1	The Essential Taj Mahal (2005) more music like this by Taj Mahal The Essential Taj Mahal pulls together the bluesman's Columbia, Warner, Gramavision Private Music, and Hannibal labels' recordings, making it the first truly cross-licensed compilation of his work. Given the depth and breadth of this set (it covers four decades), the listener gets not only a cross-sectional view of the artist, but also his ... see all copies from $19.53! new only from $19.53!
2	In the Night (1958) more music like this by George Shearing With its progressive-leaning jazz and modernist blues vocals, In the Night was the prototype for the piano-vocals collaboration record that George Shearing would remake with Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, and Nancy Wilson while at Capitol (and many others afterwards). In July 1957, just after Dakota Staton's immense success with "The Late, Late Show," ... see all copies from $9.97! new only from $10.55!
3	Senor Blues (1997) more music like this by Taj Mahal Señor Blues is one of Taj Mahal's best latter-day albums, a rollicking journey through classic blues styles performed with contemporary energy and flair. There's everything from country-blues to jazzy uptown blues on Señor Blues, and Taj hits all of areas in between, including R&B and soul. Stylistically, it's similar to most of his albums, but he ... see all copies from $9.16! new only from $9.16!
4	Closer (2005) more music like this by David Sanborn Saxophonist and composer David Sanborn has always been a maverick. A top-notch technician, he has always imbued his playing with deep emotion -- indeed, that emotional element in his playing has been his signature since he began leading his own bands on record in the 1970s. He has wed modern jazz sophistication to the smooth jazz groove for many ... see all copies from $4.69! new only from $16.10!
5	6 Pieces of Silver (1956) more music like this by Horace Silver Quintet The first classic album by the Horace Silver Quintet, this CD is highlighted by "Señor Blues" (heard in three versions, including a later vocal rendition by Bill Henderson) and "Cool Eyes." The early Silver quintet was essentially the Jazz Messengers of the year before (with trumpeter Donald Byrd, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley, and bassist Doug ... see all copies from $7.86! new only from $10.34!
6	The Very Best (2005) more music like this by Horace Silver As part of Blue Note's Very Best series, pianist Horace Silver is spotlighted on eight tracks recorded between 1954 and 1966. This set includes the Silver-penned classics "The Preacher," "Song for My Father," "Doodlin'," and "The Jody Grind." Silver's backing bands include fellow Blue Note alumni Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, Blue Mitchell, Joe ... see all copies from $4.91! new only from $10.55!
7	Ritmo de la Noche/Rhythm of the Night: The Very Best of Latin Jazz (2002) more music like this by Various Artists "The Very Best of Latin Jazz" is a concept that could fill a box set, even if you limited it to just the Columbia vaults, as this single-disc anthology does. This survey -- maybe it's not meant to be all-encompassing, but they bring that onus upon themselves by using the title "The Very Best of Latin Jazz" -- has shortcomings for those looking for ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $5.25!
8	In Progress & in Motion: 1965-1998 (1998) more music like this by Taj Mahal For being a nearly omnipresent figure, Taj Mahal has never quite gotten the respect he's deserved. At the beginning of his career, he earned a significant amount of attention, but as the years passed, he had woven himself into the fabric of blues culture so well that his presence was taken for granted. That is why the 1998 release of In Progress & ... see all copies from $34.29! new only from $34.29!
9	Blues Spoken Here (1998) more music like this by Dave Specter & Lenny Lynn see all copies from $10.02! new only from $10.02!
10	Bernard Purdie's Soul to Jazz (1996) more music like this by Bernard "Pretty" Purdie see all copies from $4.63!
11 view cover	The Definitive George Shearing (2002) more music like this by George Shearing British-born pianist George Shearing's work for the MGM and Capitol record labels from the late '40s to the early '60s is collected on this 21-track compilation. Beginning with four tracks recorded for MGM in 1949 with his unique quintet of guitar, bass, drums, and vibraphone (which would double the melody he was playing with his right hand), ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $9.73!
12 view cover	Genius + Soul = Jazz/My Kind of Jazz (1997) more music like this by Ray Charles Single-disc CD reissue combines two of Charles' more jazz-oriented outings, though Genius + Soul (from 1961) enjoys a much more sterling reputation than the comparatively obscure My Kind of Jazz (1970). Question: if genius plus soul equals jazz, does that mean genius minus soul equals fusion? Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide see all copies from $11.98! new only from $11.98!
