1	Hot House Flowers (1984) more music like this by Wynton Marsalis Wynton Marsalis, very much in his Miles Davis period, plays quite melodically throughout this ballad-dominated outing with strings. Branford Marsalis (on tenor and soprano), flutist Kent Jordan, pianist Kenny Kirkland, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Jeff Watts are strong assets but it is Wynton's subtle creativity on such songs as "Stardust," ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.11!
2	Think of One (1983) more music like this by Wynton Marsalis In his early years after leaving Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Wynton Marsalis strode forth with this excellent recording, his second as a leader, done in tandem with brother Branford, also out of Blakey's herd. The combination of the two siblings created quite a buzz in the music community, and this recording, which may stand the test of time as ... see all copies from $2.58! new only from $8.91!
3	War Orphans (1998) more music like this by Bobo Stenson Trio While the last Bobo Stenson Trio offering found the band cohesively searching for a new harmonic language together and separately as composers, on War Orphans they seem to have found it. Stenson (piano), Anders Jormin (double bass), and Jon Christensen (drums) have sought to distill their tonal language into meditational musical space. They are ... see all copies from $14.20! new only from $14.20!
4	Duke in Blue (1999) more music like this by Ellis Marsalis Recorded during Duke Ellington's centennial year, this solo piano date by Ellis Marsalis is a tasteful tribute to Ellington. Marsalis expertly performs 15 songs from Duke's repertoire (including three tunes in a medley), sometimes modernizing the chords but always keeping the melody close by. The problem with the recital from the listener's ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
5	Snowy Morning Blues (1990) more music like this by Howard Alden Trio with Monty Alexander Guitarist Howard Alden welcomes bassist Lynn Seaton, drummer Dennis Mackrel and on most selections pianist Monty Alexander to this rewarding Concord CD. The repertoire ranges from James P. Johnson's "Snowy Morning Blues" and Django Reinhardt's "Swing 39" to a couple of lesser-known Duke Ellington songs and Thelonious Monk's "Bye-Ya" and "Ask Me ... see all copies from $14.50!
6	The Antidote (1998) more music like this by Marc Cary Pianist Marc Cary presents a different approach with this recording. No drummer but two percussionists, Daniel Moreno and Yarbrough Charles Laws are holding down the rhythm. This allows the music to breathe in unique Afro-Cuban, labyrinth dark, or more contemporized ways. Cary also plays piano solo and in duet with saxophonist Ron Blake. Bassist ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.97!
7	Ellingtonia: Justin Time Toasts Duke (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Canadians loved Duke Ellington just as much, as evidenced by these eleven tracks culled from the two decades of recordings by the Justin Time label. Most leaders are born Canucks, save Johnny O'Neal, Denny Christianson, Hilario Duran and Ranee Lee, who have all lived north of the border for considerable periods. The pianists are most impressive. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.71!
8	Free Trade (1994) more music like this by Free Trade Five top Canadian musicians who were living in New York (pianist Renee Rosnes, guitarist Peter Leitch, saxophonist Ralph Bowen, bassist Neil Swainson and drummer Terry Clarke) teamed up to form this co-op quintet. The music (five originals and four mostly lesser-known jazz standards) is adventurous without being innovative with such songs as ... see all copies from $15.30! new only from $15.30!
9	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 $15.00!
10	Anthology 1928-1954 (2007) more music like this by Duke Ellington Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington was a gifted composer, a brilliant bandleader, and a skilled pianist who, like Fats Waller, learned his craft from James P. Johnson, Luckey Roberts, and Willie "The Lion" Smith. In 2007 the French Cabu label did the world a favor by releasing a double-disc anthology containing some of Duke Ellington's all-time ... see all copies from $12.03! new only from $12.03!
11 view cover	The Offering (2008) more music like this by Larry Willis On his third date for Highnote, pianist Larry Willis makes only one personnel change, replacing Joe Ford's alto with Eric Alexander's tenor, leaving the rhythm section of Eddie Gómez and Billy Drummond intact. As is his wont, Willis explores a program of unusual tunes, both covers and originals that offer a wonderfully idiosyncratic view of both ... see all copies from $14.95! new only from $14.95!
12 view cover	Stability (2001) more music like this by Clark Tracey Scion of foremost English jazz pianist Stan Tracey, drummer Clark Tracey has gathered a group of top-of-the-list U.K. jazz artists for a session that incorporates a variety of playing modes, including a contribution by Irish avant-garde singer Christine Tobin. There's hard bop, some smooth jazz, and pretty ballads with a string quartet in ... see all copies from $16.38! new only from $16.38!
13	Chicago Overtones (2005) more music like this by Daniele d'Agaro The music on this pianoless quartet date is full of color, life and wit, ranging from hints of trad to brief free moments, from Leadbelly and Albert Ayler to a pair of obscure Duke Ellington songs. While tenor-saxophonist Daniele D'Agaro (doubling on clarinet) has plenty of inventive spots, and bassist Ken Kessler and drummer Robert Barry keep the ... see all copies from $40.49! new only from $40.49!
14	Four for All (1987) more music like this by Sphere Although Sphere was initially formed by Kenny Barron, Buster Williams, Charlie Rouse, and Ben Riley to honor Thelonious Monk, their repertoire expanded far beyond his compositions. There is only one piece by Monk included here, a very playful arrangement of "San Francisco Holiday" (or "Worry Later," as it was tentatively titled by Riverside ... see all copies from $20.94!
15 view cover	Cruisin' (1993) more music like this by Junko Onishi Trio On her debut, pianist Junko Onishi (who is accompanied by bassist Rodney Whitaker and drummer Billy Higgins) shows a great deal of creativity. She builds up her "Eulogia" gradually and colorfully with impressive use of the piano's lower register. When she tackles Ornette Coleman's "Congeniality," Onishi manages to be both free and melodic and the ... see all copies from $41.99! new only from $41.99!
16 view cover	Piano Reflections (1953) more music like this by Duke Ellington At the time of its release this was a true rarity, a full album of Duke Ellington featured with a trio sans his orchestra. Although his talents at the piano sometimes have been overshadowed by his many accomplishments as a composer, arranger, and bandleader, Ellington was actually one of the very few stride pianists (along with Mary Lou Williams) ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
17 view cover	Scenes from a Song (2001) more music like this by John Hart Trio After about 50 recordings as a sideman, this is the versatile John Hart's seventh album as a leader and the first with his fine new trio, and it's an intriguing combination of bold and dreamy. The bold arrives with the first dissonant chord, which leads into the droll and funky "Slacker's Hideaway." It's also evident on Hart's pulse-pounding ... see all copies from $18.07! new only from $18.07!
