1	The Little Giant (1959) more music like this by Johnny Griffin This CD reissue is a bit offbeat, for the set by tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin features three originals by then-obscure pianist Norman Simmons, a reworking of the pop tune "Playmates," Babs Gonzalez's "Lonely One" and the tenor's "63rd Street Theme." Simmons' arrangements for the three horns (which include trumpeter Blue Mitchell and trombonist ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $10.80!
2	Dots and Loops (1997) more music like this by Stereolab On Emperor Tomato Ketchup, Stereolab moved in two directions simultaneously -- it explored funkier dance rhythms while increasing the complexity of its arrangements and compositions. For its follow-up, Dots and Loops, the group scaled back its rhythmic experiments and concentrated on layered compositions. Heavily influenced by bossa nova and ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $10.76!
3	The Delta Sweete/Local Gentry (2006) more music like this by Bobbie Gentry Australia's Raven Records knows how to deliver the reissue goods to be sure. This packaging of Bobbie Gentry's second and third albums, Delta Sweete and Local Gentry may not have been as successful as their predecessor, Ode to Billie Joe, but how could they have been? If they didn't sell near as well, they certainly were more adventurous. Banking ... see all copies from $19.79! new only from $19.79!
4	An American Quilt: 1967-1974 (2002) more music like this by Bobbie Gentry Released two years after EMI/Zonophone's The Capitol Years: Ode to Bobbie Gentry, Raven's 26-track, single-disc collection An American Quilt: 1967-1974, intentionally or not, serves as a counterpoint to that pop-oriented compilation. Where that collection left off many charting hits, it did have an MOR, mainstream pop bent, particularly through ... see all copies from $19.18! new only from $19.18!
5 $Refractions$	Refractions (2003) more music like this by Kim Richmond Concert Jazz Orchestra Los Angeles saxophonist Kim Richmond's album Refractions involves a full orchestra of players and that was done for the orchestral effect rather than the big band idiom you would usually expect. Richmond likes to blend concepts from the classical realm with those from the jazz realm, and full classical orchestration is one part of that. The main ... see all copies from $13.33! new only from $13.33!
6	Ultimate Jimmy Smith (1999) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Verve's Ultimate Jimmy Smith may not live up to its billing -- after all, many of Smith's classic recordings were for Blue Note -- but the budget-priced collection is nevertheless a terrific introductory sampler. Grover Washington, Jr., a kindred spirit in the quest for groove, selected the 12 songs on the compilation, and he did an excellent job ... see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!
7	The Delta Sweete (1968) more music like this by Bobbie Gentry Delta Sweete was Bobbie Gentry's 1968 follow-up to her hugely popular Ode to Billie Joe record -- the title track topped the pop charts and made the country Top 20. Although it doesn't quite match the quality of Ode, Delta Sweete does contain a good selection of Gentry originals and some fine covers. The "Sweete" in the title refers to both Gentry ... see all copies from $13.83!
8	Walk on the Wild Side: The Best of the Verve Years (1962) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Smith recorded most of his most popular sides for Verve, and this double CD contains 25 tracks taken from his recordings for the label between 1962 and 1973, in both small-combo and big-band settings. There are a few Jimmy Smith compilations out there, and this isn't necessarily the best; anthologies that focus on his early and mid-'60s prime ... see all copies from $20.94! new only from $20.94!
9	Jazz Greats [Columbia River] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.93! new only from $16.93!
10	Answers (2005) more music like this by Ascension Theory see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
11 view cover	North Light (2003) more music like this by Steven Kirby This diverse set features New England-based guitarist Steven Kirby with four different but overlapping groups, playing everything from raging post bop and soul jazz organ jams to complex originals and a sweet solo guitar version of "When You Wish Upon A Star." Whether sounding a little like Pat Metheny, getting rockish or playing without any ... see all copies from $11.03! new only from $11.03!
12 view cover	Advent Parallax (2008) more music like this by Averse Sefira Upon hearing Averse Sefira for the first time, many headbangers have been surprised to find out they are from Texas. That's because Averse Sefira's specialty is black metal, a form of extreme metal that -- like death metal -- has been dominated by Europe since the '90s and has been especially plentiful in the Scandinavian countries. There will no ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!
13 view cover	Chickasaw County Child: The Artistry of Bobbie Gentry (2004) more music like this by Bobbie Gentry The figure of Bobbie Gentry cuts a particularly enigmatic swath across the landscape of American popular music. She has written one of the bona fide archetypes in American folk-blues songs in "Ode to Billie Joe," an eerie, spooky tale whose secret -- who or what was thrown off the Tallahatchie Bridge -- has never been revealed by Gentry. This song ... see all copies from $16.59! new only from $16.59!
