1	Lush Life: The Music of Billy Strayhorn (1991) more music like this by Joe Henderson With the release of this CD, the executives at Verve and their marketing staff proved that yes, indeed, jazz can sell. The veteran tenor Joe Henderson has had a distinctive sound and style of his own ever since he first entered the jazz major leagues yet he has spent long periods in relative obscurity before reaching his current status as a jazz ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $10.14!
2	Underground (2006) more music like this by Chris Potter Chris Potter took his electric band, Underground, on the road throughout 2005, trying out new material and working through some of his gems. This Sunnyside date is the first time this band has been in the studio together. Underground features Potter playing tenor saxophone exclusively, guitarist Wayne Krantz (in a rare sideman role to be sure), ... see all copies from $11.87! new only from $14.95!
3	For My Father (2005) more music like this by Hank Jones Grand jazz master pianist and octogenarian Hank Jones is accompanied here by bassist George Mraz and drummer Dennis Mackrel. The program is a collection of jazz and pop standards that Jones has undoubtedly played countless times before, and it matters not a whit. His sense of refinement, elegance, and swing saturates the proceedings. Whether it's ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
4	Cobb's Corner (2007) more music like this by Jimmy Cobb Quartet see all copies from $16.31! new only from $16.31!
5	The Water Is Wide (2000) more music like this by Charles Lloyd Like 1999's Voice in the Night, The Water Is Wide features Charles Lloyd in the company of one of his dearest friends, drummer Billy Higgins, who would pass away less than a year after the album's release. Guitarist John Abercrombie also remains on board, but Lloyd extends the group's generational span by recruiting two younger players: pianist ... see all copies from $11.21! new only from $11.21!
6	Jazz Moods: Tranquility (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Concord Jazz was clever enough to realize that there are legions of jazz listeners who use the music as mood music on occasion. Knowing this, the label compiled a whole series titled Jazz Moods, designing each disc to fit a specific mood. With Tranquility, it's a collection of cool jazz, soft bop, fusion, and smooth jazz, all ideal for relaxation. ... see all copies from $6.99! new only from $7.65!
7	West of 5th (2006) more music like this by Hank Jones/Christian McBride/Jimmy Cobb Veteran pianist Hank Jones is hardly slowing down at the age of 87, as heard on this beautifully recorded session in early 2006. With drummer Jimmy Cobb (who sticks to brushes) and Christian McBride rounding out his potent trio, Jones keeps old warhorses like "On Green Dolphin Street" fresh, giving ample space to his partner and adding a humorous ... see all copies from $16.31! new only from $16.31!
8	Sunbeam and Thundercloud (1995) more music like this by Dave McKenna/Joe Temperley This may very well be the first full-length album ever of baritone sax/piano duets. Joe Temperley is best known for his ability to emulate Harry Carney, Duke Ellington's baritonist for 48 years. However, he also has a lot of Gerry Mulligan in his sound, as he tends to emphasize higher and lighter notes than Carney or Pepper Adams usually did, and ... see all copies from $23.38!
9	Celebration of Billy Strayhorn's Music, Vol. 1 (1994) more music like this by Harry Allen & Keith Ingham Billy Strayhorn's impressive work as a composer was often overshadowed by that of Duke Ellington. On two CDs, pianist Keith Ingham (who provided the arrangements), promising young tenor Harry Allen, guitarist Chris Flory, bassist Dennis Irwin and drummer Chuck Riggs perform 32 Strayhorn originals, including 16 on this first disc. In addition to ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
10	Cheek to Cheek (1996) more music like this by Dick Hyman Although Dick Hyman has the ability to play quite credibly in most jazz styles, he has spent much of the 1980s and '90s performing stride and swing. This release, a trio date with guitarist Howard Alden and bassist Bob Haggart, was a change of pace, for Hyman plays mostly in a more boppish and modern mainstream vein. In the wide repertoire, the ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
11 view cover	Billy Strayhorn: Lush Life (2007) more music like this by Billy Strayhorn Despite his crucial role in 20th century jazz and popular music as a songwriter, musician and arranger, Billy Strayhorn is still too often seen as a postscript to the Duke Ellington story -- the two collaborated for nearly three decades. If Strayhorn had done nothing else but compose Ellington's theme "Take the 'A' Train" (oddly absent from this ... see all copies from $3.79! new only from $4.56!
12 view cover	Plays the Music of Billy Strayhorn (1987) more music like this by Marian McPartland Pianist Marian McPartland has always had an affinity for the compositions of Billy Strayhorn, giving his songs the right amount of sensitivity and swing. For this quartet session with altoist Jerry Dodgion, bassist Steve LaSpina, and drummer Joey Baron, McPartland explores ten of Strayhorn's best-known originals, including "Isfahan," "Lotus ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
13 view cover	The Concord Jazz Heritage Series Sampler (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Now around long enough to have developed an extensive back catalog, Concord started to mine it with a Jazz Heritage series of reissues in 1998 -- of which this generously packed two-disc sampler provides an excerpt from each album. As such, the double set provides a good, even at times unpredictable overview of the label during the (label founder) ... see all copies from $3.36! new only from $7.95!

