1	Tonight at Noon (1957) more music like this by Charles Mingus Tonight at Noon is, essentially, a compilation album -- although not in the usual sense. There are two distinct sessions that make up its contents: a 1957 date with Jimmy Knepper on trombone, drummer Dannie Richmond, saxophonist Shafi Hadi, and pianist Wade Legge, and a 1960 session with Booker Ervin, Roland Kirk on saxes, Knepper, bassist Doug ... see all copies from $8.88! new only from $8.88!
2	Rush Hour (1994) more music like this by Joe Lovano This is one of the most exciting jazz releases of 1995. Joe Lovano is showcased on four songs backed by a string section, is accompanied by a stringless big band filled with woodwinds and brass during four other pieces, performs Ornette Coleman's "Kathline Gray" with a chamber group, takes two songs as duets with his wife Judi Silvano (who ... see all copies from $2.49!
3	Fables of Faubus [Jazz Time] (1964) more music like this by Charles Mingus More great music from the European tour. This is the Paris concert where Johnny Coles had to be rushed to the hospital mid-performance. The show went on. Michael Katz, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.26!
4	Epitaph (1990) more music like this by Charles Mingus Musicologist/conductor Gunther Schuller discovered and restored this massive, 130-minute work by the late bassist, then presented it in concert in New York in 1989. Scored for 30-piece jazz orchestra, Epitaph is thought by Schuller to have been worked on between 1940 and 1962. Amazingly enough, six of the players specified in the score appear on ... see all copies from $68.56! new only from $68.56!
5	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Charles Mingus In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $4.90! new only from $4.90!
6	Standards First (2000) more music like this by Yoav Ploachek see all copies from $3.21! new only from $10.70!
7	Vintage Hampton (1965) more music like this by Lionel Hampton During 1977, vibraphonist Lionel Hampton had the opportunity to record full albums with all-star groups headed by Charles Mingus (a nonet also including Woody Shaw and Gerry Mulligan), Mulligan, Dexter Gordon, Buddy Rich, Teddy Wilson and Earl Hines, among many others. One or two selections from each of those sets are included in this 1993 CD ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $8.53!
8	Rises's Rose Garden (2006) more music like this by Richie Cole & the Alto Madness Orchestra On this two-CD set, veteran altoist Richie Cole leads his Alto Madness Orchestra. Despite the name of the group, the arrangements are often dance band-oriented, melodic and quite safe. The happy craziness of Cole's earlier recordings is mostly heard in his solos and that of such fine sidemen as trumpeter Jack Walrath, trombonist Rick Stepton, ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $16.14!
9	Passions of a Man: The Complete Atlantic Recordings (1956-1961) (1956) more music like this by Charles Mingus Passions of a Man: The Complete Atlantic Recordings (1956-1961) presents an interesting problem. There's little arguing that the music on Passions of a Man is seminal, ranking among his very best recordings. The question is whether the six-disc set is indispensable, considering that it is low on unreleased material and boasts one full interview ... see all copies from $30.00! new only from $82.14!
10	Vibrations (2001) more music like this by Lionel Hampton see all copies from $11.24! new only from $11.24!
11	Freedom Jazz Dance (1996) more music like this by Larry Schneider Trio see all copies from $16.41! new only from $16.41!
12	Rodrigo Ferrari-Nunes Presents: The Bias Project, Vol. 1 (2005) more music like this by Rodrigo Ferrari-Nunes In the jazz world, the electric bass is almost always used to play fusion, jazz-funk or crossover jazz -- not hard bop, post-bop, cool jazz, swing, classic jazz, third stream or Dixieland. There is a great deal of "acoustic snobbery" among jazz purists, who would have us believe that the late electric bass virtuoso Jaco Pastorius was really a rock ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $5.00!
