5	Timeless (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker Alto saxophonist Charlie Parker was instrumental in tipping jazz over from the swing genre, which was predominantly a dance music, to bop, which aspired to art, an intellectual dance if you will, and this mid-'40s sea change began to alter the way audiences approached jazz, and pop music in general. The recordings included in this selection of ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.98!
6	Your Ace from Space (1995) more music like this by U-Roy and Friends U-Roy had already made the rounds of producers and cut a handful of singles which had created quite a stir in the underground scene. But it was only after the DJ hooked up with producer Duke Reid that the rest of Jamaica awoke to the DJ's charms.

7	Burnin' Bird (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker This Savoy compilation features various recordings made by saxophonist Charlie Parker during the mid- to late- '40s.

10	Ivory Bill (1997) more music like this by Dan Plosney Plonsey recorded these 22 mostly very short pieces using various combinations of overdubbed saxophones -- soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone.

14 view cover	Complete Savoy and Dial Recordings (2000) more music like this by Miles Davis The people behind the Definitive Classics reissue label want you to become more familiar with classic early modern jazz.

15 view cover	BlueBird: Legendary Savoy Sessions (2000) more music like this by Charlie Parker & Miles Davis Can you find the glaring omission in this otherwise excellent overview of Charlie Parker's Savoy studio recordings? Definitive, belying their label's very name, left three titles off of BlueBird: Legendary Savoy Sessions.
