1	Coltrane for Lovers (1962) more music like this by John Coltrane If you came across a CD titled Getz for Lovers, Prez for Lovers, or Baker for Lovers, you wouldn't be the least bit surprised. After all, Stan Getz, Chet Baker, and Lester "The Pres" Young were all famous for their smooth ballad playing -- if you've been listening to Julie London or June Christy and suddenly find yourself in the mood for something ... see all copies from $2.10! new only from $5.50!
2	The Gentle Side of John Coltrane (1961) more music like this by John Coltrane "Gentle" is a relative term, for while this collection of material is mostly pitched at a slower set of tempos and a more lyrical frame of mind, John Coltrane was no less passionate in a ballad as he was in a roaring frenzy. Originally issued on two LPs, and now as an excellent value on a single CD, The Gentle Side draws nine tracks from the ... see all copies from $4.40! new only from $10.29!
3	Duke Ellington & John Coltrane (1962) more music like this by Duke Ellington w/ John Coltrane For this classic encounter, Duke Ellington "sat in" with the John Coltrane Quartet for a set dominated by Ellington's songs; some performances have his usual sidemen (bassist Aaron Bell and drummer Sam Woodyard) replacing Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones in the group. Although it would have been preferable to hear Coltrane play in the Duke Ellington ... see all copies from $5.46! new only from $10.29!
4	The Impulse! Albums, Vol. 1 (2007) more music like this by John Coltrane As part of its Originals series, the Verve Music Group has begun reissuing -- at a budget price -- the Impulse! recordings of John Coltrane in box set form, as well as single-disc titles. This first volume focuses on some seminal entries from 1961 and 1962. In chronological order they are Africa/Brass, Live at the Village Vanguard, Coltrane, Duke ... see all copies from $33.80! new only from $38.90!
5	Moodsville (2002) more music like this by Bennie Wallace Bennie Wallace is unlike any tenor saxophonist, often alternating between a soulful, fat tone (which is very similar to Ben Webster's approach) and sudden unpredictable jumps (no doubt inspired by alto saxophonist Eric Dolphy). Joined by an outstanding rhythm section consisting of pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Lewis ... see all copies from $10.65! new only from $21.53!
6	In the Mood With Duke Ellington (2002) more music like this by Duke Ellington There are literally hundreds of Ellington collections available, but to its credit, In the Mood With Duke Ellington manages to collect ten tracks from the golden 1940s Blanton-Webster era of Ellington and his orchestra. Not all of the selections are Ellington's most memorable, but a few of his biggest hits are here, including "Take the "A" Train," ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
7	Songs of Billy Strayhorn (1998) more music like this by Ron Gill Vocalist Ron Gill has been on the Boston jazz scene for more than 30 years as a performer on radio, TV, and in clubs. He has also toured with the Duke Ellington Orchestra led by Mercer Ellington. Gill has a special affinity for the music of Ellington's alter ego, Billy Strayhorn, which comes through immediately upon hearing the opening measures of ... see all copies from $1.99!
8	On This Day at the Vanguard (2003) more music like this by Joe Lovano Recorded live at the Village Vanguard, On This Day...At the Vanguard is saxophonist Joe Lovano's first recording with his award-winning nonet since the release of 52nd Street Themes in 2000. Having recorded in a variety of settings ranging from those of big-band leaders Woody Herman and Mel Lewis to duets with Mulgrew Miller on Tenor Legacy to ... see all copies from $15.98! new only from $15.98!
9	So Why Not? (1988) more music like this by Buddy Montgomery There is a lot of variety on this outing by Buddy Montgomery. The first four selections find him playing synthesizer with a fair amount of personality; Montgomery also doubles on vibes during "Waterfall" and acoustic piano on "So Why Not." Those numbers also include tenor saxophonist David "Fathead" Newman, a solid rhythm section, and guest spots ... see all copies from $6.99!
10	Live at the Dakota (2001) more music like this by Von Freeman Tenor legend Von Freeman rarely plays outside his native Chicago, but this belated release documents a two-night stay in St. Paul, MN, in the spring of 1996. The septuagenarian is in tiptop shape, joined by a superb local trio: pianist Bobby Peterson, bassist Terry Burns, and drummer Phil Hey. Like the younger Johnny Griffin, Freeman is an ... see all copies from $10.92!
11 view cover	Blythe Byte (2001) more music like this by Arthur Blythe see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
12	Thank You for Everything (1978) more music like this by Johnny Hartman In 1978, Johnny Hartman was featured twice on Alec Wilder's legendary radio series. This 1998 CD has all of the music from those dates (released commercially for the first time) with Hartman being tastefully accompanied by pianist Loonis McGlohon, bassist Terry Lassiter and drummer James Lackey. Fifty-five at the time, Hartman was still in prime ... see all copies from $9.90! new only from $21.53!
