1	Art Pepper + Eleven: Modern Jazz Classics (1959) more music like this by Art Pepper This is a true classic. Altoist Art Pepper is joined by an 11-piece band playing Marty Paich arrangements of a dozen jazz standards from the bop and cool jazz era. Trumpeter Jack Sheldon has a few solos, but the focus is very much on the altoist who is in peak form for this period. The CD reissue adds two additional versions of "Walkin'" and one ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
2	Opus de Jazz (1955) more music like this by Milt Jackson This Savoy CD is a duplicate of the original LP although it lacks the fine liner notes included on the Arista/Savoy 1978 LP. The four selections (which unfortunately total under 34 minutes) are excellent, particularly a fun version of Horace Silver's blues "Opus De Funk" in which vibraphonist Milt Jackson, flutist Frank Wess and pianist Hank Jones ... see all copies from $11.23! new only from $11.23!
3	Goodbye (1972) more music like this by Milt Jackson Recorded in 1973 as a foray away from the Modern Jazz Quartet, Milt Jackson's second entry on the CTI label is also one of its highlights. This is one of Creed Taylor's finest productions both in terms of material and sidemen. Drummer Steve Gadd, flutist Hubert Laws, bassist Ron Carter, and pianist Cedar Walton accompany Jackson on the majority of ... see all copies from $9.36!
4	Bags of Soul (2007) more music like this by Milt Jackson see all copies from $23.04! new only from $23.04!
5	Retrospective (1999) more music like this by Horace Silver Career-spanning retrospectives are always difficult to pull off in jazz, since the music is often about the moment. An artist can peak for a few years, and that's what's worth hearing -- the rest is interesting, but not quite as compelling, as a lengthy four-disc box set can prove. That certainly isn't the case with the four-disc Horace Silver ... see all copies from $56.49! new only from $56.49!
6	The Feeling of Jazz (1999) more music like this by Tommy Newsom & Ken Peplowski This is a pairing of two tenor saxophonists not known for their work on that instrument. Newsome played mostly alto in the Tonight Show Big Band, while Peplowski is a prominent clarinetist, with his own groups and with Mel Tormé. Together they play delightful mainstream jazz, mostly standards, in as mellifluous a manner as one could ever need. ... see all copies from $11.29! new only from $11.29!
7	Straight Ahead (1988) more music like this by Barbara Dennerlein After several recordings on her own Bebap label and for a few tiny German companies, organist Barbara Dennerlein came to the attention of a larger public with the release of this superior effort for Enja. Teamed up with eccentric trombonist Ray Anderson, fiery guitarist Mitch Watkins, and drummer Ronnie Burrage, Dennerlein performs six of her ... see all copies from $7.65! new only from $24.79!
8	Rev-elation (2005) more music like this by Joe Locke Joe Locke was invited to join Milt Jackson's former rhythm section (pianist Mike LeDonne, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer Mickey Roker) for an engagement at Smoke in New York City that served as a tribute to the late vibraphonist. They gelled as a group and promptly booked a week at Ronnie Scott's in London, where this CD was recorded, primarily ... see all copies from $13.90! new only from $13.90!
9	The Best of Horace Silver, Vol. 1 (1953) more music like this by Horace Silver Taking in Horace Silver's fertile '50s stretch (volume two covers the '60s), this Blue Note best-of disc is the perfect introductory set for listeners new to the hard bop giant. One of the first of the soul-jazz innovators (listen to that gospel-fired left hand and all that dancefloor-friendly material), Silver also wrote some of the most original ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
10	The Prestige Years (2004) more music like this by Jack McDuff The history of jazz is full of great musicians who died tragically young; Clifford Brown, Bix Beiderbecke, Eric Dolphy, Fats Navarro, Charlie Christian, Booker Little, and the seminal Charlie Parker were among the many legendary improvisers who died in their twenties or thirties. But when Jack McDuff passed away on January 23, 2001, at the age of ... see all copies from $16.89! new only from $16.89!
11 view cover	Opus de Funk (1961) more music like this by Johnny "Hammond" Smith While organist Johnny "Hammond" Smith never attained the status of Jimmy Smith, he nonetheless fronted first-rate bands and accumulated a fine discography. Recorded in 1961, Opus de Funk brings together two Smith albums in one package, Stimulation and Opus de Funk. Since the same band -- vibraphonist Freddie McCoy, guitarist Eddie McFadden, ... see all copies from $13.44! new only from $13.44!
