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	At Newport (1957) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This CD features Dizzy Gillespie's second great big band at the peak of its powers. On the rapid "Dizzy's Blues" and a truly blazing "Cool Breeze," the orchestra really roars; the latter performance features extraordinary solos by Gillespie, trombonist Al Grey, and tenor saxophonist Billy Mitchell. In addition to fine renditions of "Manteca" and ... see all copies from $8.88! new only from $9.98!
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Dizzy Gillespie Pairing Dizzy Gillespie with Cuban arranger/composer Chico O'Farrill produced a stunning session which originally made up the first half of a Norgran LP. 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!
6	One More Trip to Birdland (1996) more music like this by Maynard Ferguson & Big Bop Nouveau Even at the age of 67, Maynard Ferguson shows on this CD that he could still belt out the high notes. His "Big Bop Noveau" band consists of four trumpets, trombonist Tom Garling (who takes a rockish guitar solo on "Birdland"), Matt Wallace and Chris Farr on saxophones, and a rhythm section. With the exception of "Birdland," the music is strictly ... see all copies from $9.52! new only from $9.52!
7	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. Several historically crucial recordings from prior to Sandoval's 1990 defection are included -- spots with Irakere and Dizzy Gillespie's United Nations Orchestra, the ... see all copies from $4.29! new only from $15.70!
8	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!
9	A Night in Tunisia: The Very Best of Dizzy Gillespie (2006) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Many arguments can be made as to which cuts constitute the "very best" of Dizzy Gillespie. These 14 cuts can certainly be argued for in making a solid case for the great trumpeter, bandleader, and composer. These tracks, all of which were cut for RCA between February of 1946 and July of 1949, still sound vital and progressive in the 21st century. ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
10	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!
11 view cover	Live at Jazz Alley (1990) more music like this by Mongo Santamaria This is as close to Latin purist Mongo as we have heard in recent years, an eight-piece salsa band -- including several members of the 1997 Tito Puente ensemble, like trumpeter Ray Vega, altoist Bobby Porcelli and tenorman Mitch Frohman -- playing a brace of Mongo classics and Latin jazz pieces live before a hushed crowd in Seattle's Jazz Alley. ... see all copies from $3.34! new only from $6.95!
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. While such an undertaking shouldn't be considered "Verve's Greatest Hits," dance fans especially will find common ground with the remixers who chose the selections ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $6.17!
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. 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!
14 view cover	Ritmo de la Noche/Rhythm of the Night: The Very Best of Latin Jazz (2002) more music like this by Various Artists "The Very Best of Latin Jazz" is a concept that could fill a box set, even if you limited it to just the Columbia vaults, as this single-disc anthology does. This survey -- maybe it's not meant to be all-encompassing, but they bring that onus upon themselves by using the title "The Very Best of Latin Jazz" -- has shortcomings for those looking for ... see all copies from $5.61! new only from $5.61!
15 view cover	Jazz 101: Introduction to Latin Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Though it's not difficult to find good songs within the rich and varied Latin jazz tradition, Concord has done a fine job here of collecting some of the best. Tito Puente's "Oyo Como Va" (which gained more fame when covered by Santana), Mongo Santamaria's "Manteca," and Ray Barretto's "Ancestral Messages" are among the highlights. Stacia ... see all copies from $4.28! new only from $7.65!
16 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	Afro Blue: The Picante Collection (1987) more music like this by Mongo Santamaria In assembling its own "Mongo's Greatest Hits" entry, Concord Picante had only a slim catalog of four albums, a narrow time frame, and one of Mongo's less incendiary phases to choose from. But they stuck with a purist concept, avoiding pop covers and experiments, targeting Mongo's vintage standards and numbers that conjure some of the old Afro ... see all copies from $8.92! new only from $8.92!
18 view cover	BD Jazz (2004) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie see all copies from $6.49! new only from $6.49!
19 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!
20 view cover	Manteca [Jazz Hour] (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
21 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!
22 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!
23 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!
24 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!
25 view cover	Get Lucky (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $3.87!