13 view cover	The Blanton-Webster Band (1939) more music like this by Duke Ellington This attractive three-CD set contains the master takes of all 66 selections recorded by Duke Ellington's Orchestra during what many historians consider its peak period. Left out are the many alternate takes, last released by European labels, and the Duke Ellington-Jimmy Blanton duets, which are available on a different CD. Included are dozens of ... see all copies from $29.00! new only from $286.66!
14 view cover	The Duke Ellington Treasury, Vol. 5 [Storyville] (2002) more music like this by Duke Ellington This two-CD set, like others in the Treasury Show series, compiles several programs aired during 1945. With a mix of hits from the vast Ellington songbook, pop songs, a few obscurities, and even a few war bond promos read somewhat nervously by Duke Ellington himself, these live sets might not exactly be programmed like a typical band set during ... see all copies from $39.26! new only from $52.79!
15 view cover	Shoutin', Swingin' & Makin' Love (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Chess Records has never been known for producing much in the way of big-band shouters or jump blues practitioners, but this compilation shows that the label at least dabbled in it from time to time. The Wynonie Harris date with Buddy Guy on guitar stems from 1964 and appears to be his final session. The Jimmy Rushing sides come from a 1953 date ... see all copies from $20.00!
16 view cover	Smiley and Me (1985) more music like this by Mark Levine Pianist Levine with left-handed drummer Smiley Winters. Worth searching for. Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.60! new only from $39.26!
17 view cover	The Treasury Shows, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Duke Ellington This two-CD set includes two broadcasts in the series of Treasury Department transcriptions issued as V-discs during World War II plus a Treasury Star Parade program from 1943 and a portion of a Mutual Broadcasting System program from October, 1945. These live performances have surprisingly good fidelity as they seem to originate from the actual ... see all copies from $54.19! new only from $54.19!
18 view cover	The Colossal Saxophone Session (1992) more music like this by Various Artists This double-CD (originally cut for King) has a remarkable lineup of saxophonists: altoists Frank Morgan, Lee Konitz, Phil Woods, John Zorn, Steve Coleman, Donald Harrison and Craig Bailey, Dave Liebman on soprano, and tenors Archie Shepp, David Murray, Houston Person and Bennie Wallace. In fact, there is so much talent present (with a fine rhythm ... see all copies from $19.95!
19 view cover	The Feeling of Jazz (1996) more music like this by Harold Danko This is an unusual CD. Pianist Harold Danko, tenor saxophonist Rich Perry, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Jeff Hirshfield perform the same seven songs (in the same order) as Duke Ellington and John Coltrane did during the famous recorded meeting in 1962. These renditions are lengthier than the originals, and there is no attempt to imitate Duke ... see all copies from $17.03! new only from $17.03!
20 view cover	Ellington Is Forever, Vol. 1 (1975) more music like this by Kenny Burrell For fans of jazz, it is deeply, satisfyingly appropriate that Kenny Burrell should be the one to organize this splendid homage to Duke Ellington. It is a well-known fact that Burrell was the Duke's favorite guitarist, and legend has it that on one occasion when Burrell couldn't make a date, Ellington chose to cut the guitar part from the score ... see all copies from $16.89! new only from $16.89!
21 view cover	Close Your Eyes (2003) more music like this by Johnny Griffin/Horace Parlan Chicago has long been famous for big-toned tenor men, and when jazz enthusiasts are discussing hard bop tenor giants who have lived in the Windy City, Johnny Griffin's name inevitably comes up, along with the likes of Gene Ammons (who died of cancer in 1974), and Ira Sullivan (who also plays several other wind instruments, including alto and ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
22 view cover	The Deep Forbidden Lake (2005) more music like this by The Jazz Mandolin Project see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
23 view cover	Best of the Everest Years (2000) more music like this by Gloria Lynne Best of the Everest Years is a detailed, four-disc set by vocalist Gloria Lynne that chronicles her recorded output for the label between 1958-1963. All 96 tracks contain the pleasing combination of R&B, jazz, and traditional vocal pop that mixes her earliest chart-toppers like "I Wish You Love" and "I'm Glad There Is You" with a plethora of ... see all copies from $50.00! new only from $50.00!
24 view cover	For Lovers: Chet Baker/John Coltrane/Stan Getz (2005) more music like this by Various Artists For Lovers: Chet Baker/John Coltrane/Stan Getz collects all three of the Verve compilations into one bargain-priced box set. While these are by no means the best representations of each artist's career, they are superb single-disc collections perfectly suited for romantic afterglow situations. Included are such iconic cuts as trumpeter Chet Baker ... see all copies from $27.26! new only from $27.26!
25 view cover	Solitude (1997) more music like this by Al Hibbler Al Hibbler took advantage of Duke Ellington's policy of letting members of his orchestra record on their own as he made these cuts for the Chess label over a period of two years in the late '40s. While singularly expressive, Hibbler had not yet adopted the exaggerated delivery style that was to characterize his later recordings. But he already had ... see all copies from $6.82! new only from $6.82!
