1	The Definitive Art Tatum (2002) more music like this by Art Tatum This sampler has 16 Art Tatum recordings reissued in chronological order that date from 1934-1950. All but the closing "Indiana" (which has guitarist Everett Barksdale and bassist Slam Stewart) are unaccompanied piano solos, and they are drawn from the Decca, Capitol, and Verve catalogs. Tatum was always a remarkable virtuoso so, even if this set ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
2	A Man Ain't Supposed to Cry (1958) more music like this by Joe Williams During the mid-'50s, Joe Williams was one of the hottest properties in vocal jazz thanks to a big hit recorded with the Count Basie Orchestra ("Every Day I Have the Blues"). But when he moved from Verve to Roulette a few years later, he modified his version of the big-band blues for his first album with the label. Roulette owner Morris Levy was ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $6.27!
3	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 $24.33! new only from $24.33!
4	Hollywood Stampede (1945) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins Hawkins led one of his finest bands in 1945, a sextet with the fiery trumpeter Howard McGhee that fell somewhere between small-group swing and bebop. This CD contains all of that group's 12 recordings, including memorable versions of "Rifftide" and "Stuffy"; trombonist Vic Dickenson guests on four tracks. This CD concludes with one of Hawkins' ... see all copies from $6.67!
5	Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol. 16 (1991) more music like this by Hank Jones For Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol. 16, Concord persuaded a reigning giant of the piano to record at Maybeck's Yamaha keyboard -- and the result is one of the most musical, and certainly one of the most enjoyable, concerts in the whole series. Recorded closely enough so that you can hear him grunting along with the music, Hank Jones gives full ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
6	Diz and Getz [Remastered] (2001) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy Gillespie was at the peak of his powers throughout the '50s, still the pacesetter among trumpeters. This double CD matches Dizzy with Stan Getz, the Oscar Peterson Trio and drummer Max Roach. Getz, although identified with the "cool" school, thrived on competition and is both relaxed and combative on the up-tempo explorations of "It Don't ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
7	Just You, Just Me (1994) more music like this by Dave Brubeck It had been nearly 40 years since Dave Brubeck's last solo piano recording when he recorded this relaxed set. Brubeck sounds typically creative yet often wistful on the seven standards, four originals, and a "Tribute to Stephen Foster." This is a fine addition to Brubeck's extensive yet consistently satisfying discography. Scott Yanow, All Music ... see all copies from $3.97! new only from $10.29!
8	Body and Soul (1951) more music like this by Erroll Garner As was the case with Fats Waller, Erroll Garner's natural and advanced musical talent ingratiated him to jazz aficionados and experts alike. Garner took to the piano intuitively, never needing to take lessons because of his exceptional ear for music. Further breaking the mold, he transcended many of the jazz styles he came up with, including both ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
9	Gentle Jug, Vol. 2 (1960) more music like this by Gene Ammons From the late '40s until his death in 1974, Gene Ammons was a stunning ballad player. The fact that Ammons had such an appealing tone certainly didn't hurt, but it was the tenor titan's warmth, soulfulness, and vulnerability that made his ballad playing so irresistible. Assembled in 1995, Gentle Jug, Vol. 2 is an excellent sequel to The Gene ... see all copies from $9.69! new only from $16.65!
10	More Stan Getz for Lovers (2006) more music like this by Stan Getz see all copies from $4.39! new only from $10.29!
11 view cover	Solitaire (1955) more music like this by Erroll Garner On March 14, 1955, Erroll Garner sat down at the piano and played one interesting solo after another, resulting in two albums of music. Seven pieces (all but "That Old Feeling" are taken as ballads) were originally released as Solitaire; this CD reissue adds four additional selections that are taken at faster paces. Although not essential, this ... see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!
12 view cover	Pretty Wild/With Strings Attached (2000) more music like this by Wild Bill Davison The commercial success of Charlie Parker's Bird With Strings sessions of 1949-1950 inspired countless jazz musicians to follow his lead and record albums with string orchestras in the 1950s and 1960s. One of them was Wild Bill Davison, who was joined by lush string orchestras on two Columbia dates: 1956's Pretty Wild (which employs Percy Faith's ... see all copies from $11.55!