13 view cover	Greatest Hits (1996) more music like this by Horace Silver Greatest Hits is a budget-priced, seven-track selection of some of Horace Silver's best-known songs and crossover hits, and while there are plenty of essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler, featuring such familiar cuts as "Senor Blues," "Song for My Father," "The Preacher," "The Cape Verdean Blues" and "The Jody ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $2.98!
14 view cover	Papa Gato (1986) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Percussionist Poncho Sanchez has long led one of the top Latin jazz groups, succeeding his former boss, the late Cal Tjader. On this enjoyable release, Sanchez features plenty of solos from Justo Almario (on alto, tenor, and flute), trumpeter Sal Cracchiolo, and trombonist Art Velasco, and the three percussionists have many opportunities to romp. ... see all copies from $5.24! new only from $8.35!
15 view cover	Blues with a Feeling: The Very Best of Taj Mahal (2003) more music like this by Taj Mahal Throughout his career, Taj Mahal has always been considered a bluesman, which is true enough, since the basis for everything he does has been the country blues, but he is not a traditionalist at heart, and he has always looked for ways to push the blues into new places and shapes. Adding at times rhythms and sensibilities that are drawn from ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.06!
16 view cover	The Legend of Cuban Percussion (2000) more music like this by Patato Carlos "Patato" Valdes is truly a legend of Afro-Cuban music and a master conga player. This CD, one of few for the 70-something percussionist as a leader or co-leader, bubbles or boils under a layer of flute, saxes, vocals, and piano. Fellow master percussionists Orestes Vilato and Changuito help buoy Patato's more delicate shadings, while ... see all copies from $9.98! new only from $14.49!
17 view cover	Fly Rite (1998) more music like this by Giacomo Gates Male jazz singers seemed like a endangered species in the 1980s and 1990s; for every noteworthy male jazz singer who came along, there seemed to be 50 to 100 women who were taking up jazz singing. The very fact that Giacomo Gates was a jazz-singing male in the 1990s made you want to at least check him out and satisfy your curiosity, and thankfully ... see all copies from $11.97! new only from $13.64!
18 view cover	Blue Note Trip: Jazzanova (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $21.76! new only from $21.76!
19 view cover	Retrospective (1999) more music like this by Horace Silver Career-spanning retrospectives are always difficult to pull off in jazz, since the music is often about the moment. An artist can peak for a few years, and that's what's worth hearing -- the rest is interesting, but not quite as compelling, as a lengthy four-disc box set can prove. That certainly isn't the case with the four-disc Horace Silver ... see all copies from $50.23! new only from $50.23!
20 view cover	Queen of the Organ: Memorial Album (2003) more music like this by Shirley Scott Shirley Scott was indeed the Queen of the Organ and this 14-track collection of her work for Prestige, Bluesville, and Moodsville gives ample proof of that fact. The collection covers the years 1958 to 1964 and features her recordings as a leader and as a sideman. Her light and swinging tone at the B-3 made her a perfect foil for the great tenor ... see all copies from $9.50! new only from $9.50!
21 view cover	Heart Beat (2006) more music like this by Robert Jospé see all copies from $9.74! new only from $9.74!
22 view cover	All Blues (1999) more music like this by Dick Griffin see all copies from $9.74! new only from $9.74!
23 view cover	Cum Laude (2004) more music like this by Dr. Macaroni Brass Band Some folks are real purists when it comes to the term "brass band." They insist that a group isn't really a brass band unless it adheres to an all-horns-all-the-time policy -- that if a group combines a bunch of horn players with any part of a traditional rhythm section (piano, bass and drums), it isn't really a brass band. Well, the Dr. Macaroni ... see all copies from $5.58! new only from $10.33!
24 view cover	All Blues (1994) more music like this by GRP All-Star Big Band see all copies from $4.99! new only from $41.73!
25 view cover	High Standards (1997) more music like this by Ron Kaplan Ron Kaplan has a pleasing voice, the ability to swing and his fairly basic improvising is sometimes reminiscent of Ernie Andrews and (from the female side) Ernestine Anderson, a slightly R&B-ish approach that can be soulful. The singer is assisted on this CD by pianist Smith Dobson, bassist Stan Poplin, drummer Steve Robertson, the impressive ... see all copies from $2.31! new only from $2.31!
