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.

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!

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	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!

15 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!

21 view cover	Miles Davis, Vol. 1 [Japan] (2003) more music like this by Miles Davis Miles Davis, Vol. 1, the Japanese reissue of his first recording for the Blue Note label, is distinguishable from its American counterparts by an odd-sized paper sleeve and the addition of an alternate master of "Would'n You."
