1	Milestones (1958) more music like this by Miles Davis What is immediately noticeable upon listening to this delicately and superbly remastered version of Miles Davis classic first -- and only -- album with his original sextet is how deep the blues presence is on it. Though it is true that the album's title cut is rightfully credited with introducing modalism into jazz, and defining Davis' music for ... see all copies from $5.40! new only from $5.99!
2	Camp Meeting (2007) more music like this by Bruce Hornsby see all copies from $10.12! new only from $17.39!
3	The Best of Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program was the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, which was augmented by no less than 22 ... see all copies from $2.82! new only from $2.82!
4	Straight, No Chaser (1966) more music like this by Thelonious Monk This is the sixth studio album cut by Thelonious Monk under the production/direction of Teo Macero for Columbia and as such should not be confused with the original motion picture soundtrack to the 1988 film of the same name. The original disc only included six performances, half of which were edited due to the stringent time constraints of vinyl. ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
5	My Foolish Heart: Live at Montreux (2007) more music like this by Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette My Foolish Heart is an anniversary release celebrating 25 years of the Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette trio's traveling and performing together despite the rich and varied individual careers of its members. Recorded in 2001 at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Jarrett held the tape close to the vest until what he felt was the right time ... see all copies from $22.76! new only from $24.40!
6	The Quintessence (1961) more music like this by Quincy Jones & His Orchestra The Quintessence is perhaps the most accurate title ever given to a Quincy Jones & His Orchestra recording. Issued in 1961 for Impulse!, this is the sound of the modern, progressive big band at its pinnacle. Recorded in three sessions, the core of the band consists of Melba Liston, Phil Woods, Julius Watkins, and bassist Milt Hinton and pianist ... see all copies from $4.03! new only from $7.44!
7	Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Burning for Buddy: A Tribute to the Music of Buddy Rich, Vol. 1 assembles a shifting cast of virtuoso trap-set players sitting in with the Buddy Rich and His Big Band in order to pay tribute to its legendary founder. Some of the musicians come from rock & roll, often with experience in prog rock or rock/jazz fusion (i.e., the Cult/Guns N' Roses' ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $9.55!
8	Standards (and Other Songs) (1992) more music like this by Mike Stern Guitarist Mike Stern, best-known for playing rock-oriented fusion and in more commercial settings, surprised many listeners by recording an album dominated by standards. Actually, there are three originals included among the 11 pieces, but Stern also digs into such songs as "Like Someone in Love," "Moment's Notice," Chick Corea's "Windows," and ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
9	The Complete Blue Note Recordings (1947) more music like this by Thelonious Monk This magnificent limited-edition set launched the Mosaic label in real style. Included are all of Thelonious Monk's Blue Note recordings, six sessions as a leader from 1947-52 complete with alternate takes plus two titles cut with tenor-saxophonist Sonny Rollins in 1957. Since these were Monk's first opportunities to lead his own recording dates, ... see all copies from $30.00! new only from $49.45!
10	Memories of T (2006) more music like this by Ben Riley see all copies from $4.68! new only from $17.62!
11 view cover	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Thelonious Monk In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ... see all copies from $5.49! new only from $6.14!
12 view cover	Live at the 1964 Monterey Jazz Festival (2007) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Thelonious Monk played at the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1963 and created a buzz so strong he was invited back the following year. His one-hour set from 1964 is available here, featuring his quartet through the first forty minutes. Tenor saxophonist Charlie Rouse and drummer Ben Riley are joined by Steve Swallow on upright acoustic bass loaned from ... see all copies from $10.63! new only from $13.71!
13 view cover	The Complete Columbia Recordings: Miles Davis & John Coltrane [2004 Reissue] (1955) more music like this by Miles Davis/John Coltrane As the fourth (fifth, if you count the Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel) entry in Columbia's celebrated series of Miles Davis box sets, The Complete Columbia Recordings: Miles Davis & John Coltrane was perhaps the most anticipated set, and it's easy to see why. The push and pull between Miles and Coltrane resulted in dynamic recordings that set ... see all copies from $49.50! new only from $58.48!
14 view cover	Jazz: The Definitive Performances (1999) more music like this by Various Artists To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, ... see all copies from $10.50! new only from $22.14!
