3	Verve Remixed, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Verve Remixed, Vol. 2 can't be considered a complete success, though it certainly represents a valiant effort by compilers and remixers alike to reimagine 14 more classics from the Verve catalog. Even more so than on the first volume, this remix album benefits from the informed matchings of original performance with remixing artist, by producers ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $13.34!
4	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie It's impossible to grasp the complete scope of trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and showman Dizzy Gillespie's influence on jazz. However, this companion release to Ken Burns' PBS documentary Jazz is an admirable attempt, providing a brief glimpse of Dizzy's pioneering bebop and Afro-Cuban jazz brilliance on a single 16-track disc. The disc ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $6.00!
5	Afro [Special Packaging] (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Pairing Dizzy Gillespie with Cuban arranger/composer Chico O'Farrill produced a stunning session which originally made up the first half of a Norgran LP.

6	For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story (2000) more music like this by Original Soundtrack The soundtrack to For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story, the HBO original biopic starring Andy Garcia, presents a cross-section of the modern-day trumpet legend's career.

7	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.

8	The Complete RCA Victor Recordings: 1947-1949 (1947) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Although the sheer scope of this double-CD roundup of all of Dizzy's Victor sessions places it most obviously within the evolution of bebop, it is absolutely essential to Latin jazz collections as well. Here listeners find the discographical launching pad of Afro-Cuban jazz on December 22, 1947, when Cuban conguero Chano Pozo added his galvanic ... see all copies from $21.33! new only from $21.33!
9	Soul Burst (1966) more music like this by Cal Tjader By the mid-'60s, vibraphonist Cal Tjader was recording regularly for Verve in a wide variety of settings but with pretty consistent success. For this popular outing (reissued on CD in 1998), Tjader plays a few then-current Latin numbers (including Clare Fischer's famous "Morning"), revives "Manteca," and performs a pair of Kurt Weill standards ( ... see all copies from $4.18! new only from $7.49!
10	Papa Gato (1986) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Percussionist Poncho Sanchez has long led one of the top Latin jazz groups, succeeding his former boss, the late Cal Tjader. On this enjoyable release, Sanchez features plenty of solos from Justo Almario (on alto, tenor, and flute), trumpeter Sal Cracchiolo, and trombonist Art Velasco, and the three percussionists have many opportunities to romp. ... see all copies from $4.75! new only from $8.92!
11 view cover	Here's Ray Bryant (1976) more music like this by Ray Bryant Pianist Ray Bryant teams up with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Grady Tate for a set of soulful and bluesy interpretations of five standards and three originals. Oddly enough there are no 12-bar blues on this date (a Pablo session reissued on CD in the OJC series) but Bryant infuses such songs as "Girl Talk," "Good Morning Heartache" and "Li ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $10.06!
12 view cover	Verve Unmixed, Vol. 2 (2003) more music like this by Various Artists Verve Unmixed, Vol. 2 is a disc of originals to accompany the release of Verve Remixed, Vol. 2, a disc of post-rave dance reworkings from the catalog of post-bop's most important label.

13 view cover	The Colors of Latin Jazz: Cubop! (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This CD features songs that merge blistering bebop with red-hot Afro-Cuban rhythms and what you hear is one of the most exciting styles of Latin jazz -- Cubop.

14 view cover	GRP All-Star Big Band (1992) more music like this by GRP All-Star Big Band When this CD was released, it was a major surprise. GRP is a label whose initial reputation was made on pop-ish jazz. However, co-founders Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen always had a love for the sound of big bands and for hard bop. For this set, they gathered together some of the most notable players on their label to play 12 jazz standards dating ... see all copies from $2.49!
15 view cover	Gillespiana/Carnegie Hall Concert (1960) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This CD combines two complete and related LPs. When Lalo Schifrin joined the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet in 1960, he was encouraged by Gillespie to write an extended work for him. "Gillespiana" was the result, an impressive five-movement suite that showcased the trumpeter's talents with a large orchestra. The latter half of this CD was recorded at ... see all copies from $11.26! new only from $11.26!

17 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!

19 view cover	Dizzy Gillespie and His Big Band (1948) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie The Dizzy Gillespie Big Band was the most innovative jazz orchestra of 1946-1949, proof that bebop was not exclusively a small-group music. All of its recordings are well worth acquiring and this particular CD gives one a well-rounded picture of the orchestra at a concert before an enthusiastic crowd. With prominence given to James Moody's tenor, ... see all copies from $10.40! new only from $10.60!
20 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 10 (1994) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy Gillespie's many collaborations with producer Norman Granz resulted in an impressive body of work that forms the basis for Verve Jazz Masters 10, a grab bag of bop, big band, and mainstream modern jazz recordings made between the years 1950 and 1963. The impressively packed roster of participants includes Roy Eldridge, Charlie Parker, and ... see all copies from $6.30! new only from $10.14!
21 view cover	Jazz Descargas (2001) more music like this by The Conga Kings Some artists go around calling themselves kings or queens when they haven't earned the title, but in the case of the Conga Kings -- Candido Camero, Carlos "Patato" Valdes, and Giovanni Hidalgo -- the word "king" isn't an exaggeration. These conga players really do have long and impressive resumes in the Afro-Cuban field; anyone who is seriously ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $7.98!

While the music constantly looks backwards, with few progressive strains, ... see all copies from $8.68! new only from $8.68!
