1	Harlem Blues (1969) more music like this by Phineas Newborn The superb trio (pianist Phineas Newborn, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Elvin Jones) had never played together before but it didn't matter. They had little trouble finding common ground. The virtuosic pianist (still in peak form) leads the way on such pieces as his "Harlem Blues," "Ray's Idea" (composed decades earlier by Brown) and Horace Silver ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $8.95!
2	Steaming Hot (2004) more music like this by Monty Alexander Steaming Hot serves as an appropriate title for the repackaging of two of pianist Monty Alexander's albums from 1985 and 1995, Full Steam Ahead and Steamin'. Both are trio sets, the first with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Frank Gant, the latter with bassist Ira Coleman and drummer Dion Parson, and serve as a complementary pair. These nice, spare ... see all copies from $16.89! new only from $16.89!

5	The Savoy Story, Vol. 1: Jazz (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The old Savoy catalog gets bounced around from one distributor to the next like an unwanted foster child, with everyone starting from scratch once they get a hold of it. By 1999, it was Atlantic's turn and, hot on the heels of other label retrospectives, they have compiled a very good three-CD anthology of Savoy's jazz activities over 15 years in ... see all copies from $30.84! new only from $30.84!
6	Tempus Fugue-It (2001) more music like this by Bud Powell This is a fascinating, revelatory, deeply moving, and completely captivating collection of Bud Powell material that hasn't readily seen the light of day before, despite the fact that almost all of it has been commercially released at one time or another. The material over these four discs ranges from pre-bebop years, with Cootie Williams from 1944 ... see all copies from $29.40! new only from $29.40!
7	New York Accent (2007) more music like this by Mike DiRubbo Quartet Owned by Cory Weeds, the Cellar Restaurant in Vancouver is considered one of the world's top jazz clubs. The success of Weeds' club has led logically to his formation of the Cellar Live label. On February 2, 2006, the Cellar was host to a top-notch New York quartet. Altoist Mike DiRubbo has a passionate sound and a hard-driving style that are ... see all copies from $9.50! new only from $11.03!
8	Odyssey: 1945-1952 (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This excellent three-disc set contains 64 great songs performed by Dizzy Gillespie and company in varied settings. Odyssey: 1945-1952 chronicles the master trumpeter in small groups, big bands, a session with strings, and also some blues. Among the rare treats on the collection are a full-fledged Gillespie big band score "Interlude (A Night in ... see all copies from $41.85! new only from $41.85!
9	Jazz Piano Anthology: Bop (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Laserlight continues its budget-line jazz piano series with a survey of some of the key bebop players. Starting off with one of the greats from a slightly earlier time, the disc spotlights the highly influential Art Tatum on three cuts; although not considered a bopper, Tatum's sophisticated technique and lightning-fast speed inspired many a ... see all copies from $2.99!
10	Shaw Nuff (1993) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This CD has Dizzy Gillespie's classic Musicraft sides (all except "A Handfulla Gimme"), some of the most famous recordings of his long career.

11 view cover	Jazz in Paris: Byrd in Paris (1958) more music like this by Donald Byrd Trumpeter Donald Byrd spent a few months in France during 1958. A Paris concert resulted in two LPs' worth of material which were reissued on this Polydor CD in 1988. Byrd's quintet at the time included Bobby Jaspar (on tenor and flute), pianist Walter Davis, Jr., bassist Doug Watkins and drummer Art Taylor. Byrd was just beginning to find his own ... see all copies from $8.50! new only from $8.50!
12 view cover	Bird Song (1999) more music like this by Hampton Hawes The essence of this set is Charlie Parker's numerous variations on "I Got Rhythm" and Parker's key blues-based tunes, such as "Confirmation." The result is a spirited, highly communicative session, where pianist Hampton Hawes gets to the core of the bop idiom. It's a mystery why these tracks from 1956 and 1958 went unreleased until 1999. They come ... see all copies from $8.38! new only from $8.38!
13 view cover	Glass Enclosure (1996) more music like this by Danny D'Imperio In his series of releases for V.S.O.P., drummer Danny D'Imperio has successfully kept hard bop not only alive, but creative and fresh. This CD has one of his finest recordings. The arrangements are quite inventive; the 11 rarely recorded songs are superior (including Quincy Jones' "Jessica's Day," Freddie Redd's "Thespian" and Lee Morgan's "Need I ... see all copies from $15.19! new only from $15.19!

16 view cover	Opus de Bop (1957) more music like this by Various Artists Some of tenor-saxophonist Stan Getz's earliest recordings are included on this well-conceived LP.

20 view cover	Blues in Bebop (1998) more music like this by Kenny Dorham Kenny Dorham was a solid and forward-thinking modernist when he emerged in the mid-to-late 1940s. The trumpeter was overshadowed throughout his career by the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard, and became the epitome of the word "underrated." Dorham never recorded as a leader for Savoy other than ... see all copies from $10.77! new only from $10.77!

23 view cover	At the Trianon Ballroom, 1954 (2001) more music like this by Horace Henderson & His Orchestra During what turned out to be an abortive attempt to recapture some of its glory days, the just reopened Trianon Ballroom booked a very good Horace Henderson & His Orchestra into the once highly popular, ornate dance palace. This CD has some of the music from three nights of the orchestra's stand during July of 1954, culled from two broadcast ... see all copies from $15.15! new only from $15.15!
