2	The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Director/screenwriter Anthony Minghella is a meticulous craftsman, known for his vigorous attention to every element of a production. In the case of The Talented Mr. Ripley, his 1999 adaptation of a Patricia Highsmith potboiler, he lent particular focus to the film's music. In the novel, the gregarious American expatriate Dickie Greenleaf (played ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.69!
3	Diz 'N Bird at Carnegie Hall (1947) more music like this by Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie Nine years after Benny Goodman's groundbreaking concert, bebop finally came to Carnegie Hall. Most notable on this 1997 CD (which contains music that has been reissued many times, often incoherently) is the meeting between altoist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Joined by the underrecorded piano of John Lewis, bassist Al McKibbon and ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
4	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Charlie Parker 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. Even though alto saxophonist Charlie Parker didn't record as much material as other legends in this series, it's ... see all copies from $5.88! new only from $5.88!
5	Bebop Spoken Here [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Anyone wanting to dive into the world of jazz would do very well to check out this and the many other stellar box sets put out by England's Proper label. Showing how it should be done in the compilation game, the label packs this four-disc set with prime material and a 56-page booklet that includes extensive notes, a detailed sessionography, and ... see all copies from $18.96! new only from $18.96!
6	The Complete Savoy and Dial Master Takes (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker Through the miracle of high-resolution digital transfer and mastering technology, Bird enthusiasts can now get an earful of the shape of Charlie Parker's musical accomplishments for Savoy and Dial in the 1940s. Available as a three-disc box set, the alto saxophonist is recorded in various configurations as performer and bandleader with such ... see all copies from $42.90! new only from $42.90!
7	Best of the Complete Savoy and Dial Studio Recordings (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker This compilation whittles Charlie Parker's output on the Savoy and Dial labels down to 20 essential tracks. The booklet is certainly impressive for a best-of item; producer Orrin Keepnews offers a complete sessionography, richly informative track-by-track annotation, and an introductory essay. Interestingly, he includes several originally unissued ... see all copies from $15.92! new only from $15.92!
8	Supersax Plays Bird (1972) more music like this by Supersax Supersax's debut recording is still their best. The unusual group, who plays Charlie Parker solos harmonized for a five-piece saxophone section but with no individual sax solos (at least not on record; live they always did stretch out), found their own niche. With Conte Candoli as the trumpet soloist and a rhythm section comprised of pianist ... see all copies from $37.96!
9	Boss Bird (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $36.46! new only from $36.46!
10	Stitt Plays Bird (1963) more music like this by Sonny Stitt Sonny Stitt forged his own approach to playing bebop out of the sound and style of Charlie Parker, so this tribute album was a very logical project. With fine support from guitarist Jim Hall, pianist John Lewis, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Connie Kay, Stitt performs ten Charlie Parker compositions, plus Jay McShann's "Hootie Blues"; these ... see all copies from $30.00! new only from $32.45!
11 view cover	Liveology (2005) more music like this by Charlie Parker The music on this set of broadcasts dates from three time periods. Charlie Parker is heard with his working quintet (December 1948 to February 1949), at a time when he had Miles Davis or Kenny Dorham on trumpet, pianist Al Haig, bassist Tommy Potter, and drummer Max Roach. There are five selections from a May 28, 1950, engagement that features ... see all copies from $11.48! new only from $11.48!
12 view cover	Max Roach 4 Plays Charlie Parker (1957) more music like this by Max Roach 4 The music on this CD finds drummer Max Roach for the first time dropping the piano out of his quintet and performing with a pianoless quartet. With the departure of Sonny Rollins (who is replaced on three songs apiece by either Hank Mobley or George Coleman), Roach's group (which also featured trumpeter Kenny Dorham and either George Morrow or ... see all copies from $12.26! new only from $13.71!
13 view cover	Burnin' Bird (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker This Savoy compilation features various recordings made by saxophonist Charlie Parker during the mid- to late- '40s. Most die-hard bebop fanatics will have these tracks on other discs, but neophytes should find Burnin' Bird useful. Included are such legendary recordings as "Koko," "Ornithology," and "Shaw 'Nuff" -- many of which feature other jazz ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.00!
14 view cover	Bud Plays Bird (1957) more music like this by Bud Powell Previously unissued until 1996, this trio session by pianist Bud Powell with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor is better than his Verve recordings of the period if not quite up to the level of his earlier classic Blue Note dates. Actually it is a mystery how such excellent music could be unknown and go unreleased for so long. Powell ... see all copies from $2.73! new only from $11.13!
15 view cover	Oo Bop (1945) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie A ragtag of sessions from 1945, 1946, 1952, and 1953. The 1945 cuts (including "Salt Peanuts") also have Charlie Parker aboard; the ones from 1946 are less innovative and far more commercial-minded, with Alice Roberts on vocals. There's also a number with strings from 1953, and a selection ("Perdido") from the famous 1953 Massey Hall concert with ... see all copies from $8.01! new only from $8.01!
16 view cover	The Instrumental History of Jazz (1997) more music like this by Various Artists It's hard to fault this two-disc, enhanced CD collection. Starting with Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag" and roping in tracks from King Oliver, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Horace Silver, and John Coltrane, all the way to modern jazz musicians like Spyro Gyra and Geri Allen, this set covers a pretty ... see all copies from $29.78! new only from $29.78!
17 view cover	Bird (1988) more music like this by Original Soundtrack Through the miracle of modern technology and countless hours of studio toil, producer Lennie Niehaus matches original solos by alto sax titan Charlie "Bird" Parker with accompaniment by modern players. The sidemen playing with the long-dead legend include bassists Ron Carter and Ray Brown, drummer John Guerin, and trumpeter Jon Faddis. It's a ... see all copies from $2.95!
18 view cover	Complete Savoy Live Performances: Sept. 29, 1947-Oct. 25, 1950 (1998) more music like this by Charlie Parker This four-CD set contains a somewhat streamlined presentation of Parker's complete known live broadcasts from New York's Royal Roost, dating during 1948 and 1949, augmented with five of the live September 29, 1947, Carnegie Hall recordings and one lower-quality tape made in Chicago during 1950. The vitality of these performances still radiates off ... see all copies from $44.67! new only from $44.67!

Collectors will probably want to seek out the original albums, but at 13 tracks, this is a worthy budget overview of some of Parker's most recognizable bebop recordings. Matt Collar, All Music Guide see all copies from $10.66! new only from $10.66!
