1	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Charlie Parker (2004) more music like this by Charlie Parker Alto saxophonist Charlie Parker was instrumental in tipping jazz over from the swing genre, which was predominantly a dance music, to bop, which aspired to art, an intellectual dance if you will, and consequently Parker was a huge purveyor of the mid-'40s sea change that began to alter the way audiences approached jazz, and pop music in general. ... see all copies from $8.34! new only from $8.34!
2	The Essential Charlie Parker (1992) more music like this by Charlie Parker Another anthology that has less value due to the exploding reissue market. These cuts were among Parker's most influential compositions and performances, but they've been reissued many times, both in anthology packages and on re-releases of their original albums. But it's part of the Essentials sampler line, and if you only want a little Parker, ... see all copies from $7.58! new only from $7.58!
3	The Complete Verve Master Takes (2003) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $38.90! new only from $38.90!
4	Night Beat (1988) more music like this by Hank Crawford Altoist Hank Crawford teams up with pianist/organist Dr. John on this accessible and enjoyable soul-jazz outing. Crawford made quite a few CDs in this format for Milestone during the 1980s, using a funky four-piece rhythm section and a small horn section to play recent originals and a few vintage classics. Highlights of the above-average effort ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	Confirmation: The Best of the Verve Years (1995) more music like this by Charlie Parker Anyone daunted by the expense of acquiring the 10-disc Bird: The Complete Charlie Parker on Verve may well have their prayers answered by this 2-CD distillation of the big box. It covers a wide stretch of material from Parker's career, going back to the first JATP concert in 1946 and stretching almost to the end of his Norman Granz period. One ... see all copies from $2.85! new only from $2.85!
6	Bop (1996) more music like this by Frank Morgan Although all eight selections on this CD have been played many times before (the only song not a boppish warhorse is John Lewis' "Milano"), altoist Frank Morgan makes each of the pieces sound fresh. As producer John Snyder is quoted in the liner notes, this is bop without cliches. Morgan, who is assisted by pianist Rodney Kendrick, drummer Leroy ... see all copies from $6.29! new only from $7.11!
7	Verve Jazz Masters 15 (1994) more music like this by Charlie Parker For those who haven't yet invested in Definitive's excellent four-CD set Charlie Parker: The Complete Norman Granz Master Takes, Verve Jazz Masters 15 may serve as a useful sampler containing some of this master improviser's best performances recorded between January 1946 and July 1953. In addition to Jazz at the Philharmonic jams ("I Can't Get ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
8	To Go: Stick It in Your Ear (2006) more music like this by Parker, Charlie Verve's To Go series, which includes six classic tracks each from giants of jazz Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and now Charlie Parker, provides the iPod generation with CliffsNotes for one of the most hard-to-compile genres in existence ... see all copies from $2.17! new only from $4.09!
9	Rise and Fall of Charlie Parker (2007) more music like this by Charlie Parker On Primo's double-disc compilation released in 2007, The Rise and Fall of Charlie Parker is depicted using 40 definitive bop recordings made in New York, Hollywood, and Detroit between November 1945 and March 1951, a segment of time that begins five years into and ends about three years short of the end of Bird's adventurous recording career. For ... see all copies from $6.47! new only from $6.47!
10	Compact Jazz: Miles Davis (1989) more music like this by Miles Davis While the majority of Miles Davis' work can be found on Blue Note, Prestige, and Columbia, there are still several loose ends to account for from both his own dates and sessions he did as a sideman. This edition of the budget Compact Jazz series rounds up a few of them with some classic Charlie Parker sides from 1951, several cuts taken from Davis ... see all copies from $14.98!

12 view cover	From Dizzy To Miles (1999) more music like this by Charlie Parker Covering the years 1945-1953, this 22-track collection captures Bird in a variety of settings: as a member of Dizzy Gillespie's Sextet, working some early dates with Miles Davis as bandleader, performing under his own name, and even playing tenor on a 1947 Davis All-Stars date. A nice chunk of Bird that hasn't been reissued to death. Cub Koda, ... see all copies from $88.58! new only from $88.58!
13 view cover	Greatest Verve Bop Quintets (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker Verve is continually resorting and repackaging their artists' tracks and albums and Charlie Parker is no exception. Here we find various quintets led by the tenor sax giant in the early '50s. This same work is available on other compilations and one might do well to check out other Verve compilations to compare track listings, cover, liner notes, ... see all copies from $7.35! new only from $7.35!

16 view cover	1951-1952 (2003) more music like this by Charlie Parker There's a lot to be said for this kind of chronological survey when it's applied to someone like Charlie Parker.

The music ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
