' the Pace [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Dexter Gordon One of the most important yet overlooked figures in jazz is given his due with this amazing four-disc set on Proper. Going for the label's usual bargain-basement rate (roughly 20 dollars a pop), Settin' the Pace rounds up 55 of the tenor innovator's bop sides from the latter half of the '40s. Replete with a handsome and bulky booklet full of ... see all copies from $16.64! new only from $16.64!
16 view cover	Bird of Paradise [Prism] (2000) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $3.32! new only from $3.32!
17 view cover	Oo Bop (1945) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie A ragtag of sessions from 1945, 1946, 1952, and 1953. The 1945 cuts (including "Salt Peanuts") also have Charlie Parker aboard; the ones from 1946 are less innovative and far more commercial-minded, with Alice Roberts on vocals. There's also a number with strings from 1953, and a selection ("Perdido") from the famous 1953 Massey Hall concert with ... see all copies from $8.17! new only from $8.17!
18 view cover	Career: 1937-1992 (2005) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Any two-disc collection -- no matter how well-intentioned, as this one most certainly is -- that aims to cover a career 53 years long is going to be full of holes. That said, Shout Factory's handsomely packaged label-crossing Career: 1937-1992 tries hard. Beginning with Gillespie's tenure in the NBC Orchestra led by Teddy Hill, Diz can be heard ... see all copies from $26.50! new only from $26.50!
19 view cover	52nd & Broadway: Songs of the Bebop Era (2004) more music like this by Terry Gibbs Terry Gibbs has left an indelible mark on the jazz world since 1947. With more than 65 albums to his credit and as the creator of over 300 compositions, the vibist continues to impress his fans with the addition of 52nd & Broadway: Songs of the Bebop Era to his repertoire. Gibbs pays homage to the jazz artists and their timeless standards with the ... see all copies from $16.26! new only from $16.26!
20 view cover	School Days [Bonus Tracks] (2003) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie An old recording from 1951, this album has been re-released on Columbia from the old Savoy/Regent recordings. The blowing is insane in spots -- in "Pop's Confessin," Dizzy tries to hit the loudest, highest, longest note possible (à la Roy Eldridge). Joe Carroll provides some humor in his vocal work (often performing in duet with Dizzy). Milt ... see all copies from $6.61! new only from $6.61!
21 view cover	Central Avenue Sounds: Jazz in Los Angeles 1921-1956 (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Los Angeles is not usually seen as a hotbed of African-American musical creativity in the first half of the 20th century, but this deluxe box set deflates that misconception in a hurry. From 1921 to 1956 -- the time frame covered by the four discs of Central Avenue Sounds -- jazz of all kinds flourished on Central Avenue, L.A.'s main stem of sepia ... see all copies from $54.53! new only from $54.53!
22 view cover	Diz N Bird (1999) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $3.32! new only from $3.32!

24 view cover	Timeless (2002) more music like this by Miles Davis see all copies from $11.23! new only from $11.23!
25 view cover	BD Jazz (2004) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie see all copies from $20.74! new only from $20.74!
