1	Diz 'N Bird at Carnegie Hall (1947) more music like this by Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie Nine years after Benny Goodman's groundbreaking concert, bebop finally came to Carnegie Hall. Most notable on this 1997 CD (which contains music that has been reissued many times, often incoherently) is the meeting between altoist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Joined by the underrecorded piano of John Lewis, bassist Al McKibbon and ... see all copies from $3.72! new only from $10.79!
2	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Charlie Parker With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. Even though alto saxophonist Charlie Parker didn't record as much material as other legends in this series, it's ... see all copies from $7.94! new only from $7.94!
3	Live at the Kennedy Center (2006) more music like this by Mulgrew Miller A fine hard bop pianist who is especially effective on trio dates, Mulgrew Miller stretches out with his trio on this first of two CDs recorded at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. He kicks thing off with a driving take of the old chestnut "If I Should Lose You," building the intensity gradually to a feverish pitch, while he never runs short ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
4	The Complete Savoy and Dial Master Takes (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker Through the miracle of high-resolution digital transfer and mastering technology, Bird enthusiasts can now get an earful of the shape of Charlie Parker's musical accomplishments for Savoy and Dial in the 1940s. Available as a three-disc box set, the alto saxophonist is recorded in various configurations as performer and bandleader with such ... see all copies from $36.59! new only from $36.59!
5	Sea Changes (1996) more music like this by Tommy Flanagan It's easy to understand why Tommy Flanagan has been one of the most praised pianists over the '80s and '90s while listening to an excellent trio date such as this CD. With bassist Peter Washington and drummer Lewis Nash, he features a number of songs with oceanic themes, including a tantalizing "How Deep Is the Ocean?," "I Cover the Waterfront," ... see all copies from $13.99! new only from $13.99!
6	Pure Madness (1999) more music like this by Richie Cole see all copies from $15.00! new only from $15.00!
7	The Genius of Charlie Parker [Savoy Box] (2005) more music like this by Charlie Parker This special edition of The Genius of Charlie Parker was released in commemoration of the alto saxophonist's stint with the Savoy and Dial labels in the '40s, some 60 years prior. The studio sessions were issued under Parker's name with the exceptions of the Tiny Grimes Quintette ("Tiny's Tempo," 1944), the Dizzy Gillespie All Star Quintet ("Shaw ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
8	Best of the Complete Savoy and Dial Studio Recordings (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker This compilation whittles Charlie Parker's output on the Savoy and Dial labels down to 20 essential tracks. The booklet is certainly impressive for a best-of item; producer Orrin Keepnews offers a complete sessionography, richly informative track-by-track annotation, and an introductory essay. Interestingly, he includes several originally unissued ... see all copies from $10.77! new only from $10.77!
9	Boss Bird (2002) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $48.49!
10	Bud Plays Bird (1957) more music like this by Bud Powell Previously unissued until 1996, this trio session by pianist Bud Powell with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor is better than his Verve recordings of the period if not quite up to the level of his earlier classic Blue Note dates. Actually it is a mystery how such excellent music could be unknown and go unreleased for so long. Powell ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $8.85!

14 view cover	Good Pickin's (1959) more music like this by Howard Roberts Issued in 1959, Howard Roberts' Good Pickin's was his second album for Verve as a leader. It is as straight-up a blowing date as you're likely to find, though it has wonderful harmonic invention thanks to the two arrangers on the date -- Bill Holman, who also plays tenor, and Marty Paich. The rest of the date is rounded out by pianist Pete Jolly, ... see all copies from $9.61! new only from $9.61!
15 view cover	Complete Dial Sessions (2004) more music like this by Charlie Parker Charlie Parker recorded for Dial during the same period he was cutting his better-known sides for Savoy. This four-CD set contains his 89 Dial recordings including all of the alternate takes. The innovative altoist is heard with Dizzy Gillespie on "Diggin' Diz" and playing definitive versions of "Moose the Mooche," "Yardbird Suite," and ... see all copies from $26.00!
