1	The Best of George Shearing, Vol. 2 (1960-169) (1960) more music like this by George Shearing The second volume in a series compiling the highlights of Shearing's tenure on Capitol, this Best of collection includes Shearing's own "Lullaby of Birdland" and Lester Young's "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid," recorded with the aid of sidemen like vibists Gary Burton and Eddie Costa along with drummers Vernell Fournier and Shelly Manne. Jason Ankeny ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $14.03!
2	The Definitive George Shearing (2002) more music like this by George Shearing British-born pianist George Shearing's work for the MGM and Capitol record labels from the late '40s to the early '60s is collected on this 21-track compilation. Beginning with four tracks recorded for MGM in 1949 with his unique quintet of guitar, bass, drums, and vibraphone (which would double the melody he was playing with his right hand), ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $10.35!
3	The Complete Aladdin Recordings more music like this by Lester Young see all copies from $8.25! new only from $8.25!
4	The Complete Roost Recordings (1950) more music like this by Stan Getz The Complete Roost Recordings is a three-disc, 59-track box set that contains all of the recordings Stan Getz made for the Roost Record label in the '50s. The set includes all of his officially released sessions -- including the date led by guitarist Johnny Smith, the live performances with Count Basie, and a full disc of live performances with ... see all copies from $32.00! new only from $32.00!
5	The Complete Savoy Recordings (2002) more music like this by Lester Young 2002's The Complete Savoy Recordings contains all 46 recordings Lester Young recorded for Savoy, including numerous alternate takes. This set is nicely assembled, boasting 20-Bit remastering, with good notes and logical sequencing (even if the successions of alternate takes do skew it a bit toward the historian, not the casual listener), making ... see all copies from $11.85! new only from $11.85!
6	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Lester Young 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. This disc highlights tenor saxophonist Lester Young, beginning with his membership in the Count Basie band ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
7	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Greatest Hits contains a good cross-section of Dizzy Gillespie's best-known RCA numbers, including "A Night in Tunisia," "St. Louis Blues," and "Lover, Come Back to Me." Although it doesn't offer anything of interest to jazz purists or completists, Greatest Hits is a nice sampler for newcomers and casual fans. [Note to listeners: the contents of ... see all copies from $7.23! new only from $9.56!
8	One Night Stand: The Town Hall Concert 1947 (1947) more music like this by Sarah Vaughan & Lester Young This 1997 CD has music from a previously unreleased Town Hall concert. The program is split between the Lester Young sextet and Sarah Vaughan with the two principals only coming together on the final song, "I Cried for You." The recording quality is listenable, if not flawless, and it features the two giants at interesting points in their careers. ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
9	A Night in Tunisia: The Very Best of Dizzy Gillespie (2006) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Many arguments can be made as to which cuts constitute the "very best" of Dizzy Gillespie. These 14 cuts can certainly be argued for in making a solid case for the great trumpeter, bandleader, and composer. These tracks, all of which were cut for RCA between February of 1946 and July of 1949, still sound vital and progressive in the 21st century. ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
10	The Complete RCA Victor Recordings: 1947-1949 (1947) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Although the sheer scope of this double-CD roundup of all of Dizzy's Victor sessions places it most obviously within the evolution of bebop, it is absolutely essential to Latin jazz collections as well. Here listeners find the discographical launching pad of Afro-Cuban jazz on December 22, 1947, when Cuban conguero Chano Pozo added his galvanic ... see all copies from $21.33! new only from $21.33!
11 view cover	The Complete Aladdin Sessions (1942) more music like this by Lester Young Although it has often been written that the cool-toned tenor saxophonist Lester Young's experiences with racism in the military during 1944-1945 so scarred him that he never played at the same musical level as he had previously, the music on this essential two-CD reissue disproves that theory. It is true that his attitude toward life was affected ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $8.85!
12 view cover	Lullaby of Birdland (1949) more music like this by George Shearing This double LP from 1986, although not "complete," does a fine job of summing up the MGM recordings of the George Shearing Quintet. The popular group is heard at its best on such songs as "September in the Rain," "East of the Sun," "Conception," "Tenderly," "Pick Yourself Up," and the original version of "Lullaby of Birdland." With such sidemen as ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $14.98!
13 view cover	Piano Power (2005) more music like this by Oscar Peterson see all copies from $44.06! new only from $44.06!
