1	Vocalese (1985) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer Many of the Manhattan Transfer's recordings up to the point of Vocalese showed off their diversity and covered a wide variety of music, including jazz. This set was quite a bit different, for it is dedicated to the vocalese of the great Jon Hendricks. The Manhattan Transfer (singers Cheryl Bentyne, Tim Hauser, Alan Paul and Janis Siegel) perform a ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.02!
2	Clifford Brown & Max Roach (1954) more music like this by Clifford Brown/Max Roach Quintet According to the original 1955 liner notes to Clifford Brown and Max Roach, the announcement that Clifford Brown and Max Roach had begun recording and playing together sent shock waves throughout the jazz community and predictions ran rampant about how the two might shape bop to come. The last duo to really shape the music had begun over ten years ... see all copies from $14.00! new only from $16.20!
3	Born to Be Blue (1981) more music like this by Freddie Hubbard Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard teams up with veteran tenor-saxophonist Harold Land and Hubbard's regular rhythm section of the period (keyboardist Billy Childs, bassist Larry Klein, drummer Steve Houghton and percussionist Buck Clark) on this fine modern hard bop CD, a straight reissue of the original Pablo LP. Hubbard had hurt his reputation with his ... see all copies from $5.60! new only from $9.61!
4	Best of Clifford Brown (1953) more music like this by Clifford Brown Blue Note's The Best of Clifford Brown is a soild collection of highlights from Brown's recordings for Blue Note and Pacific Jazz. During his brief life, Brown pioneered a new style of hard bop that remains influential decades after his death. While his original recordings remain the best way to understand his achievements, this 13-track ... see all copies from $7.25! new only from $10.79!
5	The Complete Pacific Jazz Recordings (2006) more music like this by Gil Evans Gil Evans released two records on World Pacific in 1958 and 1959. They were among his earliest dates as a leader. Gil Evans & Ten was issued by Prestige in 1957, but these dates stand out more. New Bottle, Old Wine was the first of the pair and the band included four trumpets, a trio of trombones, French horn (played by Julius Watkins), a pair of ... see all copies from $10.77! new only from $10.77!
6	Unsung Heroes (2000) more music like this by Tierney Sutton Tierney Sutton's light, sweet voice is not yet as familiar to most jazz fans as those of Ella Fitzgerald or Sarah Vaughan, but on the evidence of her first two albums, it deserves to be. Her flexibility and control are world-class, and she has a sense of taste that has never failed her on record; although her technique is superb, she never seems ... see all copies from $9.92! new only from $9.92!
7	On the Town with the Oscar Peterson Trio (1958) more music like this by Oscar Peterson This reissue of Oscar Peterson's live Toronto recording in the Desert Island Discs series at Verve brings to light the question that jazz audiences were debating at the time. With Peterson's legerdemain rhythmic possibilities, his knotting, shimmering waves of notes, his insanely huge harmonic structures, and his dense clusters played in every ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $10.14!
8	Time Out (2007) more music like this by Buddy Rich A previously unreleased live recording from various unattributed dates in 1977 and 1978, Buddy Rich leads his 15-piece big bands through exuberant music that for the most part avoids the contemporary R&B flavored jazz he was veering towards. Under the auspices of recording engineer, bandmember, and saxophonist Alan Gauvin, these 11 tracks ... see all copies from $11.99! new only from $11.99!
9	Back to Birdland (2001) more music like this by George Shearing Quintet The quintet formula that George Shearing popularized on his many recordings for over three decades before disbanding it in 1978 has been occasionally revived by the pianist; this edition features Shearing's longtime bassist Neil Swainson and preferred drummer Dennis Mackrel, along with vibraphonist Don Thompson and guitarist Reg Schwager (both of ... see all copies from $6.18! new only from $13.55!
10	Glass Ceiling (1993) more music like this by Andy LaVerne Trio Andy LaVerne's series of consistently fresh CDs for Steeplechase kicked off in the late '80s and shows no signs of letting up, making one wonder if record labels in his native land are too busy searching for the latest young jazz superstar to notice his immense talent. This trio session from 1993 features the pianist with frequent collaborator ... see all copies from $16.41! new only from $16.41!
11 view cover	The Dolphin (1981) more music like this by Stan Getz Stan Getz's first recording for Concord finds him returning to the strictly acoustic straightahead format, performing six standards with a quartet comprised of pianist Lou Levy, bassist Monty Budwig and drummer Victor Lewis. Getz is in particularly fine form on the title cut, "Joy Spring" and "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes." Scott Yanow, All ... see all copies from $15.00!