13 view cover	Charles Mingus in Paris: The Complete America Session (2006) more music like this by Charles Mingus The music on Charles Mingus' In Paris: The Complete America Session originally appeared on two separate LPs issued by America and were duly reissued by several labels as Reincarnation of a Lovebird (though not to be confused with the earlier album of the same title made for Candid). After a five year layoff from doing any studio recording, Mingus ... see all copies from $17.41! new only from $17.41!
14 view cover	Piano Quintet Suite (1995) more music like this by Junko Onishi Pianist Junko Onishi's CD has the feel of a Charles Mingus date, a condition helped out by the inclusion of two Mingus tunes, Billy Strayhorn's "Take the 'A' Train" (here attributed mistakenly to Duke Ellington) and the episodic "Piano Quintet Suite." Onishi is a strong pianist who retains tight control over her colorful sidemen yet gives them ... see all copies from $12.00!
15 view cover	Sunshine of My Soul: Live at the Keystone Korner (2007) more music like this by Jaki Byard This High Note Jaki Byard date titled Sunshine of My Soul is not a reissue of the 1967 issue by Prestige. In fact, it was recorded by Todd Barkan in 1978 at the Keystone Korner in San Francisco and produced for release on compact disc by Joe Fields. This is Byard solo, working magic as few other pianists have ever been able to and embodying most ... see all copies from $14.72! new only from $14.72!
16 view cover	Peggy's Blue Skylight (2000) more music like this by Andy Summers In a similar vein as his 1999 release Green Chimneys: The Music of Thelonious Monk, guitarist Summers now offers tribute to jazz pioneer Charles Mingus. The collection is a little cobbled together, with an ill-conceived rap from Q-Tip over "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" and a sparse, unfunky reading of "Cumbia Jazz Fusion," but the former Policeman's ... see all copies from $9.95!
17 view cover	The Sound of Jazz, Volume 5 (1999) more music like this by Charles Mingus see all copies from $11.53!
18 view cover	The Unique (2003) more music like this by Charles Mingus see all copies from $5.53! new only from $5.53!
19 view cover	Jazz Classics (1995) more music like this by Charles Mingus see all copies from $11.00!
20 view cover	Revenge! (1964) more music like this by Charles Mingus Of all of bassist Charles Mingus' bands, one of the most exciting was the sextet that he took to Europe in 1964. Consisting of the unique Eric Dolphy (on alto, bass clarinet and flute), tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist Jaki Byard, drummer Dannie Richmond and trumpeter Johnny Coles, this band really stretched the limits of bebop. Mingus ... see all copies from $44.99!
21	The Sound of Jazz, Vol. 1 [Who's Who] (2000) more music like this by Various Artists An eccentric collection of jazz personalities from the 1960s to the '80s, Sound of Jazz, Vol. 1 includes tracks by Wynton Marsalis, Ahmad Jamal, Claude Bolling, Dexter Gordon & Lionel Hampton, Sonny Stitt and Chick Corea. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.95!
22 view cover	Jazz Collection [Madacy] (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $6.48!
23 view cover	Blind Date (1995) more music like this by Larry Schneider Tenor saxophonist Larry Schneider and pianist Andy LaVerne make a great team. Their follow-up date to an earlier duo session for Steeplechase CD (Bill Evans Person We Knew) adds bassist Mike Richmond and drummer Keith Copeland to create a fiery quartet. LaVerne's "Blind Date" has an infectious hook and will invite obvious comparisons to the ... see all copies from $16.41! new only from $16.41!
24 view cover	Total Swing, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this by Lionel Hampton & Charles Mingus see all copies from $4.35! new only from $4.35!
25 view cover	Town Hall Concert [1962] (1962) more music like this by Charles Mingus The concert, which was billed as an open recording session with audience, was a shambles, with copyists seated on stage working feverishly even as the performance was going on. The record is pretty much a disaster as well, even with players such as Snooky Young, Britt Woodman, Charles McPherson, Eric Dolphy, Lee Konitz and Dannie Richmond along ... see all copies from $5.99!
