1	Song for My Father (1964) more music like this by Horace Silver One of Blue Note's greatest mainstream hard bop dates, Song for My Father is Horace Silver's signature LP and the peak of a discography already studded with classics. Silver was always a master at balancing jumping rhythms with complex harmonies for a unique blend of earthiness and sophistication, and Song for My Father has perhaps the most ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.62!
2	The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever (1999) more music like this by Various Artists The Best Blue Note Album in the World Ever may boast a silly title, but it's hard to argue with what's on this double-disc sampler. Not all of the label's greatest artists are here, but everything is representative, showing how hard bop like John Coltrane's "Blue Train" and Lee Morgan's "The Sidewinder" coexisted with soul-jazz from Grant Green ( ... see all copies from $17.65! new only from $17.65!
3	Keeping Our Love Warm (1980) more music like this by Captain & Tennille Of the nine songs recorded on the final album from the Captain & Tennille's heyday, their second and final disc for Casablanca titled Keeping Our Love Warm, five are written by songstress Toni Tennille while the other four are covers. With the duo's first release of the 1980s, they dip into a jazz/blues bag with their pop leanings still the major ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $4.95!
4	Shades of Blue (2003) more music like this by Madlib Madlib received a rare opportunity with unfettered access to the storied Blue Note archives and permission to use them as he wished for a remix/interpretation album released on Blue Note itself. The result, Shades of Blue, is really more of a Yesterdays New Quintet album, but Madlib's name is far more recognizable then his alter ego and faux ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $10.20!
5	Thru My Eyes (1996) more music like this by Michel Camilo see all copies from $9.47! new only from $10.29!
6	Shake It Up (2000) more music like this by Boney James & Rick Braun From Bob James & David Sanborn's Grammy-winning Double Vision to George Benson & Earl Klugh's Collaboration, Warner Brothers has released some of the greatest dual projects in smooth jazz. Rick Braun's signing to the label this year has paved the way for the label's best tandem project yet, pairing the trumpet star's jazzy sensibilities with the ... see all copies from $4.00! new only from $12.91!
7	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 $10.79! new only from $10.79!
8	Soul Message (1965) more music like this by Richard "Groove" Holmes Organist Richard "Groove" Holmes hit upon a successful formula on this Prestige session (reissued on CD in the OJC series), mixing together boogaloo rhythms with emotional solos. His double-time version of "Misty" became a big hit, and the other selections, including Horace Silver's "Song for My Father" and a pair of soulful originals, are in a ... see all copies from $4.84! new only from $4.84!
9	The Conversation (2002) more music like this by Heavyshift William South and John Wallace, aka Heavyshift, began working together 12 years ago. Their debut album, Unchain Your Mind, featured the hit single "90 Degrees in the Shade" and went to the Top Five on the NAC and Billboard jazz charts and was also named "Album of the Year" by Jazz FM. The Conversation is a return to the template that was set down ... see all copies from $10.64! new only from $10.64!
10	Wack Wack (1966) more music like this by Young Holt Trio Like an amoeba, the Ramsey Lewis Trio split into two virtually identical units in 1966, with bassist Eldee Young and drummer Isaac "Red" Holt forming their own soul-jazz piano trio. Then known as the Young Holt Trio, this may have been the only major trio to feature the bassist and drummer, but not the pianist (!), in the group's name, probably to ... see all copies from $9.56! new only from $9.56!
11 view cover	Ram Di Dance (1998) more music like this by Dr. Ring-Ding & the Senior Allstars It could perhaps be construed as a slap in the face to the British and American ska scenes that one of the finest traditional ska bands in the world right now is from Germany. What makes Dr. Ring-Ding's group such a world-beater? First of all, great songs: "My Sound" and "Bad Company" are among the catchiest and most well-crafted ska tunes written ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $6.98!
12 view cover	Best Blue Note Album in the World (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Best Blue Note Album in the World, Vol. 2 collects nine tracks from one of the most influential independent jazz labels of the 20th century. Boasting legendary performances by Horace Silver, John Coltrane, Lee Morgan, Herbie Hancock, Kenny Burrell, Jimmy Smith, Lou Donaldson, Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers, and Cannonball Adderley with Miles ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $14.78!
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 $5.48! new only from $5.48!
14 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 $56.49! new only from $56.49!
15 view cover	Blue Note Sessions (2006) more music like this by Nigel Kennedy Nigel Kennedy made quite a reputation for himself as a classical violin virtuoso, though he long expressed an interest in jazz prior to the making of this CD. A number of jazz veterans, including bassist Ron Carter, drummer Jack DeJohnette, pianist Kenny Werner and tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano (along with several others) are present and provide a ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
16 view cover	Talkin' Verve (1997) more music like this by George Benson As guitarist George Benson morphed from playing with chitlin circuit organ combos to becoming a pop vocalist, these sessions in 1968 formed a transition, and were a prelude to his works for the CTI label. There are five tracks each from the recordings Giblet Gravy and Goodies, featuring horn sections, takes on Top 40 hits, the funky go-go ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
17 view cover	Hip Cake Walk (2001) more music like this by Papa John DeFrancesco Papa John DeFrancesco, the father of organist/trumpeter Joey DeFrancesco and guitarist John DeFrancesco II, is an excellent organist in the style of Jimmy Smith. He did not begin to emerge on records until the 1990s, but has made up for lost time through his High Note recordings. This particular set has plenty of blues (including Lalo Schifrin's ... see all copies from $15.49! new only from $15.49!
18 view cover	Deep Purple (2000) more music like this by Holly Shelton see all copies from $10.70! new only from $10.70!
19 view cover	Jazz for the Two of You (2001) more music like this by Various Artists A fine set of laid-back jazz perfect for those quiet and intimate moments when it's time to make the move and take your night to the next level. Nothing here is cerebrally intrusive, and nothing warrants much gasping analysis -- quite frankly, it's a simple, straightforward collection of jazz that will probably bore the real jazz fans to death. ... see all copies from $7.71! new only from $7.71!
20 view cover	Out of the Blue (1998) more music like this by Cindy Horstman see all copies from $2.62! new only from $5.33!
21 view cover	Shades of Blue (1994) more music like this by Bob Belden In 1994 producer-tenor saxophonist Bob Belden received the unusual assignment of putting together a variety of all-star groups to revisit tunes associated with the Blue Note legacy. From Nov. 1994 to Mar. 1995 he recorded most of Blue Note's current roster, documenting 39 compositions in all. 12 are on this CD while many of the others have been ... see all copies from $3.34!
22 view cover	Love and Peace: A Tribute to Horace Silver (1995) more music like this by Dee Dee Bridgewater Dee Dee Bridgewater performs 13 of Horace Silver's songs on her very well-conceived release. On most selections she is accompanied by her French quintet, but there are also two guest appearances apiece for organist Jimmy Smith and pianist Silver ("Nice's Dream" and "Song for My Father"). Bridgewater uplifts Silver's lyrics, proves to be in prime ... see all copies from $10.18!
23 view cover	Destiny (2004) more music like this by Ricardo Scales see all copies from $12.00! new only from $13.64!
24 view cover	Fin de Fiesta: Blue Note by Bobby Flores (2005) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $16.31! new only from $16.31!
25 view cover	Hot Off the Grill (2004) more music like this by Various Artists Hot Off the Grill features a dozen rock and soul instrumentals as performed by keyboardist Richard Evans. While Evans' renditions of "The 'In' Crowd," "Watermelon Man," and "Back to the Chicken Shack" aren't quite as attention-getting as the originals, he does bring enough grit and fun to them to make them enjoyable background music. Likewise, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $19.60!
