1	Steel Guitar Jazz (1963) more music like this by Buddy Emmons Buddy Emmons wasn't the first musician to be featured playing a pedal steel guitar in a jazz setting, but it is unlikely that anyone else recorded an entire date playing one prior to this 1963 session. Although both he and the instrument are indelibly associated with country music, Emmons makes it work for several reasons. He's surrounded by some ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
2	Horace Silver and the Jazz Messengers (1954) more music like this by Horace Silver & the Jazz Messengers A true classic, this CD found pianist Horace Silver and drummer Art Blakey co-leading the Jazz Messengers; Silver would leave a year later to form his own group. Also featuring trumpeter Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley on tenor, and bassist Doug Watkins, this set is most notable for the original versions of Silver's "The Preacher" and "Doodlin'," funky ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
3	Big Fat Brass/Bill's Bag (2001) more music like this by Billy May Brass jazzman Billy May sees his 1958 and 1963 LPs get the two-fer treatment on this 2001 CD release from EMI. Chris True, All Music Guide see all copies from $17.79! new only from $17.79!
4	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 $2.99! new only from $2.99!
5	Woody Herman (1958) (1957) more music like this by Woody Herman see all copies from $3.00! new only from $7.00!
6	All Time Best of Louis Armstrong (1990) more music like this by Louis Armstrong All-Time Best of Louis Armstrong is an uneven but entertaining collection of ten random vocal-pop hits from the latter part of Armstrong's long, prolific career, featuring such songs as "What a Wonderful World," "Way Down Yonder in New Orleans," "Blueberry Hill," "Hello Dolly," and "Rocky Mountain Moon." It's an OK collection for its budget price, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.03!
7	Crunch Time (1999) more music like this by Hank Crawford & Jimmy McGriff Over at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in Jersey during the '90s, it was just like 1969 with soul-jazz sessions bursting forth at a more leisurely yet no less insistent clip. This could only mean that Hank Crawford and co-billed leader Jimmy McGriff were at it again, playing off the Bernard Purdie shuffle on the first two tracks, and cruising through ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $13.78!
8	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 $5.01! new only from $5.01!
9	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!
10	Woody Live: East and West (1967) more music like this by Woody Herman The Woody Herman Herds of the late '60s remained vibrant units, although turnover in personnel was somewhat disruptive. These two sessions recorded live in 1967 (one in San Francisco, the other in New York -- hence the title) miss some of the star quality of earlier years, but there are versions of timeless classics such as "I Remember Clifford," ... see all copies from $16.00! new only from $59.12!
11	Time After Time (1980) more music like this by Buddy Morrow Orchestra see all copies from $2.99! new only from $7.17!
12 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 29 (1994) more music like this by Jimmy Smith On this fine overview of Jimmy Smith's career, Verve continues its excellent tradition of providing excellent single-disc, budget-priced compilations of some of jazz's greatest artists. Of course, Verve Jazz Masters 29 is not the place for a definitive selection of Smith's greatest moments -- a single disc could never achieve this -- but it's a ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
13 view cover	Head to Head (2002) more music like this by John Allred/Wycliffe Gordon It all started, of course, with J.J. Johnson and Kai Winding back in the 1950s, but the trombone duo with rhythm has since been tried from time to time with varying success by several others. This one is sure to please fans of the genre, for not only are John Allred and Wycliffe Gordon two of the top jazz trombonists around, but the choice of ... see all copies from $12.36! new only from $14.79!
14 view cover	New Orleans Party Gras (2004) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $8.65! new only from $8.65!
15 view cover	Honor Thy Fatha (1978) more music like this by Earl Hines This CD reissues one of pianist Earl Hines's last recordings, a Direct to Disc album done originally for RealTime and formerly titled Hits I've Missed. Hines (with backup from bassist Red Callender and drummer Bill Douglass) performs nine songs, some of which were more familiar than others. Certainly Hines was well acquainted with Fats Waller's ... see all copies from $4.14! new only from $4.14!
