1	Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program is the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, its 94 selections covering the history ... see all copies from $14.29! new only from $50.06!
2	Kindred Spirits (2006) more music like this by Gary Urwin While it is nearly impossible for jazz musicians to tour much at all as a big band, from time to time, units are assembled for memorable studio sessions such as the ones heard on Gary Urwin's Kindred Spirits. Most of the leader's charts were written to showcase veterans Bill Watrous (trombone) and Pete Christlieb (tenor sax, though he plays ... see all copies from $14.75! new only from $14.79!
3	Jazz at the Philharmonic, 1949 (1949) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $5.99! new only from $13.91!
4	The Real Kansas City (1925) more music like this by Various Artists Put together to coincide with the release of Robert Altman's film Kansas City, this sampler traces the evolution of Kansas City jazz from 1925-39. Certainly recommended much more for general listeners than for completists, this CD has fine music (fortunately programmed in chronological order) from Bennie Moten, Jesse Stone, Julia Lee, George E. ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $11.06!
5	The Hollywood All-Star Sessions (1979) more music like this by Art Pepper This five-CD box of studio material was originally released in Japan on the tiny Atlas label. Until now it has never been available in the United States. Impeccably recorded between 1979 and 1982, the year Art Pepper's horn was silenced -- at least as a mortal -- these sides were the brainchild of Yasuyuki Ishihara. His vision was for Pepper to ... see all copies from $52.26! new only from $52.26!
6	An Evening with Earl Hines (1973) more music like this by Earl Hines This double LP is valuable as documentation of Earl Hines and his band on a typical gig in 1973. Marva Josie has a few vocals and Tiny Grimes contributes some guitar solos but the leader/pianist is easily the main star, romping on such tunes as "Perdido," "Boogie Woogie on the St. Louis Blues" and "Lester Leaps In." Swinging (if not essential) ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
7	85 Candles: Live in New York (2005) more music like this by Marian McPartland & Friends Marian McPartland celebrated her 85th birthday in style by hosting a lively session at Birdland with many guests (both young and old) who have appeared on her long-running NPR series. Whether she's a part of the audience or on-stage jamming with her friends, it's apparent that everyone in the club is having a blast. The romp through "I Love You" ... see all copies from $17.98! new only from $17.98!
8	Tenor Legacy (1998) more music like this by Benny Golson On this enjoyable set, veteran tenor saxophonist Benny Golson pays tribute to nine other tenors: Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims, Ben Webster, and Don Byas. On "Body & Soul," Branford Marsalis joins Golson, three songs have James Carter making the quartet a two-tenor quintet, Harold ... see all copies from $18.42! new only from $18.42!
9	Swiss Radio Days, Vol. 15: JATP Lausanne 1953 (2006) more music like this by Oscar Peterson/Ella Fitzgerald Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald made numerous tours as a part of impresario Norman Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic series. Swiss Radio Days, Vol. 15 is a previously unreleased concert in Lausanne, Switzerland, which was recorded for broadcast by Swiss Radio. Fitzgerald's opening set features Peterson, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray ... see all copies from $14.80! new only from $14.80!
10	The Complete Aladdin Recordings more music like this by Lester Young see all copies from $9.98! new only from $10.32!
11 view cover	The Lester Young Story [Proper] (2000) more music like this by Lester Young Proper, the famous British reissue label, has given the world a series of four-CD "Proper boxes" that contain essential recordings by legendary musicians. Proper's The Lester Young Story is an excellent introduction to this man's phenomenal artistry. Beginning with two instrumentals from his very first recording session on November 9, 1936, Proper ... see all copies from $17.42! new only from $23.63!
12 view cover	America's #1 Band: The Columbia Years (2003) more music like this by Count Basie Count Basie's Columbia years have long been debated, subject to apocryphal written data and legend because of the willy-nilly nature of his tenure with the label and its subsidiaries. Producer Orrin Keepnews has thus assembled America's #1 Band: The Columbia Years, a compilation of Basie's Columbia years that not only makes sense historically; it ... see all copies from $26.16! new only from $26.16!
13 view cover	Jazz: The Definitive Performances (1999) more music like this by Various Artists To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
14 view cover	Spirit of the Horn (2003) more music like this by Slide Hampton and the World of Trombones There are only a handful of instruments -- the cello being the most often used -- that can be multiplied into a satisfying, self-contained orchestra, and Slide Hampton occasionally proves that the trombone can be added to that short list. This get-together, recorded live in Pittsburgh (with all proceeds going to the jazz program at the Manchester ... see all copies from $17.01! new only from $19.35!
15 view cover	Very Saxy (1991) more music like this by Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis/Buddy Tate/Coleman Hawkins/Arnett Cobb Tenor saxophonist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and his quartet (which includes organist Shirley Scott, bassist George Duvivier and drummer Arthur Edgehill) welcome three immortal tenors (Coleman Hawkins, Arnett Cobb and Buddy Tate) to what became a historic and hard-swinging jam session. On three blues, an original based on the chord changes of "Sweet ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.29!
16 view cover	The Count Basie Story [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Count Basie see all copies from $12.51! new only from $17.32!
17 view cover	Big Band Fever (1994) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.65!
18 view cover	The Definitive Nat "King" Cole (2002) more music like this by Nat King Cole Pianist/singer Nat King Cole recorded so extensively in the 1940s that putting together a one-disc sampler of his work with his trio must have been a daunting task. The 15 selections on this sampler, released in chronological order, include ten trio numbers with guitarist Oscar Moore and bassist Johnny Miller. In addition, there are two cuts with ... see all copies from $2.39! new only from $11.13!
19 view cover	Satch and Josh.....Again (1977) more music like this by Oscar Peterson & Count Basie Recorded three years after their first full album together, this second encounter between Count Basie and Oscar Peterson on twin pianos (this time with a quartet) is as strong as the original, alternating standards with blues. Both Peterson and Basie have one number apiece on electric piano, making this album historic as well as quite musical. ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $10.80!
20 view cover	Bird: The Original Recordings of Charlie Parker (1988) more music like this by Charlie Parker Bird: The Original Recordings of Charlie Parker is a compilation of 12 tracks recorded by Charlie Parker during his years with the Verve label. The CD isn't in chronological order or even comprehensive enough to deem it a "best of." That is not to say that this album doesn't contain some phenomenal recordings; it does. Bird features some of Parker ... see all copies from $4.49! new only from $10.29!
21 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!
22 view cover	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 $6.88! new only from $6.88!
23 view cover	Desert Winds (1964) more music like this by Illinois Jacquet Illinois Jacquet's searing sax solo in 1942's "Flying Home" (recorded while Jacquet was a member of Lionel Hampton's band) is often credited as the first R&B-styled saxophone solo, and there is no denying the power in that performance, shards of which are still being copied and assimilated. But many critics of the day hated the "dirty tenor" sound ... see all copies from $3.88! new only from $10.44!
24 view cover	Count Basie Jam Session at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1975 (1975) more music like this by Count Basie see all copies from $8.93! new only from $10.71!
