1	Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn (1991) more music like this by Joe Henderson With the release of this CD, the executives at Verve and their marketing staff proved that yes, indeed, jazz can sell. The veteran tenor Joe Henderson has had a distinctive sound and style of his own ever since he first entered the jazz major leagues yet he has spent long periods in relative obscurity before reaching his current status as a jazz ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $10.14!
2	For My Father (2005) more music like this by Hank Jones Grand jazz master pianist and octogenarian Hank Jones is accompanied here by bassist George Mraz and drummer Dennis Mackrel. The program is a collection of jazz and pop standards that Jones has undoubtedly played countless times before, and it matters not a whit. His sense of refinement, elegance, and swing saturates the proceedings. Whether it's ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
3	Got My Mojo Workin'/Hoochie Cooche Man (1965) more music like this by Jimmy Smith After leading a series of notable jam sessions for Blue Note, organist Jimmy Smith signed a lucrative contract with Verve in 1962. Throughout the remainder of the decade, he recorded songs that ranged from treasures to trash, turning most of the music into bluesy vamps. On this CD, a reissue of the LPs Got My Mojo Workin' and Hoochie Cooche Man, ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.14!
4	West Coast Swing (2001) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $6.17! new only from $6.17!
5	Seven Men in Neckties: History of the Micros, Vol. 1 (2006) more music like this by Microscopic Septet The Microscopic Septet recorded sporadically during its decade or so of existence, though this unusual group has captivated those who have discovered their work. Co-founders Phillip Johnston (soprano sax) and Joel Forrester (piano) wrote most of the group's material, featuring some twisted swing that borders on Raymond Scott-like novelty at times, ... see all copies from $19.18! new only from $19.18!
6	Ellington Masterpieces (1988) more music like this by Conducting American Jazz Orchestra with John Lewis With musicological thoroughness, some crack musicians and the best of intentions, John Lewis leads New York's American Jazz Orchestra in 15 transcriptions from one of Duke Ellington's prime periods (1940-43), plus "Rockin' In Rhythm" from 1930. If you had not heard the originals, you would probably come away from these reinterpretations ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.21!
7	Lush Life: The Billy Strayhorn Songbook (1950) more music like this by Various Artists As an informal soundtrack for his revealing biography of Billy Strayhorn, Lush Life, David Hajdu selected and annotated the tracks for this rambling dig through the PolyGram archives. In doing so, Hajdu ranges far afield in date and idiom, yet the overall impression is amazingly consistent Strayhorn as an elegant yet haunted musical figure whose ... see all copies from $5.42!
8	Minor Miracle (2004) more music like this by Holly Hofmann Quartet Holly Hofmann is one of the top flautists in jazz, though she was classically trained. Joined by pianist Mike Wofford (who is also her husband), bassist Peter Washington and drummer Victor Lewis, she kicks off with a mini-tribute to the late Ray Brown. Brown's samba arrangement of Cole Porter's "Everything I Love" and his own funky "CRS-Craft" ... see all copies from $13.74! new only from $13.74!
9	Don Ellis [Giants of Jazz] (1998) more music like this by Don Ellis see all copies from $10.00!
10	Bern Concert '89 (1989) more music like this by Newport Jazz Festival All Stars This '89 session recalls the best Jazz at the Philharmonic recordings. It's a straight-out, hard-edged, and friendly but combative date featuring The Newport All Stars playing in Germany. Everyone gets plenty of solo space and uses it to good advantage. Ricky Ford, Scott Hamilton, Oliver Jackson, Eddie Jones, Gray Sargent, Norris Turney, Warren ... see all copies from $6.56!
11 view cover	Portraits in Jazz and Clave (2000) more music like this by Ray Barretto In this program of mainly Afro-Cubanized jazz standards, conga man Barretto assembled an all-star group of friends to complement his regular working New World Spirit band. The icons include longtime friend Kenny Burrell, whose guitar playing is a key component in the makeup of every selection. Bassist Eddie Gomez, tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano and ... see all copies from $44.26!
12 view cover	Billy Strayhorn: Lush Life (2007) more music like this by Billy Strayhorn Despite his crucial role in 20th century jazz and popular music as a songwriter, musician and arranger, Billy Strayhorn is still too often seen as a postscript to the Duke Ellington story -- the two collaborated for nearly three decades. If Strayhorn had done nothing else but compose Ellington's theme "Take the 'A' Train" (oddly absent from this ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $4.56!
13 view cover	The Basement Tapes (2003) more music like this by Milt Hinton This posthumously released CD features recordings made by the great bassist Milt Hinton with a number of his friends between 1989 and 1990, all of which are previously unissued. Trumpeter Warren Vache and pianist Janice Friedman are on hand for the first three tracks, including a delightfully brisk "Raincheck," a moving "A Time for Love," and ... see all copies from $9.44! new only from $15.04!
