1	Head Hunters (1973) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Head Hunters was a pivotal point in Herbie Hancock's career, bringing him into the vanguard of jazz fusion. Hancock had pushed avant-garde boundaries on his own albums and with Miles Davis, but he had never devoted himself to the groove as he did on Head Hunters. Drawing heavily from Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, and James Brown, Hancock developed ... see all copies from $4.74! new only from $10.32!
2	The Essential Herbie Hancock (2006) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Calling a two-disc retrospective of the varied and celebrated career of Herbie Hancock "essential" is a tall order to fill. Sony/BMG's Legacy does, as would be expected, an incomplete but decent job at offering a fine representative look at the artist, and at choosing best-known cuts to do so. This set is admirably cross-licensed by producer Bob ... see all copies from $15.27! new only from $15.27!
3	Flood (1975) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters take to the road in the live double album Flood, recorded and released only in Japan. Contrary to the impression left by his American releases at this time, Hancock was still very much attached to the acoustic piano, as his erudite opening workout on "Maiden Voyage/Actual Proof" with his funk rhythm section makes ... see all copies from $28.99! new only from $28.99!
4	Putumayo Presents: World Hits (2007) more music like this by Various Artists It probably helps to define the word "hit" before determining whether this 11-song compilation lives up to its title. If it means that a record must have placed in the Billboard Top Ten in America, then the title is a fib -- not all of these recordings even made the Top 100. And if World Hits is meant to imply that its contents are sung in ... see all copies from $13.62! new only from $13.62!
5	Jazz a Saint Germain (1998) more music like this by Various Artists This compilation of jazz and pop with a Continental flair includes two of the most famous French female pop stars, Jane Birkin and Françoise Hardy, in duets with Jimmy Rowles and Iggy Pop, respectively. Elsewhere, great tracks are turned in by Angélique Kidjo, the Jazz Passengers with Debbie Harry, and Catherine Ringer & the Renegade Brass Band. ... see all copies from $15.11! new only from $15.11!
6	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 $17.73! new only from $17.73!
7	Watermelon Man (1962) more music like this by Mongo Santamaria Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" was a gigantic hit for Mongo Santamaria in 1963, doing for him in the '60s what Pérez Prado's big mambo hits did for him in the '50s. Naturally, then, the follow-up LP to the single is devoted to 12 airplay-length tracks loaded with bright, swinging Latin cha-chas and mambo rhythms mixed with blues, soul, and ... see all copies from $7.63! new only from $17.33!
8	Thru My Eyes (1996) more music like this by Michel Camilo see all copies from $9.47! new only from $10.29!
9	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 12: Saxophobia (1996) more music like this by Various Artists The lounge sounds of the '50s and '60s on this compilation are very much of a piece with the other volumes of the Ultra-Lounge series. But as you'd expect from the title, the emphasis is on vintage lounge at its jazziest, with the saxophone to the fore. This isn't the kind of jazz you're going to read about in Down Beat, despite the presence of ... see all copies from $6.89! new only from $11.13!
10	Color Him Funky/H.R. Is a Dirty Guitar Player (2002) more music like this by Howard Roberts Two Capitol LPs are reissued in full on this CD. Howard Roberts, a talented jazz guitarist from the 1950s who chose to become a studio musician, is in fine form on these selections, playing soul-jazz and swinging hard bop with a pair of quartets that have either Paul Bryant or Burkley Kendrix on organ. At the time these albums were released (they ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
11 view cover	Live Wire/Blues Power (1968) more music like this by Albert King Live Wire/Blues Power is one of Albert King's definitive albums. Recorded live at the Fillmore Auditorium in 1968, the guitarist is at the top of his form throughout the record -- his solos are intense and piercing. The band is fine, but ultimately it's King's show -- he makes Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" dirty and funky and wrings out all ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
12 view cover	Right Here, Right Now (2003) more music like this by David Benoit A true elder statesman of contemporary jazz (whose seminal mid-'80s recordings helped pave the way for the smooth jazz genre), pianist David Benoit stayed relevant, fresh, and funky due to three factors -- brilliant melodies, stylistic diversity from track to track, and working with hip, edgy producers. Rick Braun co-produced two of Benoit's ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
13 view cover	Wednesday Night in San Francisco: Recorded Live at the Fillmore Auditorium (1990) more music like this by Albert King Wednesday Night in San Francisco: Recorded Live at the Fillmore Auditorium was recorded in June of 1968 -- it's culled from the very same dates as Live Wire/Blues Power. It's slightly weaker than Live Wire, which isn't surprising since it consists of outtakes. Nevertheless, Albert King is in fine form throughout the record, throwing out stinging ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
14 view cover	Cantaloupe Island (1995) more music like this by Herbie Hancock A mini-retrospective of Herbie Hancock's early years as a jazz artist, this six-track CD touches on some of his best-known small-ensemble works from that period. Of his first five albums for Blue Note Records from 1963-1965, Takin' Off, My Point of View, Empyrean Isles, and Maiden Voyage are represented -- his third and perhaps most individually ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!
