1	April in Paris [Verve] (1955) more music like this by Count Basie One of the staples in the Count Basie discography, April in Paris is one of those rare albums that makes its mark as an almost instant classic in the jazz pantheon. April in Paris represents the reassembly of the original Count Basie orchestra that define swing in the 1930s and 1940s. The title track has come to define elegance in orchestral jazz. ... see all copies from $3.55! new only from $15.05!
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	Heart Beat (2006) more music like this by Robert Jospé see all copies from $10.41! new only from $10.41!
4	The Best of Rene Touzet (1994) more music like this by Rene Touzet René Touzet's 1950s work is somewhere between that of Tito Puente and Martin Denny, neither as exciting and authentically Latin as the former, nor as kitschy and entertainingly fake as the latter. Perez Prado, of "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White," may be a good touchstone, but Touzet's music has a deeper Latin groove, closer to that of Xavier ... see all copies from $10.28! new only from $10.28!
5	Lullabies of Birdland - A Musical Autobiography (2004) more music like this by George Shearing In 1979, after a number of years in semi-obscurity, pianist George Shearing made a comeback by signing to Concord. Over the next ten years he showed that he'd lost none of the subtlety that had won him accolades when recording with his quintet in the 1950s and 1960s. Lullabies of Birdland: A Musical Autobiography recaps Shearing's long career, ... see all copies from $4.05! new only from $4.05!
6	On the Sunny Side of the Strip (1993) more music like this by George Shearing This is one of five live George Shearing Quintet LPs whose contents were reissued as part of a Mosaic CD box set. Superior to the pianist's studio mood music albums of the period, this set is quite bop-oriented with such songs as "Jordu," "Confirmation," "Bernie's Tune" and "Joy Spring" being given the Shearing treatment. Vibraphonist Emil ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $11.09!
7	La Familia (1988) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez This is a typically exciting effort from Poncho Sanchez and his popular Latin jazz band. The three-horn, three-percussion octet (which includes trumpeter Sal Cracchiolo, trombonist Art Velasco, pianist Charlie Otwell and the leader on conga and lead vocals) is joined on two numbers by altoist Gary Foster, who was on the band's debut Concord ... see all copies from $9.58!
8	Tropicana Nights (1999) more music like this by Paquito d'Rivera In celebration of the famous Tropicana casino in Havana, Cuba, D'Rivera assembled a 22-piece big band to play many of the famous tunes that the "most beautiful nightclub in the world" was known for in the '50s. The band is a killer, rising up to the vaunted musicianship of D'Rivera, including trumpeters Mike Ponella and Diego Urcola, trombonists ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $16.59!
9	Candido (1956) more music like this by Candido Camero This album, first issued by ABC-Paramount, marked Cuban percussionist Candido Camero's recording debut as a leader, and while he obviously has a prominent role, these 1956 sessions represent far more than a vehicle for his conga and bongo playing. The band includes the always inspired tenor saxophonist Al Cohn, pianist Dick Katz, bassist Whitey ... see all copies from $3.59! new only from $9.69!
10	Colors of Latin Jazz: Mambo Mania! (2002) more music like this by Various Artists While an individual artist may provide a good introduction to an unfamiliar genre, this approach is rather limited. A lone artist, no matter how talented, can only supply a partial understanding of a style. Another and perhaps more effective method is to listen to a collection like The Colors of Latin Jazz: Mambo Mania!, a collection of 11 mambos ... see all copies from $8.37! new only from $8.37!
11 view cover	Latin Jazz: La Combinación Perfecta (2002) more music like this by Various Artists It's such a simple idea that it's hard to believe no one has done it before: a chronological history of Latin jazz. Tied to a book of the same name, this is a superb disc that takes the listener from the start, in 1949, with Machito & the Afro-Cubans offering the splendid, rhythmic "Tanga," all the way to Cuban pianist Chucho Valdes at a descarga ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!
12 view cover	Conga Caliente: La Familia/Fuerte (2002) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Releasing two Poncho Sanchez titles under Conga Caliente in 2002 seems like a perfect way to mark the 20th year of the percussionist's relationship with Concord Picante. Both Fuerte from 1988 and La Familia from 1989 showcase Sanchez and friends on a number of excellent compositions. Although a large group of players fills each band, an infectious ... see all copies from $16.90! new only from $16.90!
13 view cover	Roots of Afro-Cuban Jazz (2001) more music like this by Various Artists While not really a thorough overview of Afro-Cuban jazz roots (no Machito?), this Blue Note disc still contains enough top cuts to make for some very enjoyable -- and occasionally educational -- listening. Taking in both bebop and hard bop material, the 11 tracks feature such worthy contributors as Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro and Tadd Dameron, ... see all copies from $1.99!
14 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 57 (1949) more music like this by George Shearing All of the CDs in this extensive Verve reissue series (this is really the 57th set) are samplers designed to give listeners some of the highlights of the artist's career. The 16 titles on the album are taken from pianist George Shearing's period on MGM, the early years of his famed piano-vibes-guitar-bass-drums quintet. Highlights include the ... see all copies from $8.17! new only from $8.17!
15 view cover	Count Basie, Lester Young and the Stars of Birdland On Tour: Recorded Live in Topeka, K (1996) more music like this by Count Basie/Lester Young Double CD release of a February 1955 show from Topeka, Kansas, with Count Basie and his Orchestra on three numbers, backing Basie alumnus Lester Young on three more, and Joe Williams (who had just joined the group) on three songs (including a jazzy version of "Shake, Rattle & Roll"), Stan Getz on four numbers (including an exciting version of ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $25.23!

20 view cover	Clear of Clouds (1992) more music like this by Hendrik Meurkens Hendrik Meurkens, who has the unusual double of harmonica and vibes, is featured with two different groups on this enjoyable CD. Six of the 11 selections were cut in Rio de Janeiro with the underrated trumpeter Claudio Roditi and a spirited Brazilian rhythm section, while the other five (also Brazilian-oriented) features Meurkens' regular band ... see all copies from $124.48! new only from $124.48!