14 view cover	The George Benson Cookbook (1966) more music like this by George Benson The second of Benson's John Hammond-produced albums is far and away the superior of the pair, mixing down-to-basics, straight-ahead jazz with soul-drenched grooving. Suddenly Benson's backup group - same as that of Uptown, with Benny Green added on trombone now and then - has found its bearings and apropos to the title, they can cook, even sizzle. ... see all copies from $5.61! new only from $5.61!
15 view cover	Papa Gato (1986) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Percussionist Poncho Sanchez has long led one of the top Latin jazz groups, succeeding his former boss, the late Cal Tjader. On this enjoyable release, Sanchez features plenty of solos from Justo Almario (on alto, tenor, and flute), trumpeter Sal Cracchiolo, and trombonist Art Velasco, and the three percussionists have many opportunities to romp. ... see all copies from $4.75! new only from $8.92!
16 view cover	All Blues (1978) more music like this by Ray Bryant Trio Bryant has always had a wide repertoire but he sounds most at home when playing the blues. This trio date with bassist Sam Jones and drummer Grady Tate allows him to do just that with "Please Send Me Someone to Love" being the only nonblues on the program. Whether it be "All Blues," "Billie's Bounce" or "Jumpin' with Symphony Sid," Bryant explores ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.06!
17 view cover	A Night at Kimball's East (1990) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez This concert performance (which is also available on video) features spirited Latin-jazz from Poncho Sanchez's octet. There are some strong contributions from trumpeter Sal Cracchiolo, trombonist Art Velasco and saxophonist Gene Burkert along with the percussionists. The excessive amount of group vocals and the often-routine (if infectious) ... see all copies from $3.81! new only from $9.61!
18 view cover	Cookin' at the Corner, Vol. 2 (2007) more music like this by Les Demerle Dynamic Band Les DeMerle is typical of many of the artists recording for Origin. He's a veteran drummer who's paid his dues, but probably has more of a regional following. In any case, he knows how to swing a band, mixing in standards and even singing a few bluesy vocals, though Eddy Arnold's "You Don't Know Me" isn't typical jazz fare. He thrills the crowd ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $10.41!
19 view cover	On the Blue Side (1989) more music like this by Hank Crawford and Jimmy McGriff One of the most consistent and most soulful of all jazz altoists, Hank Crawford sounds at his best when he has strong melodies to wrap his tone around, and when he can dig into the blues. Both aspects are true during this quartet outing which he co-leads with organist Jimmy McGriff. Crawford sounds particularly strong on "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
20 view cover	Cookin' at the Corner, Vol. 1 (2006) more music like this by Dynamic Les Demerle Band Recorded at a club in Hilton Head, Les DeMerle puts together an extensive set of standards for a jumping instrumental trio with the inclusion, from time to time, of singer Bonnie Eisele. Though there is a pair of original compositions from pianist Michael Levine, the vast majority of the album hails from the American songbook and slightly later ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $10.41!
21 view cover	Saoco! Masters of Afro-Cuban Jazz (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Taking its name from a Mongo Santamaria song (included here), Saoco! Masters of Afro-Cuban Jazz is an 18-track compilation that indeed shows off the work of some of the great Latin jazz (or Afro-Cuban) players. Innovators like Cachao and the aforementioned Santamaria, as well as stars like Charlie Palmieri, Tito Puente, Machito, Cal Tjader, Ray ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $14.78!
22 view cover	Right Now/Latin Fever (2001) more music like this by Herbie Mann This two-fer from Collectables features a pair of out of print Herbie Mann LPs: Right Now and Latin Fever, both originally issued on Atlantic in 1962. Highlights among the 19 tracks include "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid," "You Came a Long Way from St. Louis," and "Groovy Samba," which are pleasant, but not essential. Al Campbell, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.82! new only from $9.82!
23 view cover	BD Jazz (2004) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie see all copies from $6.49! new only from $6.49!
24 view cover	Al Cohn Meets Al Porcino (1987) more music like this by Al Cohn This was one of Al Cohn's last recordings, a live session with trumpeter Al Porcino's European big band. Cohn's Lester Young-influenced tone had darkened quite a bit through the years and his tough tone was now closer to Illinois Jacquet than to Young. However he still swung in a boppish style and is the main soloist throughout this excellent ... see all copies from $2.86!
