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 $50.96! new only from $50.96!
2	Mongo's Greatest Hits (1958) more music like this by Mongo Santamaria This is a excellent single-disc sampler of what Mongo Santamaria was like before "Watermelon Man" catapulted him into the charts. Some of the Fantasy tracks sound like the musicians were just off the boat from Havana, and are a bit primitive in contrast to the brassy Santamaria of the mid- to late '60s, but they have overwhelming charm. The ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $15.48!
3	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!
4	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Dizzy Gillespie Pairing Dizzy Gillespie with Cuban arranger/composer Chico O'Farrill produced a stunning session which originally made up the first half of a Norgran LP. O'Farrill conducts an expanded orchestra which combines a jazz band with a Latin rhythm section; among the participants in the four-part "Manteca Suite" are trumpeters Quincy Jones and Ernie ... see all copies from $7.40! new only from $11.26!
5	Manteca (1958) more music like this by Red Garland Trio with Ray Barretto This is a solid CD reissue that differs from most sets by pianist Red Garland in that, in addition to bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Art Taylor, he employs Ray Barretto on conga. The Latin flavor does not affect the music much (other than on the title cut), but Barretto does light a fire under the other musicians. In addition to the original ... see all copies from $9.39! new only from $9.39!
6	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 $16.00! new only from $21.00!
7	Tokyo Debut (1977) more music like this by Art Pepper After Art Pepper returned to the scene in 1975, it took him two years to get noticed outside of Los Angeles. His initial visit to Japan was a major turning point, and music from one of the very well-received concerts was released for the first time on this 1995 CD. Pepper performs four numbers -- "Cherokee," ahis original "The Spirit Is Here," a ... see all copies from $9.91! new only from $9.91!
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	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. This powerful collection, the second in the Colors of Latin Jazz series, spotlights essential performances by both Latin jazz pioneers and contemporary innovators that have recorded for ... see all copies from $7.87! new only from $7.87!
10	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!

13 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!
14 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!
15 view cover	Fiesta Picante: The Latin Jazz Party Collection (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Reaching all the way back to the beginnings of Concord Picante in 1979, which was originally created for the pleasure of the late Cal Tjader, Fiesta Picante traces nearly the entire history of the label in what amounts to a greatest-hits collection with a non-stop groove. While the music constantly looks backwards, with few progressive strains, ... see all copies from $8.68! new only from $8.68!

18 view cover	Bebop Professor (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Veteran jazz producer Orrin Keepnews once stated that there are basically two types of jazz: before Charlie Parker and after Charlie Parker. Keepnews wasn't saying that bop, modal post-bop, third stream, and free jazz were identical, or that Dixieland sounded exactly like swing. His point was that in certain respects, Bird changed jazz forever. ... see all copies from $11.17! new only from $11.17!
19 view cover	Things to Come [Telarc] (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars The Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars are a "ghost" band of sorts run by trumpeter and Gillespie protégé Jon Faddis. Recorded to celebrate the music and memory of Gillespie, Things to Come is a fiery live recording made in September of 2000 at the Manchester Craftsmen's Guild; all proceeds from the sale of this disc go directly to the Craftsmen's ... see all copies from $15.48! new only from $15.48!
20 view cover	Groovin' High [Living Era] (2005) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Sorting through the dozen or so Dizzy Gillespie comps called Groovin' High can be a daunting exercise. This one, from Living Era/ASV is significantly different from all the rest. It begins with the title track by Dizzy Gillespie's classic sextet with Charlie Parker (the same cut appears first on Parker's compilation on this label). And it does ... see all copies from $10.76! new only from $10.76!
21 view cover	Dizzy's 80th Birthday Party (1997) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars To celebrate the late trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's 80th birthday (he had made it to 75), trumpeter Jon Faddis heads a tribute to Gillespie. Faddis, Dizzy's greatest protégé, can sound just like Gillespie (no mean feat), but actually has a much wider range and can play stratospheric high notes perfectly in tune. Joined by either altoist Antonio Hart ... see all copies from $15.50! new only from $15.50!
