1	Way Back Home (1996) more music like this by The Crusaders The music on this four-CD box set is mostly excellent, and this is not a bad sampler of the recordings of the (Jazz) Crusaders, but there are some problems. The 1961-70 group is covered much too quickly in the first disc, and the last two discs jump around chronologically throughout the '70s. The lack of recording dates is rather inexcusable, and ... see all copies from $53.36! new only from $53.36!
2	Blues + Jazz (1993) more music like this by Ray Charles Another easy access point for Charles' seminal Atlantic catalog. This two-disc set is evenly split between his bluesiest sides on the first disc and a selection of his greatest jazz sides on disc two (gorgeously showcasing the sax work of David "Fathead" Newman on several pieces). Charles was a masterful blues purveyor; his "I Believe to My Soul" ... see all copies from $33.25! new only from $33.25!
3	Scratch (1974) more music like this by The Crusaders Recorded live at the Roxy, Scratch was one of the Crusaders' best recordings, an extravaganza of jazz and funk with great soloing from the group on top of a set of excellent grooves. From the loose-limbed funk of "Scratch" to a restless, understated version of their live standard "Eleanor Rigby" (which they'd been performing live for over six ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.35!
4	Old Socks, New Shoes...New Socks, Old Shoes (1970) more music like this by The Jazz Crusaders Old Socks, New Shoes...New Socks, Old Shoes was the final album by the Jazz Crusaders. Immediately thereafter they dropped the word "jazz" from their name, leaving them the Crusaders and most of the rest is history. This killer set was released on the Chisa label in 1970 and distributed by Motown. While the Jazz Crusaders had long made then ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
5	Return to the Wide Open Spaces (1990) more music like this by Various Artists For this live concert recorded at the Caravan of Dreams in Fort Worth, a mostly all-star group of Texas jazzmen (plus pianist Ellis Marsalis from New Orleans) was gathered together. The music, which includes four blues and three standards among its nine selections, lacks any real surprises. Most of the numbers have solos by Fathead Newman on alto, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
6	Fire! Live at the Village Vanguard (1988) more music like this by David "Fathead" Newman For this excellent all-around date, David "Fathead" Newman and a fine rhythm section (pianist Kirk Lightsey, vibraphonist Steve Nelson, bassist David Williams and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith) are joined by tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine on "Wide Open Spaces" (a tune that years earlier Newman had recorded with fellow tenor James Clay), ... see all copies from $5.61!
7	Fathead: Ray Charles Presents David Newman (1958) more music like this by David "Fathead" Newman The talented David Newman, who alternates on this album between tenor and alto, made his debut as a leader at this session. Since he was in Ray Charles' band at the time, Newman was able to use Charles on piano along with Hank Crawford (here called "Bennie Crawford") on baritone, trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, bassist Edgar Willis, and drummer Milt ... see all copies from $8.84! new only from $8.84!
8	Collectables Classics [Box Set] (2006) more music like this by David "Fathead" Newman Collectables Classics is simply a packaging idea from those label heads who feel that there reissues need a new face. Hence, this "box set" that is simply a wooden box containing individual albums either already issued by the label as reissues, or recently licensed by them. Here are five albums on four discs. David "Fathead" Newman fans will ... see all copies from $50.40! new only from $50.40!
9	Unsung Heroes (1973) more music like this by The Crusaders The music on this Crusaders set is quite pleasant, but unfortunately none of the original melodies are all that catchy or unique; a remake of "Hard Times" (which was recorded by David Newman back in 1960) is easily the most memorable cut and a revisit to Joe Sample's "Freedom Sound" from the early days of the Jazz Crusaders is under two minutes ... see all copies from $6.00!
10	It's Mister Fathead (1958) more music like this by David Newman Although best known as a tenor saxophonist, David "Fathead" Newman is an equally talented altoist and flutist. This 1998 double CD brings back Newman's first four sets as a leader (originally made for the Atlantic label), and the dates give one a definitive portrait of Newman in a variety of jazz settings. Ray Charles Presents David Newman (which ... see all copies from $48.55! new only from $48.55!
11	The Best of David Newman (1970) more music like this by David "Fathead" Newman see all copies from $25.00!