16 view cover	Turning Point (2007) more music like this by BMR4 The second CD from BMR4 shows them to be a contemporary jazz ensemble influenced by their previous role models in a way that is clearly evident. Being from Chicago, they've listened to their share of blues, and soul-jazz à la Ramsey Lewis. Modern New Orleans and New York City neo-boppers they enjoy also enter the mix. Guitarist Neal Alger is the ... see all copies from $8.84! new only from $8.84!
17 view cover	The Jazz Giants Play Horace Silver: Opus de Funk (1954) more music like this by Various Artists Now here is a really enterprising subject for a songbook album -- a composer who was not a Tin Pan Alley pop craftsman and whose output had not been anthologized until this release. True, Silver wrote fewer standards than, say, Porter or the Gershwins, and fewer jazz artists covered them, thus limiting Fantasy's choices (the zany Eddie Jefferson ... see all copies from $35.00! new only from $50.32!
18 view cover	Woody Herman & His Orchestra: 1956 (2000) more music like this by Woody Herman & His Orchestra Woody Herman's Third Herd was in its later years when it appeared at the Lagoon in Salt Lake City in July 1956. This two-CD set of previously unreleased material features the Herd performing live during a two-day period. At the time, the key soloists included trombonist Bill Harris (a veteran of the First and Second Herds); trumpeter Dick Collins; ... see all copies from $51.39! new only from $51.39!
19 view cover	Compact Jazz: Quincy Jones (1981) more music like this by Quincy Jones Mostly drawn from The Birth of a Bands Vols. 1 and 2 and The Great Wide World of Quincy Jones, here we have a sampler of Quincy Jones' brassy, classy, unquenchably swinging big band of 1959 -- plus a couple of tracks from the 1960 Paris band and one from an unidentified Fender bass-driven 1963 band. The arrangements definitely have a signature ... see all copies from $12.76!
20 view cover	Props for Pops (1996) more music like this by Leroy Jones Leroy Jones is a fine New Orleans trumpeter based in trad jazz but open to the influence of bop. His clipped phrases give him a distinctive sound, and his vocals are spirited. On this CD, he pays homage to Louis Armstrong by playing several songs associated with "Satch," along with a few of his own original tributes. Teamed up with trombonist ... see all copies from $6.95!
21 view cover	Immortal Concerts: Club Baby Grand, Wilmington De (2000) more music like this by Jimmy Smith see all copies from $29.95! new only from $49.98!
22 view cover	Music of Horace Silver: Beginner & Intermed (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $13.48!
23 view cover	The Master (1993) more music like this by Jimmy Smith Trio Organist Jimmy Smith, in a trio with guitarist Kenny Burrell and drummer Jimmie Smith (no relation), performs six diverse blues and three familiar standards. Although the music is somewhat predictable, it swings hard and is often rollicking. Burrell sounds inspired and Smith, who largely originated this idiom, shows that he is still an ... see all copies from $6.59! new only from $59.95!
24 view cover	The Best of Horace Silver, Vol. 1 (1953) more music like this by Horace Silver Taking in Horace Silver's fertile '50s stretch (volume two covers the '60s), this Blue Note best-of disc is the perfect introductory set for listeners new to the hard bop giant. One of the first of the soul-jazz innovators (listen to that gospel-fired left hand and all that dancefloor-friendly material), Silver also wrote some of the most original ... see all copies from $14.22! new only from $14.22!
25 view cover	Blues -- The Common Ground (1967) more music like this by Kenny Burrell When it comes to Kenny Burrell, a title like Blues -- The Common Ground speaks volumes. His approach always keeps in mind the connection of jazz to the blues, infusing his guitar with a soulful, hard bop edge. Recorded in 1967 and 1968, Blues -- The Common Ground finds Burrell backed by lots of brass and wind instruments for most of the album, ... see all copies from $13.78! new only from $13.78!