14 view cover	The Strayhorn Touch (1997) more music like this by Duke Ellington The Encore Collection: The Strayhorn Touch is a budget-line collection that contains ten Billy Strayhorn-penned songs associated with Duke Ellington, all taken from the RCA/BMG vaults. Although there are no liner notes on the collection and it feels a little haphazard, it nevertheless makes for a great listen, especially for budget-minded casual ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
15 view cover	Hitting His Stride (1996) more music like this by Chuck Folds A brilliant stride and swing pianist, Chuck Folds gained some attention for his work with Doc Cheatham in the 1980s and '90s. This solo disc is his definitive set and shows how talented a pianist the underrated Folds has always been. The program includes stride classics from James P. Johnson and Fats Waller, along with Folds' exploration of ... see all copies from $10.37! new only from $10.37!
16 view cover	Something to Live for: The Music of Billy Strayhorn (1987) more music like this by Art Farmer This very logical set is a real gem. The lyrical flügelhornist Art Farmer and his quintet (which consists of tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist James Williams, bassist Rufus Reid, and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith) interpret seven of Billy Strayhorn's compositions. Highlights include "Isfahan," "Johnny Come Lately," "Raincheck," and the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
17 view cover	You Know What I Mean (2001) more music like this by DPQ Featuring the tenor and alto saxophones of eminent jazz veteran Bill Perkins, the Danny Pucillo Quartet takes on a play list with four Pucillo originals plus one by guitarist Jinshi Ozaki. Typical of many West Coast groups, Pucillo's four pretty much maintains a cerebral mood, never getting overheated. The name of the game is tightly focused, stay ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.28!
18 view cover	The Best Jazz Is Played with Verve (1993) more music like this by Various Artists The early '90s saw the Verve label revived, reissuing older material, and signing current day artists. This ten-song sampler with four well-known jazz icons plus saxophonist Maceo Parker gave the public a taste of what Verve was offering in a contemporary era, while attempting to stay close to their established tradition. While vocalists Shirley ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.99!
19 view cover	Great Times! Piano Duets with Billy Strayhorn (1950) more music like this by Duke Ellington w/ Billy Strayhorn This CD reissues three unusual combo dates by Duke Ellington. Two of the sessions feature Ellington and his longtime musical partner Billy Strayhorn both playing piano (while assisted by either Wendell Marshall or Joe Shulman on bass and sometimes an unidentified drummer). The futuristic "Tonk" is the best-known performance but all eight numbers ... see all copies from $9.61! new only from $9.61!
20 view cover	Anthology 1928-1954 (2007) more music like this by Duke Ellington Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington was a gifted composer, a brilliant bandleader, and a skilled pianist who, like Fats Waller, learned his craft from James P. Johnson, Luckey Roberts, and Willie "The Lion" Smith. In 2007 the French Cabu label did the world a favor by releasing a double-disc anthology containing some of Duke Ellington's all-time ... see all copies from $11.19! new only from $11.19!
21 view cover	Storyville Ben Webster (2006) more music like this by Ben Webster This 13-cut set in the Storyville Masters of Jazz series is a showcase of Ben Webster at the very end of his career, from 1967-1970 recorded in Europe. There are a number of stellar players on Storyville Ben Webster, including Dexter Gordon, Palle Mikkelborg, Tootie Heath, and of course, a slew of European sessions players who are truly the ... see all copies from $3.87! new only from $11.08!
22 view cover	Happy Birthday, Duke! the Birthday Sessions, Vol. 4 (1992) more music like this by Duke Ellington see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
23 view cover	Lobster and Friend (1993) more music like this by Roy Nathanson/Anthony Coleman Roy Nathanson and Anthony Coleman make an intriguing, thoroughly unpredictable, often delightful duo. This 14-song session, like the work of Nathanson's Jazz Passengers band, spans the gamut of improvisational possibilities. There are songs with extensive collective improvisations and lengthy free sections, and also the inspired lunacy of their ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $5.00!
24 view cover	The Wardell Gray Story (2003) more music like this by Wardell Gray see all copies from $37.39! new only from $37.39!
25 view cover	The One & Only (2005) more music like this by Duke Ellington Being that The One & Only is by no means a comprehensive collection of Duke Ellington's collection (with only 12 songs included, there's no way it even comes close), it's pretty much ludicrous to think that the album would satisfy any collector's desires. All of the songs here are found elsewhere, and because tracks like "The Mooche," "Take the 'A ... see all copies from $2.86! new only from $2.86!