16 view cover	Play Nice Tunes (1994) more music like this by Ruby Braff & Dick Hyman All of cornetist Ruby Braff's duet collaborations with pianist Dick Hyman are something special. The success of this set was a bit unlikely because the great cornetist was very ill just a few months earlier. Luckily he recovered and does not show any weakness, hesitancy or diminishing abilities on his duet date. The emphasis is on slower ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!

19 view cover	Togo Brava Suite [Blue Note] (1971) more music like this by Duke Ellington This single CD reissues all of the contents of the original United Artists double LP. By the time of these concerts from England, the Duke Ellington Orchestra had suffered quite a few losses of veteran personnel with Johnny Hodges having passed away and such greats as Cat Anderson, Ray Nance, Lawrence Brown, and Jimmy Hamilton having departed. ... see all copies from $9.98!

21 view cover	Songs of Billy Strayhorn (1998) more music like this by Ron Gill Vocalist Ron Gill has been on the Boston jazz scene for more than 30 years as a performer on radio, TV, and in clubs. He has also toured with the Duke Ellington Orchestra led by Mercer Ellington. Gill has a special affinity for the music of Ellington's alter ego, Billy Strayhorn, which comes through immediately upon hearing the opening measures of ... see all copies from $1.99!
22 view cover	One by One (1995) more music like this by Dick Berk For this recording by drummer Dick Berk & the Jazz Adoption Society, he features an excellent rhythm section (pianist Tad Weed, guitarist Dan Faehnle, and bassist Phil Baker) plus both slide trombonist Andy Martin and valve trombonist Mike Fahn. The two 'bones trade off often, harmonize together, and consistently battle to a draw on a variety of ... see all copies from $19.58! new only from $19.58!
23 view cover	Almost Blue (1991) more music like this by The Ritz The Ritz, when they made their first recording in 1985, were a bop-oriented vocal trio consisting of Daryl Bosteels, Sharon Broadley and Mickey Freeman (backed by a rhythm section which included Bosteels on piano). By 1991, there were four vocalists in the group, including Bosteels, Melissa Hamilton, Val Hawk (doubling on guitar) and Christopher ... see all copies from $2.46!
24 view cover	Quiet Now: Lovesome Things (1999) more music like this by Joe Henderson Joe Henderson's entry in Polygram's mellow Quiet Now series focuses on his '90s recordings for the Verve label, a period when the tenor saxophonist had settled gracefully into a well-deserved elder statesman role. This is not to say that these ten performances are unnecessarily staid or conservative; indeed, Henderson's tone was better than ever ... see all copies from $28.39! new only from $28.39!