13 view cover	Angel Eyes (1960) more music like this by Gene Ammons with Frank Wess and Art Taylor Music from two different occasions are combined on this CD reissue. The four songs from 1960 match the great tenor Gene Ammons with Frank Wess (doubling on flute and tenor), organist Johnny "Hammond" Smith, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Art Taylor. Wess, one of jazz's great flutists, battles Ammons on tenor to a draw on "Water Jug," while the ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
14 view cover	Dakota at Storyville (1961) more music like this by Dakota Staton This album features singer Dakota Staton at her best. Recorded live at Boston's Storyville, Staton sounds quite inspired on such numbers as "Is You Is, Or Is You Ain't My Baby," "Saturday Night Is the Loneliest Night of the Week," "When I Grow Too Old to Dream" (which spontaneously becomes a crowd sing-along), "Mean and Evil Blues" and "Don't Get ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $10.65!
15 view cover	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. Coleman Hawkins created the voice of the tenor saxophone in jazz, maintaining an open mind throughout his career ... see all copies from $10.71! new only from $10.71!
16 view cover	The Best Thing for Me (1998) more music like this by Ben Aronov Ben Aronov has been on the jazz scene for quite a while, but has made few recordings as a leader, making this 1997 session long overdue. This well-crafted date displays his readily apparent imagination and chops. The mix of music comes from Broadway ("It's All Right With Me"), bop (Charlie Parker's "Air Conditioning"), Latin jazz ("Tin Tin Deo"), ... see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
17 view cover	Carrying the Torch (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Carrying the Torch features a number of well-regarded jazz performers from the early half of the 20th century. You get big names like Duke Ellington ("I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good"), Frank Sinatra ("One I Love [Belongs to Somebody Else]"), Stan Kenton ("I Told Ya I Love Ya, Now Get Out"), Judy Garland ("But Not for Me"), Nat "King" Cole ("I ... see all copies from $13.53! new only from $13.53!
18	So Smooth (1955) more music like this by Perry Como The month that Perry Como moved up to a one-hour TV variety show, he also released his first 12" LP, So Smooth. Like such peers as Frank Sinatra and Nat "King" Cole, Como viewed the LP format differently from the singles market, eschewing the kind of novelties he was recording for 45/78 release in favor of collections devoted to well-known ... see all copies from $8.75!
19	Echoes Of Chicago (1999) more music like this by Art Hodes In 1978 Art Hodes led this fine septet set in Atlanta, mostly using local players in addition to cornetist Ernie Carson and bass saxophonist Spencer Clark. The original eight songs from the LP are here (swing and Dixieland standards including "Sunday," "You're Driving Me Crazy," and "Walking My Baby Back Home") plus two alternate takes of "Sunday" ... see all copies from $14.67! new only from $14.67!
20 view cover	Swinging on a Star (1993) more music like this by Joe Augustine When a jazzman is as sentimental as Joe Augustine, he runs the risk of not being taken seriously by bop purists. Such purists will tell you that jazz should never be too sentimental -- they insist that the essence of jazz is musicians playing John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" or Sonny Rollins' "Oleo" as fast as they possibly can and trying to impress ... see all copies from $3.49!
21 view cover	White Jazz (2000) more music like this by Casa Loma Orchestra see all copies from $12.27! new only from $14.37!
22 view cover	Lester Swings [Verve] (1946) more music like this by Lester Young In selecting a little over an hour's worth of excerpts from the eight-CD box set The Complete Lester Young Studio Sessions on Verve for this highlights disc, the compilers have resisted the urge to stick with only a collection of Young's more accomplished early works and included a few examples of his deteriorated, but still moving, later work. ... see all copies from $3.42! new only from $7.99!
23 view cover	Swing Sessions (1945) more music like this by Benny Goodman This CD contains previously unreleased performances by Benny Goodman that were originally recorded for the Armed Forces Radio Service during 1945-46. Four selections feature his short-lived big band of the era and these sport arrangements by Eddie Sauter, Mel Powell and Fletcher Henderson (a reworking of "Somebody Stole My Gal"). In addition to a ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $8.98!
24 view cover	The Best of the War Years (2002) more music like this by Perry Como Back in the '60s and '70s, no artist underscored the gap between the World War II generation and the baby boomers more than Perry Como. To the boomers (many of them, anyway), he was square, dated, and unhip -- music your parents listened to while you were off in another room cranking the Doors, Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, or Led Zeppelin. And ... see all copies from $10.66! new only from $10.66!
25 view cover	Dream Dancing, Vol. 5: Dancing for Lovers (2002) more music like this by Ray Anthony see all copies from $14.50! new only from $14.50!
