1	Pure Ella (1950) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald In 1950, six years before her acclaimed Song Book series for Verve, Ella Fitzgerald recorded eight George and Ira Gershwin classics in intimate duets with the sensitive and lightly swinging pianist Ellis Larkins. Four years later she recorded a dozen more songs (this time by a variety of composers) with Larkins, and all 20 performances are ... see all copies from $5.94! new only from $6.41!
2	What Is There to Say? (1958) more music like this by Gerry Mulligan The last of the pianoless quartet albums that Gerry Mulligan recorded in the 1950s is one of the best, featuring the complementary trumpet of Art Farmer, bassist Bill Crow, and drummer Dave Bailey along with the baritonist/leader. This recording is a little skimpy on playing time but makes every moment count. Virtually every selection is memorable ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
3	After Midnight: The Complete Session (1956) more music like this by Nat King Cole Trio After several years of hearing criticism from the jazz press about his decision to break up his trio and become a pop singer, Nat "King" Cole was persuaded to record this jazz set. Joined by a strong rhythm section (including guitarist John Collins), Cole welcomed four guests for several selections apiece: altoist Willie Smith, trumpeter Harry ... see all copies from $6.72! new only from $14.43!
4	Embraceable You (1957) more music like this by Chet Baker A ballad collection that emphasizes Chet Baker's troubled-romantic vocal style, it's not too surprising that these 1957 recordings remained in the vaults for almost 40 years. For one thing, Baker's delicate tenor, having won the hearts of thousands of teenage fans, was considered somewhat of a novelty to most critics. For another, his guitar-and ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $11.13!
5	Odyssey: 1945-1952 (2002) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This excellent three-disc set contains 64 great songs performed by Dizzy Gillespie and company in varied settings. Odyssey: 1945-1952 chronicles the master trumpeter in small groups, big bands, a session with strings, and also some blues. Among the rare treats on the collection are a full-fledged Gillespie big band score "Interlude (A Night in ... see all copies from $41.19! new only from $41.19!
6	Everybody Digs Bill Evans (1958) more music like this by Bill Evans Trio Everybody Digs Bill Evans was a landmark recording for the young pianist and sported a unique album cover, featuring written-out endorsements from Miles Davis, George Shearing, Ahmad Jamal, and Cannonball Adderley. At a time approximate to when Evans was performing with the famous Kind of Blue band of Davis, Adderley, and John Coltrane, and ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
7	Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions (1959) more music like this by Ike Quebec During his comeback years (1959-62) after a decade mostly off the scene, tenor saxophonist Ike Quebec recorded frequently for Blue Note. He started off with a session aimed at the 45 jukebox market and, although he eventually made a few full-length albums for the label, Quebec cut four 45 dates over a two-and-a-half-year period. This double-disc ... see all copies from $24.28! new only from $24.28!
8	At the Waldorf Astoria/At the Sands (2002) more music like this by Lena Horne Due the permanence of film, Lena Horne may be destined to be best known for her guest appearances in a series of MGM musicals, but her real strength was live performance, whether she was dancing on the stage of the Cotton Club in her teens or sweeping across the stage of a Las Vegas casino hotel in her forties. This discount-priced two-fer reissue ... see all copies from $13.62! new only from $13.62!
9	Smooth Operator (1999) more music like this by Dorothy Dandridge Smooth Operator explores a little-known aspect of the beautiful, troubled African-American actress Dorothy Dandridge: her vocal abilities. Most of this album comes from a 1958 recording session featuring Dandridge's lovely interpretations of "When Your Lover Has Gone," "Body & Soul" and the title track. That her backing band is an augmented ... see all copies from $8.49! new only from $13.91!
10	With a Song in My Heart/Yours Alone (2000) more music like this by Jane Froman see all copies from $7.80!
11	Hollywood Stampede (1945) more music like this by Coleman Hawkins Hawkins led one of his finest bands in 1945, a sextet with the fiery trumpeter Howard McGhee that fell somewhere between small-group swing and bebop. This CD contains all of that group's 12 recordings, including memorable versions of "Rifftide" and "Stuffy"; trombonist Vic Dickenson guests on four tracks. This CD concludes with one of Hawkins' ... see all copies from $6.67!
