Proper's The Lester Young Story is an excellent introduction to this man's phenomenal artistry.

3	Down Home (1960) more music like this by Zoot Sims Tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims recorded on a regular basis as a leader for most of 45 years, and virtually all of his many sessions are worth acquiring. Sims's Bethlehem date also gives one a look at the great pianist Dave McKenna in his early days, along with bassist George Tucker and drummer Dannie Richmond. Sims mostly explores standards from the ... see all copies from $5.06! new only from $5.85!
4	Celebrating Grappelli (1997) more music like this by Stephane Grappelli/Martin Taylor/Django Band Celebrating Grappelli was issued shortly after the legendary jazz violinist's death on December 1, 1997; it is actually under guitarist Martin Taylor's leadership, with Grappelli as an overdubbed guest on three tracks plus three duets repeated from their Reunion CD recorded in 1993.

5	Golden Greats (2002) more music like this by Count Basie This three-disc compilation competes well with Definitive's Complete 1941-1951 Columbia Recordings. Featuring a similar track listing and good sound quality, this may be the way to go for serious collectors. Fans looking for a more concise single-disc overview would do better to check out something like Ken Burns Jazz Basie collection. Matt ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $17.15!

7	Born to Play (1999) more music like this by Ruby Braff At 71, cornetist Ruby Braff was still in prime form at the time of this interesting project. Braff decided to try something different so he utilized clarinetist Kenny Davern, three guitarists (Howard Alden, Bucky Pizzarelli and Jon Wheatley), two bassists (Michael Moore and Marshall Wood) and drummer Jim Gwin. The unusual six-piece rhythm section ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!

McConnell's swinging arrangements are full of subtle creativity, as shown during fresh versions of "If ... see all copies from $6.95!
10	Quartets (1999) more music like this by Gerry Mulligan see all copies from $7.03! new only from $7.03!
11 view cover	One O'Clock Jump [ASV/Living Era] (2004) more music like this by Count Basie One O'Clock Jump spotlights many of Count Basie's best-known and most popular performances for Decca Records between 1932 and 1947. Figuring prominently in both the Basie-led orchestra and small combos are Lester Young and Herschel Evans on tenors, trumpeters Buck Clayton and Harry "Sweets" Edison, and blues shouter Jimmy Rushing, not to mention ... see all copies from $22.09! new only from $22.09!
12 view cover	West Coast Jazz [Saga] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists French label Saga Jazz is essentially a reissue house that specializes in compilations, mostly by single artists who have performed extensively in the country, from Louis Armstrong and Dexter Gordon to Chet Baker, Count Basie, and Oscar Peterson. They also do various-artists collections, and this one is a fine example of the takeoff point for West ... see all copies from $6.47! new only from $6.47!
13 view cover	West Coast Jazz (2005) more music like this by Shorty Rogers see all copies from $17.47! new only from $17.47!
14 view cover	Jazz in Hollywood (1953) more music like this by Herbie Harper Although somewhat forgotten today, Herbie Harper was one of jazz's top trombonists of the 1950s. Even with the time he spent doing studio work, Harper was closely involved in the West Coast jazz movement in Los Angeles. This CD, whose music is also available as part of Fresh Sound's three-CD Complete Nocturne Recordings Vol. 1, has Harper's two ... see all copies from $9.00!
15 view cover	1939 (1939) more music like this by Count Basie This CD has Count Basie's last three sessions for Decca and his first recordings for the Columbia/Vocalion labels. One of his tenor stars, Herschel Evans, had just passed away and is replaced by Chu Berry on one date before Buddy Tate became his permanent replacement. Otherwise, the band's very strong personnel remained the same. The first four ... see all copies from $46.58!
16 view cover	Easy Does It: 1936-40 (1996) more music like this by Lester Young As a premier member of Count Basie's early big bands and Kansas City 6, Lester Young certainly stakes a claim as a great jazz saxophonist, but on this CD, not as a leader. Of the 24 cuts, the Basie band is the focal point, but it is also advertised that Billy Holiday (sic) is featured. She is on one track, and in fact there are more collective ... see all copies from $6.95! new only from $6.95!
17 view cover	Allan and Allen (2001) more music like this by Allan Vaché & Harry Allen This studio session featuring clarinetist Allan Vache and tenor saxophonist Harry Allen together was a long overdue idea, since they had worked together frequently at jazz festivals and parties; they're joined by a first-class rhythm section of pianist Eddie Higgins, bassist Phil Flanigan, and drummer Eddie Metz. Most of the material consists of ... see all copies from $15.77! new only from $15.77!
18 view cover	Complete Original American Decca Recordings (2001) more music like this by Count Basie see all copies from $47.70! new only from $47.70!
19 view cover	Jive at Five (1960) more music like this by Joe Newman Quintet Originally put out on the Swingville label, this CD reissue is very much in the Count Basie vein. That fact is not too surprising when one considers that the quintet includes three members of Basie's men: trumpeter Joe Newman, tenor saxophonist Frank Wess and bassist Eddie Jones. Joined by the complementary pianist Tommy Flanagan and drummer ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!

23 view cover	Complete Recordings [Quintet/Sextet with Herbie Harper & Jack Montrose] (2005) more music like this by Bob Gordon Quintet/Sextet Bob Gordon had the potential to be one of the great baritone-saxophonists in jazz history. His death in a car accident in 1955 when he was only 27 cut short his life and career, and he is now permanently thought of as part of the West Coast jazz scene. Born in St. Louis, he moved to Los Angeles in 1948 and settled on playing the baritone in 1951, ... see all copies from $9.28! new only from $9.28!
24 view cover	The Pacific Jazz Years (2008) more music like this by The Original Bud Shank Quartet Alto saxophonist and flutist Bud Shank was one of the titans of the West Coast jazz scene in the 1950s and early '60s. His many recordings revealed him to be as much a Charlie Parker disciple as Art Pepper, but Shank's tone was less pointed and his use of space relied as much on melody as rhythm. This two-disc Giant Steps compilation contains ... see all copies from $23.72! new only from $23.72!
25 view cover	Jazz Greats of Our Time: Complete Recordings (2004) more music like this by Manny Albam Manny Albam led many fine all-star big bands assembled specifically for recording sessions, and this compilation combines two related Coral LPs into a double-CD set. The first volume is a star-studded disc with Gerry Mulligan, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims, and Phil Woods in the reed section; Bob Brookmeyer, Nick Travis, and Art Farmer making up the brass ... see all copies from $9.93! new only from $9.93!