16 view cover	Bird Up: The Originals (2003) more music like this by Charlie Parker Bird Up: The Originals, the companion disc to Bird Up: The Charlie Parker Remix Project, contains 11 remastered tracks recorded between 1945 and 1948. Even though the running time could be longer, this budget disc sounds great and is highly recommended to those unfamiliar with the brilliant bebop saxophonist and his equally apt cohorts, including ... see all copies from $6.16! new only from $9.29!
17 view cover	Trio (1993) more music like this by Geoff Keezer The music on this live CD is boppish but fresh, showcasing an exciting trio comprised of pianist Geoff Keezer, vibraphonist Steve Nelson, and bassist Neil Swainson. The drumless group swings lightly but with excitement on such numbers as "Relaxin' at Camarillo," "Eternal Triangle," and "Epistrophy," each of which is over 13 minutes long. In ... see all copies from $14.31! new only from $14.31!
18 view cover	Appassionato (1990) more music like this by Joe Pass Guitarist Joe Pass reunited with the same musicians he had used on his classic 1963 album For Django for this relaxed exploration of a dozen jazz standards: rhythm guitarist John Pisano, bassist Jim Hughart and drummer Colin Bailey. Alternating romps with ballads, Pass is in typically fine form throughout with "Relaxin' at Camarillo," "Red Door" ... see all copies from $13.40! new only from $13.40!
19	The Very Best of Bird (1990) more music like this by Charlie Parker Despite a confusing and misleading title, this is a good two-record set of Parker cuts, covering songs he is best known for. It's not comprehensive, but a good introduction. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00!
20 view cover	Departure 2 (1994) more music like this by Stanley Cowell Stanley Cowell was already a talented pianist at the time of his recording debut as a leader in 1969, but this 1990 trio session for Steeplechase demonstrates a seasoned artist whose chops had grown tremendously. His remakes of two compositions from his first release, "Departure #2" and "Photon in the Paperworld," seem light years ahead of the ... see all copies from $16.41! new only from $16.41!
21 view cover	The Best of the Bird, Vol. 2 (2000) more music like this by Charlie Parker For decades the words "best of" have been carelessly tossed around as a utility heading for any sort of grab bag collection, a practice that has rendered the phrase suspect and even meaningless. Legacy's second Best of the Bird album certainly contains enough good jazz to warrant copping a listen, even if these cannot justifiably be considered ... see all copies from $5.14! new only from $5.14!
22 view cover	Forever Gold (1999) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $4.11! new only from $4.11!
23 view cover	Guitar Virtuoso (1973) more music like this by Joe Pass As this lavishly boxed, four-CD distillation of his Pablo sessions proves, Joe Pass was probably the guitar-playing equivalent of Art Tatum on the Norman Granz roster -- not only for his vast output, but also for the all-encompassing, almost orchestral way in which he got around his instrument. The set is divided equally into four sections -- disc ... see all copies from $54.25! new only from $54.25!
24 view cover	Dedication (1992) more music like this by Bunny Brunel Bunny Brunel is best-known as a virtuosic electric bassist who is featured in high-quality fusion settings. This particular recording is quite a bit different for Brunel is heard exclusively on acoustic bass, performing advanced jazz standards including pieces by Wayne Shorter, Steve Swallow, and Herbie Hancock along with two of the bassist's ... see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
25 view cover	The Legendary Dial Masters, Vols. 1-2 (1996) more music like this by Charlie Parker There's no denying the weight of history on these tracks -- 14 out of 35 here are also on Rhino's two-CD Yardbird Suite: The Ultimate Collection. Several titles -- "Moose the Mooche," "Yardbird Suite," "Ornithology," "Relaxin' at Camarillo," "Klact-Oveeseds-Tene," "Scrapple from the Apple" -- have been written about so much they're part of the ... see all copies from $14.98!
