1	Tenor Madness (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Quartet At a time when he was a member of the legendary Clifford Brown/Max Roach sextet, Sonny Rollins was still the apple fallen not too far from the tree of Miles Davis. Tenor Madness was the recording that, once and for all, established Newk as one of the premier tenor saxophonists, an accolade that in retrospect, has continued through six full decades ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
2	The Complete Prestige Recordings (1949) more music like this by Sonny Rollins This seven-CD box set lives up to its title, reissuing in chronological order all of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' recordings for Prestige. Dating mostly from 1951-1956, these valuable performances find Rollins developing from a promising player to a potential giant; many of his best recordings would take place a year or two after this program ... see all copies from $81.62! new only from $81.62!
3	Verve Jazz Masters 59 (1953) more music like this by Toots Thielemans The remarkable jazz harmonica player Toots Thielemans has essentially had no competition ever since he decided to fully focus on that instrument, rather than the guitar, in the early 1950s. This sampler CD, Verve Jazz Masters 59 is, fortunately, programmed in chronological order, contains some rather rare tracks, and covers a wide period of time ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
4	Tenor Madness [2006] (2006) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Quartet At a time when he was a member of the legendary Clifford Brown/Max Roach sextet, Sonny Rollins was still the apple fallen not too far from the tree of Miles Davis. Tenor Madness was the recording that, once and for all, established Newk as one of the premier tenor saxophonists, an accolade that in retrospect, has continued through six full decades ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
5	Swiss Nights, Vol. 1 (1975) more music like this by Dexter Gordon Quartet The first of three volumes taken from the 1975 Zurich Jazz Festival features tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon (with his reliable sidemen pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Alex Riel) stretching out on "Tenor Madness," "Wave," "You've Changed" and "Days of Wine and Roses." All of the performances are at least ten minutes long and ... see all copies from $17.03! new only from $17.03!
6	Nothing Smooth About It (2004) more music like this by The Mike Frost Project Nothing Smooth About It is the debut recording of the Mike Frost Project for the Blujazz record label. While they can hardly be considered a "cover band," this label debut is a straight-ahead post-bop Hammond B-3 organ date that finds the Chicago-based group out to honor the traditions of jazz and its pioneers. The set opens with "Oleo," a classic ... see all copies from $3.87! new only from $16.09!
7	G-Man (1986) more music like this by Sonny Rollins The soundtrack to the performance film Saxophone Colossus features long Sonny Rollins tenor solos on "G-Man" and "Don't Stop the Carnival" and a briefer one during "Kim." Joined by his usual quintet of the era (trombonist Clifton Anderson, pianist Mark Soskin, electric bassist Bob Cranshaw and drummer Marvin "Smitty" Smith), Rollins is in good ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
8	Sax Symbol (2007) more music like this by Sonny Rollins see all copies from $22.42! new only from $30.58!
9	Prestige Profiles, Vol. 3 (2005) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Prestige Profiles, Vol. 3 highlights recordings made in the 1950s by tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins for the legendary jazz label. Although the majority of these ten tracks are standards, including "More Than You Know," "On a Slow Boat to China," and "It's All Right with Me," they emphasize Rollins' ability to make every performance his own, no ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
10	Fresh from Cooler (2006) more music like this by Frank Hewitt The music within this CD -- the fourth posthumous release featuring pianist Frank Hewitt -- was actually part of Hewitt's very first session, a trio date recorded at Smalls without an audience. A solid bop stylist, he begins with a tantalizing, spacious arrangement of the infrequently heard ballad "I Waited for You," following it with a rollicking ... see all copies from $14.41! new only from $14.41!
11 view cover	Swiss Nights, Vol. 3 (1975) more music like this by Dexter Gordon The third of three CDs taken from tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon's appearances at the 1975 Zurich Jazz Festival has more variety than the other two. There are previously unissued versions of "Tenor Madness" and "Days of Wine and Roses" (the latter has a guest appearance by trumpeter Joe Newman), tender ballad renditions of "Didn't We" and ... see all copies from $17.03! new only from $17.03!
12 view cover	Jazz Showcase (1953) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Here Jazz Showcase focuses tightly upon the mid-'50s recordings that thrust Sonny Rollins firmly into the spotlight, gathering seven tracks from Prestige, two from Contemporary, and one from Riverside. For those interested in samples of Rollins' most famous albums, the CD contains one track from Way Out West and a selection from Plus Four (with ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!
13 view cover	The Battle of the Tenors (1998) more music like this by Eddie Harris & Wendell Harrison Eddie Harris rarely recorded beside other solo tenors, so this live gig at the 1994 Montreux Detroit Jazz Festival, made two years before Harris' death, promises to be both an unusual document and an object lesson on just how different Harris was from every other tenorman on the planet. As in "Swiss Movement," Harris grafted himself onto a working ... see all copies from $5.99!
14 view cover	Yamanashi Blues (1994) more music like this by California Guitar Trio For lovers of superb instrumental music, the debut by the California Guitar Trio, Yamanashi Blues, is one of the best of the '90s. Recorded strictly on amplified acoustic guitars (supplied by Bert Lams, Hideyo Moriya, and Paul Richards), the band touches upon a wide variety of musical genres, as they cover easily identifiable classical, surf, pop, ... see all copies from $13.99!
15 view cover	Cut It Out (1998) more music like this by Frank Catalano Just 19 years old at the time of this recording, Catalano has talent to burn and chops to match. He takes liberties at times with overblown squawks, but is mainly a grounded be-bopper with a full tone on tenor sax. The fine pianist Willie Pickens, bassist Brian Sandstrom, and drummers Robert Shy or Rusty Jones help out. Ira Sullivan guests on two ... see all copies from $14.00!
16 view cover	Early Trane (2008) more music like this by John Coltrane see all copies from $23.04! new only from $23.04!

20 view cover	Jam Session, Vol. 13 (2005) more music like this by Various Artists Producer Nils Winther's ambitious series of jam sessions follows in the footsteps of the legendary Norman Granz, though Winther's affairs tend to be less showy and more focused on co-operation, even though the solos are first rate. Three alto saxophonists, Dick Oatts, Jon Gordon, and Billy Drewes, who have likely played together in various ... see all copies from $14.37! new only from $14.37!
21 view cover	The Best of Sonny Rollins [Prestige] (2004) more music like this by Sonny Rollins It's easy to look at the titles of a number of jazz musicians' albums from the 1950s and wonder to oneself: were these guys egotistical? Tenor Sonny Rollins, for instance, named one album Saxophone Colossus and another Tour de Force. While one might blush at the lack of modesty, it's still difficult to argue about the results. Rollins, as he ... see all copies from $16.46! new only from $16.46!
22 view cover	Inside the Outer Kingdom (1995) more music like this by Bobby King Considering the talent that he shows throughout this 1983 album (which was released for the first time in 1995), it is very surprising that tenor-saxophonist Bobby King is so obscure. Based in Los Angeles and a veteran of stints with Lionel Hampton, Stan Kenton, Maynard Ferguson, and Don Ellis, among others (and one who sat in with John Coltrane ... see all copies from $12.79! new only from $12.79!
23 view cover	Capital Hill (1989) more music like this by Buck Hill Buck Hill recorded three sets for SteepleChase during 1978-81, one for a smaller European label and then nothing until 1989. Unlike most of his earlier dates, this Muse CD is mostly comprised of standards (six out of eight songs) and puts the emphasis on the boppish side of the tenor's style, greatly assisted by pianist Barry Harris, bassist Ray ... see all copies from $20.00!
24 view cover	Jam Session, Vol. 19 (2006) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $17.03! new only from $17.03!