12 view cover	Ready-Get Set-Jump (1992) more music like this by Woody Herman & His Orchestra see all copies from $6.49! new only from $14.29!
13 view cover	Blue Piano, Vol. 1 (1939) more music like this by Various Artists On this sampler there are 14 performances by a variety of pianists from the first 15 years of Blue Note Records. Few of the recordings are particularly rare but the CD does give one a fine sampling of boogie-woogie (Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis and Pete Johnson), swing and stride (Earl Hines, James P. Johnson, Nat Cole, Art Tatum and Art Hodes) ... see all copies from $6.00!
14 view cover	Prelude to a Kiss (2006) more music like this by Horace Silver see all copies from $7.71! new only from $7.71!
15 view cover	A Proper Introduction to Horace Silver: Doodlin' (2006) more music like this by Horace Silver see all copies from $11.45! new only from $11.45!
16 view cover	Woody Herman & His Orchestra: 1956 (2000) more music like this by Woody Herman & His Orchestra Woody Herman's Third Herd was in its later years when it appeared at the Lagoon in Salt Lake City in July 1956. This two-CD set of previously unreleased material features the Herd performing live during a two-day period. At the time, the key soloists included trombonist Bill Harris (a veteran of the First and Second Herds); trumpeter Dick Collins; ... see all copies from $47.80! new only from $47.80!
17 view cover	Safari (1999) more music like this by Horace Silver see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
18 view cover	The Jazz Giants Play Horace Silver: Opus de Funk (1954) more music like this by Various Artists Now here is a really enterprising subject for a songbook album -- a composer who was not a Tin Pan Alley pop craftsman and whose output had not been anthologized until this release. True, Silver wrote fewer standards than, say, Porter or the Gershwins, and fewer jazz artists covered them, thus limiting Fantasy's choices (the zany Eddie Jefferson ... see all copies from $35.00!
19 view cover	Electrician's Hall Miami, FL, Vol. 1 (1998) more music like this by Woody Herman The first of two CDs recorded during a 1957 concert in Miami by Woody Herman is a bit of mixed bag. Though Herman's band swings mightily, the performance was recorded with just one microphone, so the balance between instruments is inconsistent at times and the soloists are often not clearly audible. But the brass and reed sections are always ... see all copies from $9.72!
20 view cover	The Jazz Hour (1957) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $40.00!
21 view cover	After the Riot at Newport (1989) more music like this by The Nashville All-Stars The Nashville All-Stars is a group of Nashville sessionmen, including pianist Floyd Cramer, saxophonist Boots Randolph, Gary Burton, Hank Garland, and Chet Atkins. Their debut, After the Riot in Newport, is a surprisingly jazzy effort, highllighted by some excellent leads by Atkins, yet it is a bit too down-home for jazzbos, and a bit too polished ... see all copies from $60.00!
22 view cover	Horace Silver Trio, Vol. 1: Spotlight on Drums (1952) more music like this by Horace Silver Trio This CD reissue has pianist Horace Silver's first sessions as a leader, trios with drummer Art Blakey and either Gene Ramey, Curly Russell or Percy Heath on bass. Silver already had his funky style pretty well together by 1952 (two years after being discovered by Stan Getz), and the program is most notable for introducing his compositions "Ecaroh" ... see all copies from $8.17! new only from $27.71!
23	Woody's Winners (1965) more music like this by Woody Herman Of the many exciting recordings by the Swinging Herd of the '60s, this is the definitive set. With such soloists as trumpeters Bill Chase, Dusko Goykovich, and Don Rader, and tenors Sal Nistico, Andrew McGhee, and Gary Klein, this orchestra rarely had any difficulty raising the temperature. Recorded live at Basin Street West in late June of 1965, ... see all copies from $15.59!
24	The Trio Sides (1952) more music like this by Horace Silver This double LP includes all of Horace Silver's trio recordings for Blue Note including 14 selections from 1952-3 and nine other performances dating from 1956-68 when he normally recorded with his quintet. Silver, a highly individual composer and pianist whose funky style became very influential by the late '50s, is sometimes overlooked as a ... see all copies from $18.00!
25 view cover	Opus de Funk (2004) more music like this by Horace Silver see all copies from $29.44! new only from $29.44!
