1	Q: The Musical Biography of Quincy Jones (2001) more music like this by Quincy Jones Although Rhino's four-disc box set, Q: The Musical Biography of Quincy Jones, was released to coincide with Quincy Jones' autobiography, and that's what gives the set the title, the set would have an appropriate moniker even if Jones hadn't put his life story to paper. That's because this box set really does tell his story, partially because its ... see all copies from $52.90! new only from $52.90!
2	The Quintessence (1961) more music like this by Quincy Jones & His Orchestra The Quintessence is perhaps the most accurate title ever given to a Quincy Jones & His Orchestra recording. Issued in 1961 for Impulse!, this is the sound of the modern, progressive big band at its pinnacle. Recorded in three sessions, the core of the band consists of Melba Liston, Phil Woods, Julius Watkins, and bassist Milt Hinton and pianist ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.39!
3	Quincy Jones' Finest Hour (2000) more music like this by Quincy Jones It has been questioned whether Quincy Jones will best be remembered as a producer of pop hits (Thriller) or for his massive jazz output. After an unsuccessful early attempt as a jazz trumpeter, Jones focused on the challenges of his main interest, arranging and conducting. As part of the Finest Hour series from Verve, 15 of Jones arrangements from ... see all copies from $3.49! new only from $9.91!
4	Left and Right (1968) more music like this by Rahsaan Roland Kirk The title of this album, Left and Right, no doubt refers to the sides of Rahsaan Roland Kirk's brain, which were both heavily taxed in the composing, arranging, conducting, and playing of this recording. For starters, the band is huge -- 17 players plus a 16-piece string section, all of it arranged and conducted by Kirk, a blind man. None of this ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
5	Supreme (1966) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins see all copies from $15.33! new only from $15.33!
6	Swingchronicity (2007) more music like this by Phil Woods/DePaul University Jazz Ensemble At the time this recording was made in the spring of 2006, the DePaul University Jazz Ensemble was one of the top college jazz bands. With tight ensembles and inspired solos by its members, the big band is heard live at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago, directed by veteran educator Bob Lark, who is also a fine trumpeter and flugelhornist. The band ... see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
7	Today and Now (1963) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins A very nice digital reissue of a very congenial and nicely played Coleman Hawkins Quartet release. Not always the most compelling title from the Hawkins catalog, the record at least has the virtue of both being listenable and worthy of somewhat deeper inspection. Steven McDonald, All Music Guide see all copies from $38.68! new only from $38.68!
8	Boss Brass & Woods (1985) more music like this by Rob McConnell & The Boss Brass Rob McConnell's 22-piece Boss Brass welcomes alto great Phil Woods to four of the eight selections on this release, including a remake of Woods' famous feature with Quincy Jones, "Quintessence"; the altoist also tears into "Out of Nowhere." McConnell's swinging arrangements are full of subtle creativity, as shown during fresh versions of "If ... see all copies from $6.95!
9	Essentials of Jazz (2001) more music like this by Quintessence Saxophone Quintet see all copies from $11.19! new only from $11.19!
10	Aces Back to Back (1968) more music like this by Rahsaan Roland Kirk Whether or not the four individual albums packaged with in Aces Back to Back are among Rahsaan Roland Kirk's finest is of no consequence. The fact that they have been assembled in a package that offers the listener a sense of Kirk's development and continuity is the issue here. And in this way, Aces Back to Back is a supreme collection. The four ... see all copies from $29.99!
11	Warm more music like this by Larry Nozero see all copies from $24.99! new only from $24.99!
12 view cover	Out of the Shadows (2008) more music like this by Chris Vadala Chris Vadala plays just about every popular reed instrument on his debut recording as a leader. Having worked extensively with flügelhornist Chuck Mangione, one might expect a more contemporary jazz session, but Vadala begins with a slow blues, "Out of the Shadows," that finds him clearly in the John Coltrane camp on tenor. Another original, "Club ... see all copies from $14.34! new only from $14.34!