15 view cover	Funky Good Time: The Anthology (1995) more music like this by The J.B. Horns The J.B.'s recorded under various billings in the early '70s, including the J.B.'s, Fred Wesley & the J.B.'s, Maceo & the Macks, the First Family, the Last Word, and others. This double CD gathers 30 of the prime tracks by all of the above configurations from the first half of the '70s, including all nine of their chart hits and quite a few rare ... see all copies from $19.05! new only from $27.16!
16 view cover	The Complete Vanguard Recordings (2000) more music like this by Buddy Guy see all copies from $19.97! new only from $19.97!
17 view cover	Latin Soul (1999) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Recorded live at two leading California nightspots, Yoshi's in Oakland and the Latin-specializing Conga Room in Los Angeles (the actual sound in the Conga Room is never as good as that on this CD), Concord no doubt hoped for an exceptionally hot live session from this tireless defender of the Latin jazz tradition. What they got was merely a decent ... see all copies from $7.38! new only from $7.38!
18 view cover	An Evening with Earl Hines (1973) more music like this by Earl Hines This double LP is valuable as documentation of Earl Hines and his band on a typical gig in 1973. Marva Josie has a few vocals and Tiny Grimes contributes some guitar solos but the leader/pianist is easily the main star, romping on such tunes as "Perdido," "Boogie Woogie on the St. Louis Blues" and "Lester Leaps In." Swinging (if not essential) ... see all copies from $13.91! new only from $13.91!
19 view cover	Conga Blue (1995) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Conga player Poncho Sanchez has been one of the leaders in Latin jazz for a decade. This outstanding studio recording delivers the excitement with the addition of special guest Mongo Santamaria on "Watermelon Man" and several originals. Great solos by trumpeter Stan "Be Bop" Martin and baritone saxophonist Scott Martin add spice to the lively ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $12.08!
20 view cover	Wild Cool and Swingin' (1999) more music like this by Julie London Wild, Cool and Swingin' compiles 22 songs from several of the many albums she made for the Liberty label from 1957 though 1966. Most of the selections link London with obviously good but mostly unidentified studio players, as well as with excellently arranged material that is unencumbered, for the most part, by syrupy string ensemble playing. Her ... see all copies from $9.60! new only from $11.13!
21 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 $22.14! new only from $22.14!
22 view cover	Rock Instrumental Classics, Vol. 4: Soul (1994) more music like this by Various Artists While the material on volume four of Rhino's rock instrumentals set chronologically preceded what was on the third volume, no soul, R&B, or even soul-jazz and funk fan should mind these 18 genuine classics, including two superb numbers from Booker T. and the MGs, seminal tracks by the Mar-Keys, Bar-Kays, and Cannonball Adderley, and great Latin ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
23 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 $14.97!
24 view cover	Blue Flame [1955] (1955) more music like this by Woody Herman see all copies from $4.88! new only from $5.00!
25 view cover	Takin' Off (1962) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Herbie Hancock's debut as a leader, Takin' Off, revealed a composer and pianist able to balance sophistication and accessibility, somewhat in the vein of Blue Note's prototype hard bopper Horace Silver. Yet while Hancock could be just as funky and blues-rooted as Silver, their overall styles diverged in several ways: Hancock was lighter and more ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $12.47!
