1	Paris Blues (1987) more music like this by Gil Evans and Steve Lacy Recorded just three months before arranger/pianist Gil Evans's death, this duet album teams Evans with the great soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy. In truth, Evans's playing here is generally little more than melody statements and comping behind Lacy and, although the soprano is in top form, little of significance occurs. The duo performs lengthy ... see all copies from $10.52! new only from $10.52!
2	The Clown [Deluxe Edition] (1957) more music like this by Charles Mingus The Clown was Charles Mingus' second masterpiece in a row, upping the already intense emotional commitment of Pithecanthropus Erectus and burning with righteous anger and frustration. With Pithecanthropus, Mingus displayed a gift for airtight, focused arrangements that nonetheless allowed his players great freedom to add to the established mood of ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $7.94!
3	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!
4	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!

6	The Very Best of Charles Mingus (The Atlantic Years) (2001) more music like this by Charles Mingus The task of choosing the best work of Charles Mingus would be a daunting one. There's literally so much good material in a number of different settings, that the "best" of Charles Mingus could never be contained on one CD. Then again, it is extremely difficult for a newcomer to approach Mingus' multiple recordings and know where to begin. Rhino ... see all copies from $10.21! new only from $10.21!
7	Essential Guide to...Jazz (2007) more music like this by Various Artists The Essential Guide to...Jazz takes on quite a challenge with that title -- and loses: can a three-disc set truly capture the essence of jazz? Well, no, and presumably the compilers of this U.K. set knew that going in. But calling this an essential anything while devoting the entire second disc to smooth jazz, starting off with the execrable faux ... see all copies from $10.07! new only from $10.07!
8	Gunslinging Bird (1995) more music like this by Mingus Big Band The Mingus Big Band had been together four years when they recorded this set while on a European tour. The musicians had mastered the great bassist's music, resulting in versions of a variety of Mingus classics that rank with the originals. The largely all-star 15-piece band includes such names as trumpeters Randy Brecker, Phillip Harper and Ryan ... see all copies from $14.24! new only from $14.24!
9	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!
10	Ulterior Motif (1998) more music like this by Mat Marucci Mat Marucci is a veteran percussionist deserving of wider recognition. Utilizing a strong quartet with either Doug Webb or John Tchicai, who both double on soprano and tenor saxes, Marucci keeps things interesting with his crisp brushwork and a wide variety of material. Highlights include his original pulsating, post-bop title track and a haunting ... see all copies from $20.70! new only from $20.70!
11 view cover	The Very Best of Charles Mingus [Rhino] (2008) more music like this by Charles Mingus This 11-cut greatest-hits collection of the recordings of Charles Mingus is simply comprised of what are considered to be his best-known titles recorded for the Atlantic label between 1956 and 1959. The title tune from Pithecanthropus Erectus kicks off the set in grand style with fine solos by Jackie McLean on alto and J.R. Monterose on tenor. It ... see all copies from $11.16! new only from $11.16!

This production stands aside Braxton's impressive body of work for two reasons: first, he sits at the piano; second, the quartet plays jazz standards instead of his own ... see all copies from $28.73! new only from $28.73!

15	The Art of Charles Mingus (1956) more music like this by Charles Mingus This two-LP set gives listeners a fine overview of Charles Mingus's classic Atlantic recordings.

Better to get the complete ... see all copies from $13.00!
