The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings

The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings (1959) more music like this

by John Coltrane

The Heavyweight Champion is a box set that lives up to its title. Collecting all of John Coltrane's Atlantic recordings, including a fair number of unreleased takes as well as an entire disc of alternate tracks and studio chatter, the seven-disc box set documents a pivotal moment in Coltrane's career, as he was moving from hard bop and sweet ...

West Coast Jazz

West Coast Jazz (1955) more music like this

by Stan Getz

In 1955 the difference between East/West Coast jazz was a hot topic, with critics and fans capable of taking zealous musical alliances with one or the other. The title of this disc, West Coast Jazz, was conceived as a joke, considering all musicians involved were originally from the East Coast and did not play exclusively in the laid-back, ...

The Essential George Benson

The Essential George Benson (2006) more music like this

by George Benson

The Essential George Benson covers 28 years and spans two discs, so it lives up to its claim of having the widest scope of all the Benson compilations that surfaced before it. While it's impressive that Columbia/Legacy didn't merely mine Columbia and CTI dates, and licensed material from Warner Bros. and Prestige as well (the brief Verve period is ...

Billie Holiday: The Legacy Box 1933-1958

Billie Holiday: The Legacy Box 1933-1958 (1933) more music like this

by Billie Holiday

The logic behind this sampler is puzzling. Rather than reissue the very best of Billie Holiday's Columbia recordings on a three-CD box set or a package of her rare alternate takes, CBS tries it both ways by including 60 common selections already available in the Quintessential series along with 10 rarities that were either unissued or alternates. ...

Bird: The Complete Charlie Parker on Verve

Bird: The Complete Charlie Parker on Verve (1990) more music like this

by Charlie Parker

As a leader, Charlie Parker recorded for Savoy and Dial during 1945-1948 and then for Verve exclusively (at least in the studios) during 1949-1954. This remarkable ten-CD box set, which adds quite a bit of material to an earlier ten-LP set, contains all of these recordings plus Bird's earlier appearances with Jazz at the Philharmonic. The JATP ...

It's Uptown [Expanded]

It's Uptown [Expanded] (2001) more music like this

by George Benson

It's Uptown remains a germinal jazz guitar album. Columbia/Legacy reissued the 1966 classic in 2001, with five bonus tracks appended to the original 11-track program. Benson's guitar playing is drenched in bebop, but also strongly influenced by R&B and soul music, as is his quartet's sound overall. And the three vocal cuts -- "Summertime," "A ...

The Blue Angel Years 1945-1947

The Blue Angel Years 1945-1947 (2000) more music like this

by Mildred Bailey

In 1944, Mildred Bailey was getting back on track after a disastrous recording ban that held up her career as well as those of other jazz and popular music performers. Then things started going her way. Bailey was offered a radio show by CBS and, when Max Gordon opened his new Blue Angel jazz club, Bailey signed on with a trio headed by young ...

Sinatra Sings Gershwin

Sinatra Sings Gershwin (2003) more music like this

by Frank Sinatra

Columbia/Legacy's Sinatra Sings Gershwin collects 17 previously unreleased and ultra-rare recordings and radio performances from early in Sinatra's career. Longtime fans of both Gershwin and Sinatra will want to snatch this remastered bit of archival candy up right away, while others may want to stick to more familiar releases. James Christopher ...

Mosaic Select: Art Pepper (2005) more music like this

by Art Pepper

The three CDs in Art Pepper's Mosaic Select volume -- limited to 5000 sets -- contain the three albums he did for Pacific Jazz -- The Return of Art Pepper (titled as such as after a stay in a Texas Federal Prison), Modern Art, and The Art of Pepper -- complete with alternate takes not available on the original CD issues, and two sessions headed by ...

Brownie: The Complete EmArcy Recordings of Clifford Brown (1954) more music like this

by Clifford Brown

Although undoubtedly an expensive acquisition, this ten-CD set is perfectly done and contains dozens of gems. The remarkable but short-lived trumpeter Clifford Brown has the second half of his career fully documented (other than his final performance) and he is showcased in a wide variety of settings. The bulk of the numbers are of Brownie's ...

George and Ira Gershwin in Hollywood [Rhino] (1997) more music like this

by Various Artists

Although George and Ira Gershwin were already well established as Broadway's hottest and finest writing team, they had to wait until the movies started talking to come westward to work their magic in films. This two-disc, 40-track deluxe anthology is largely produced through the auspices of Turner Classic Movies, which now owns the enormous MGM ...

The Great Blue Star Sessions 1952-1953 (2004) more music like this

by Dizzy Gillespie

This double-disc set containing the complete Blue Star sessions by Dizzy Gillespie is so named for the small imprint they were available on, which is now owned by Universal. All but five of these cuts appeared first as 78s featuring the great trumpeter and personality in front of a combined French jazz and opera orchestra arranged and conducted ...

Jazz in Paris: Cognac Blues (2002) more music like this

by Dizzy Gillespie

Part of Verve's Jazz in Paris series, Jazz in Paris: Cognac Blues features various tracks recorded by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie during the '50s in France. All of the material included in the series is stellar and makes for excellent listening. The tracks are not necessarily rare, but are often ignored in favor of the more popular late-'40s ...