12 view cover	Everybody Digs Bill Evans [Keepnews Collection] (2007) more music like this by Bill Evans Everybody Digs Bill Evans was a landmark recording for the young pianist and sported a unique album cover, featuring written-out endorsements from Miles Davis, George Shearing, Ahmad Jamal, and Cannonball Adderley. At a time approximate to when Evans was performing with the famous Kind of Blue band of Davis, Adderley, and John Coltrane, and ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
13 view cover	Plays for Lovers (2003) more music like this by Barney Kessel Playing complex bop changes at a fast tempo was never a problem for Barney Kessel; few bop experts would disagree that his chops were impeccable, and it was a sad day for jazz when, in 1992, a major stroke forced him to retire from music. But when Kessel was still active, he was among bop's finest guitarists -- and not just because of his ability ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
14 view cover	Best Thing for You (1997) more music like this by Della Reese see all copies from $10.00! new only from $13.53!
15 view cover	Pisces (2004) more music like this by Johnny Griffin/Eddie Lockjaw Davis When Johnny Griffin and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis entered a New York studio with producer Orrin Keepnews on May 3, 1962, they did some things that were unusual for the two-tenor team. They played mostly ballads, they didn't engage in any tenor battles and -- most surprising of all -- they didn't perform together on any of the tunes. Griffin was ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
16 view cover	The Shearing Touch (1960) more music like this by George Shearing Shearing's highly stylized piano playing is present here, at a time when contemporary Dave Brubeck was doing much of the same stylistically. He is using similar unorthodox time signatures, incorporating classical techniques, as well as using light pop melodies, accents, and subtle rhythms. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.24!
17 view cover	The Freelance Years: The Complete Riverside and Contemporary Recordings (1956) more music like this by Sonny Rollins Picking up only ten days after Fantasy's Complete Prestige Recordings box leaves off, these five discs run through one of Rollins' most fertile (some insist, the most fertile) periods. Not only are Rollins' Riverside and Contemporary sessions as a leader and sideman collected in toto; Fantasy also includes three tracks recorded for Period in ... see all copies from $54.44! new only from $54.44!
18 view cover	Black & White Satin (1998) more music like this by George Shearing see all copies from $7.91! new only from $15.75!
19 view cover	Jazz Singer (2003) more music like this by Rosemary Clooney After finishing her period as one of the Clooney Sisters with Tony Pastor's orchestra, Rosemary Clooney became famous for her pop hits on the Columbia label in the early '50s. Although never really a jazz singer on a consistent basis, Clooney had a few opportunities to record in jazz settings in the 1950s, most notably an album with Duke Ellington ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
20 view cover	Ella for Lovers (2003) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This 16-track collection features Ella Fitzgerald in a variety of musical settings singing romantic songs of love. The disc covers the years 1950 to 1961 with songs taken from the Verve and Decca archives. Four songs are culled from Intimate Ella, which has pianist Paul Smith as her sole accompanist. For the six songs from Pure Ella, she is backed ... see all copies from $2.75! new only from $10.29!
21 view cover	Two for the Road (1980) more music like this by Carmen McRae With George Shearing The only recorded meeting between George Shearing and Carmen McRae took place in 1980 for Concord, and it's a shame there wasn't a follow-up date. Although the pianist's backing of singers on recordings is relatively infrequent, he always provides them with richly textured and inspired accompaniment. McRae is in great voice on this date, before ... see all copies from $8.90! new only from $10.71!
22 view cover	The Sound of Sonny (1957) more music like this by Sonny Rollins A new phase in Sonny Rollins' career began in 1957. He started what was at the time an almost blasphemous trend of recording for a number of different labels. His pioneering spirit yielded a few genre-defining albums, including this disc. His performances were also at a peak during 1957 as Down Beat magazine proclaimed him the Critics' Poll winner ... see all copies from $3.32! new only from $3.32!
23 view cover	Soulidarity (1995) more music like this by Gerry Wiggins This spirited CD gives listeners a very good example of how pianist Gerry Wiggins was sounding in the mid-'90s. It is strange that it had been many years since his last trio album, for this was always the perfect setting for Wiggins. Joined by bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Paul Humphrey, the pianist swings creatively on such numbers as "The ... see all copies from $57.95!
24 view cover	High Pressure (1957) more music like this by Red Garland Quintet The distinctive pianist Red Garland, tenor saxophonist John Coltrane (then 31 and already breaking away from the pack), and trumpeter Donald Byrd, along with the supportive bassist George Joyner and drummer Art Taylor, perform five jazz standards on this CD reissue. Highlights include "Soft Winds," "Undecided," and an explosive version of "Two ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.44!
25 view cover	Easy Like, Vol. 1 (1953) more music like this by Barney Kessel Other than four songs apiece released by Onyx and Verve, the CD reissue of Easy Like, Vol. 1 has guitarist Barney Kessel's first sessions as a leader, performances which launched his longtime association with the Contemporary label. Augmented by two "new" alternate takes, the set features Kessel in boppish form with quintets in 1953 and 1956 ... see all copies from $10.80! new only from $10.80!