12 view cover	Midnight Groove: Art of Smooth Jazz (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Midnight Groove: The Art of Smooth Jazz contains 15 tracks culled from the Windham Hill vaults. By some definitions, this isn't quite smooth jazz -- it's closer to contemporary instrumental than the lightly funky fusions of the Yellowjackets -- but it is smooth, relaxing and ambient, and it should appeal to fans of any of the featured artists, ... see all copies from $1.99!
13 view cover	Leap Frog (2007) more music like this by Texas Christian University Jazz Many college bands around today sound quite professional in their ensembles, although their soloists tend to be erratic and justifiably immature since they are relative youngsters. While the soloists are much better than usual on this two-CD set, Leap Frog is a typical outing by a college orchestra. Actually several bands are represented since the ... see all copies from $18.70! new only from $18.70!
14 view cover	Catalonian Nights, Vol. 3 (1998) more music like this by Tete Montoliu/John Heard/Albert Tootie Heath see all copies from $16.45! new only from $16.45!
15 view cover	The Anthology: Down in Birdland (1992) more music like this by The Manhattan Transfer As the Manhattan Transfer went on, so did the legacy of the jazz vocal ensemble. In that regard, though the competition was scarce, this group did elevate the art form to a higher level without much compromise. This two-CD, 39-track compilation represents many of the high points of the group. If anything is missing, some of the vocalese influenced ... see all copies from $30.56! new only from $30.56!
16 view cover	I Remember Clifford (1992) more music like this by Arturo Sandoval Due to the straight-ahead nature of the music on this CD, plus trumpeter Arturo Sandoval's self-restraint, I Remember Clifford has been many jazz purists' favorite among the trumpeter's releases. Sandoval, who is joined by pianist Kenny Kirkland, bassist Charnett Moffett, drummer Kenny Washington, and either Ernie Watts, David Sanchez, or Ed Calle ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $9.00!
17 view cover	On the Sunny Side of the Strip (1993) more music like this by George Shearing This is one of five live George Shearing Quintet LPs whose contents were reissued as part of a Mosaic CD box set. Superior to the pianist's studio mood music albums of the period, this set is quite bop-oriented with such songs as "Jordu," "Confirmation," "Bernie's Tune" and "Joy Spring" being given the Shearing treatment. Vibraphonist Emil ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $11.09!
18 view cover	Complete Muse Sessions (1997) more music like this by Houston Person & Ron Carter In 1989-1990, tenor saxophonist Houston Person and bassist Ron Carter collaborated in duet studio sessions on the Muse label for the recordings titled Something in Common and Now's the Time. For both of these musicians this was somewhat a departure, as Person's soul-jazz persona and Carter's bop mentality is more pronounced and recognized. Of ... see all copies from $49.00!
19 view cover	Brownie: The Complete EmArcy Recordings of Clifford Brown (1954) more music like this by Clifford Brown Although undoubtedly an expensive acquisition, this ten-CD set is perfectly done and contains dozens of gems. The remarkable but short-lived trumpeter Clifford Brown has the second half of his career fully documented (other than his final performance) and he is showcased in a wide variety of settings. The bulk of the numbers are of Brownie's ... see all copies from $249.50!

21 view cover	Jazz Immortal (1954) more music like this by Clifford Brown Sextet. This album includes some takes and Brown material unavailable elsewhere. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.68! new only from $10.73!
22 view cover	Invitation more music like this by Lenore Raphael Lenore Raphael is one of many veteran jazz artists deserving of wider recognition who has successfully turned to issuing CDs on her own label. This live set at St. Michael's Theater in New York City features the pianist in top form with her trio, bassist Hilliard Greene and drummer Rudy Lawless. She digs into "Yesterdays" by substituting a catchy ... see all copies from $11.95! new only from $11.95!

24 view cover	The Definitive Clifford Brown (2002) more music like this by Clifford Brown Trumpeter Clifford Brown had a brief career. He started playing jazz in the late '40s but was killed in a car accident in 1956 (along with pianist Richie Powell, younger brother of Bud). In that short time his interest in expanding the bebop medium is apparent on The Definitive Clifford Brown. Several of the legendary hard bop quintet sides he ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $9.61!
25 view cover	Raya Yarbrough (2007) more music like this by Raya Yarbrough Raya Yarbrough is a most intriguing singer. Like Maria Muldaur, her music stretches across many genres, making the division between the styles a bit confusing if not irrelevant. Best known in Los Angeles, Raya Yarbrough shows on her debut CD that she is heading towards fame as long as she can resist being categorized. She splits her CD between ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $10.64!