15 view cover	The Best of the Blue Note Years (1947) more music like this by Thelonious Monk For listeners unsure about diving into Monk's entire Blue Note catalog, this best-of roundup makes for a very fine alternative. Covering his bebop-era work from the late '40s and early '50s, the 16-track collection finds Monk in his early prime with such up-and-coming jazz standards as "Ruby, My Dear," "In Walked Bud," "'Round Midnight," and ... see all copies from $14.56! new only from $14.56!
16 view cover	Wood (2002) more music like this by Brian Bromberg Wood is Brian Bromberg's debut for the A440 Music Group, and it is a very strong example of his extraordinary straight-ahead jazz skills as presented in three exciting formats. In addition to the six tracks he performs in a trio setting with drummer David Bromberg and pianist Randy Waldman, Brian Bromberg duets with Waldman on the inimitable "Days ... see all copies from $15.28! new only from $15.28!
17 view cover	5 by Monk by 5 [Riverside/OJC] (1959) more music like this by Thelonious Monk As the '50s drew to a close, so did Thelonious Monk's illustrious tenure on Riverside Records. In fact, the three dates needed for this title would be his penultimate for the label. The concept of the album consists of five Monk originals performed in a quintet setting. Ironically, this was the first time that Monk had recorded with a lineup that ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
18 view cover	The Essential Thelonious Monk [2003] (2003) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Calling an album "The Essential Thelonious Monk" is a bit misleading, especially since all the material comes from one label: Columbia. Nonetheless, this may arguably be the essential Thelonious Monk material on the label. There are 11 selections here, all recorded between 1962-1968, the period of Monk's tenure with the label. Produced for ... see all copies from $9.86! new only from $11.06!
19 view cover	Miles Davis at Newport 1958 (1958) more music like this by Miles Davis see all copies from $4.39! new only from $13.52!
20 view cover	Yes We Didn't (2004) by Thelonious Moog This is one of the silliest Thelonious Monk tribute albums ever recorded. Some listeners may find it hilarious, while others will probably be annoyed. Joe "Guido" Welsh and Steve Million create outlandish sounds on their synthesizers while playing 15 Monk songs. While the melodies are stated and kept close by throughout, the unusual sounds ... see all copies from $10.22! new only from $10.22!
21 view cover	Genius of Modern Music, Vol. 2 [2001 Bonus Tracks] (1951) more music like this by Thelonious Monk On the second volume in this two-disc series Thelonious Monk has come fully into his own as a leader. The program consists almost entirely of original compositions, and in fact it opens with two of his most difficult: "Four in One" (with its conventional bop intro that leads into a bizarre, repeated five-against-two quintuplet sequence) and the ... see all copies from $7.74! new only from $7.74!
22 view cover	Live at the It Club (1964) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Thelonious Monk was frequently recorded in live settings during his tenure with Columbia, though the original two-LP set wasn't released until 1982, and then only in edited form. Fortunately, the 1998 two-CD reissue restored the tracks to their original lengths, as well as adding three previously unreleased performances. This pair of 1964 dates at ... see all copies from $15.75! new only from $15.75!
23 view cover	Round Midnight and Other Jazz Classics (1992) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Round Midnight and Other Jazz Classics is a budget-priced, ten-track selection of some of Thelonious Monk's best-known recordings for Blue Note, and while there are plenty of essential items missing, it still functions as a good, affordable sampler featuring such standards as "Round Midnight," "Misterioso," "In Walked Bud," "Well You Needn't," ... see all copies from $3.00! new only from $5.25!
24 view cover	It's the Real Soul (1995) more music like this by Gene Harris & Frank Wess Gene Harris was a very consistent pianist, always infusing the standards and ballads that he interpreted with soul and the blues feeling. On this live set (recorded in Pittsburgh), Harris and his regular quartet of the period (with guitarist Ron Eschete, bassist Luther Hughes, and drummer Paul Humphrey) perform typically soulful versions of ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
25 view cover	Monk in Italy (1961) more music like this by Thelonious Monk Pianist/composer Thelonious Monk's final Riverside recording before signing with Columbia (reissued on CD under the OJC imprint) was cut during a concert in Italy, part of an extensive European tour that also resulted in recordings from Paris three days earlier. All eight of the songs (which include "Straight, No Chaser," "Bemsha Swing," and ... see all copies from $5.05! new only from $10.44!
