1	The Swinging Guitar of Tal Farlow (1957) more music like this by Tal Farlow In the mid-'50s, guitarist Tal Farlow led one of his finest groups, a drumless trio with pianist Eddie Costa and bassist Vinnie Burke. The same band would record the album Tal a week or two later. With Burke contributing a constant walking bass, the interplay between Farlow and Costa is always exciting, whether they are playing unisons or trading ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $10.35!
2	Parker's Mood (1995) more music like this by Roy Hargrove/Christian McBride/Stephen Scott On this unusual album, Roy Hargrove (trumpet, flugelhorn), Christian McBride (bass) and Stephen Scott (piano) pay homage to the father of bebop with a generous set of (mostly) Charlie Parker compositions performed in trio, duet and solo arrangements. These three musicians, all of whom are part of the back-to-bop youth movement and all of whom have ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $13.78!
3	Yardbird Suite (1988) more music like this by Frank Morgan Quartet Altoist Frank Morgan explores his bebop roots on this infectious set, playing six bop-era standards (four by his idol Charlie Parker) and "Skylark." With stimulating support from pianist Mulgrew Miller, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Al Foster, Morgan pays tribute to Bird, yet does not copy him (although he has the ability to sometimes sound very ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
4	Chops (1978) more music like this by Joe Pass/Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen The word "chops" is a major understatement when describing the talents of guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. Their duo Pablo date (which has been reissued as a CD in the OJC series) is as exciting and full of inventive interplay as one would hope. Pass and Pedersen play an ad-lib blues, nine jazz standards including a ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
5	Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Charlie Parker With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. Even though alto saxophonist Charlie Parker didn't record as much material as other legends in this series, it's ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
6	Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar (2005) more music like this by Various Artists This expansive four-disc anthology essentially covers the recorded history of the guitar in the 20th century, beginning with the ragtime banjo that set the table for the role of the guitar in a jazz setting in the early 1900s, and then touching all the bases clear through to the post-postmodern possibilities of the instrument in the 21st century. ... see all copies from $39.28! new only from $39.28!
7	Shopping For Your Heart (2007) more music like this by Jeff Baker Jazz vocalist Jeff Baker's third CD for OA2 is a perfect example of a confident young singer willing to explore music from many different genres so long as the tunes are promising. Backed by a great band that includes saxophonist Brent Jensen, pianist Bill Anschell, and drummer John Bishop (all of whom were present on his second release for the ... see all copies from $13.33! new only from $13.33!
8	Creek Bank (1958) more music like this by Mose Allison When Mose Allison recorded his six early albums for Prestige, he was best-known as a bop-based pianist who occasionally sang. This single CD (which reissues in full Young Man Mose and Creek Bank) has 15 instrumentals including a rare appearance by Allison on trumpet ("Stroll") but it is his five typically ironic vocals that are most memorable, ... see all copies from $13.03! new only from $13.03!
9	Bebop Spoken Here [Proper] (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Anyone wanting to dive into the world of jazz would do very well to check out this and the many other stellar box sets put out by England's Proper label. Showing how it should be done in the compilation game, the label packs this four-disc set with prime material and a 56-page booklet that includes extensive notes, a detailed sessionography, and ... see all copies from $16.00! new only from $23.63!
10	The Legendary Dial Masters, Vols. 1-2 (1996) more music like this by Charlie Parker There's no denying the weight of history on these tracks -- 14 out of 35 here are also on Rhino's two-CD Yardbird Suite: The Ultimate Collection. Several titles -- "Moose the Mooche," "Yardbird Suite," "Ornithology," "Relaxin' at Camarillo," "Klact-Oveeseds-Tene," "Scrapple from the Apple" -- have been written about so much they're part of the ... see all copies from $26.95!
11 view cover	Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements (2005) more music like this by Gene Krupa Plays Gerry Mulligan Arrangements is an unusual Gene Krupa album from 1958 that was reissued in 2005. Rather than hearing Krupa play his usual swing hits, this is essentially a revisit to his underrated 1946-1949 boppish big band. Mulligan revived some of his arrangements from the period ("Disc Jockey Jump" is the most famous chart) and added a ... see all copies from $5.86! new only from $10.12!
12 view cover	Here to Stay (1955) more music like this by Carmen McRae One of several CDs that reissue singer Carmen McRae's early Decca recordings, this release draws its material from the 1955 small group album By Special Request and a 1959 record with the Ernie Wilkins Orchestra (Something to Swing About). McRae excels in both settings. While tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims, trumpeter Richard Williams and pianist Dick ... see all copies from $9.90! new only from $13.64!
13 view cover	Bird Symbols (1961) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $14.57! new only from $14.57!
14 view cover	April in Paris [Pazzazz] (2004) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $8.94! new only from $8.94!
15 view cover	Bud Plays Bird (1957) more music like this by Bud Powell Previously unissued until 1996, this trio session by pianist Bud Powell with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor is better than his Verve recordings of the period if not quite up to the level of his earlier classic Blue Note dates. Actually it is a mystery how such excellent music could be unknown and go unreleased for so long. Powell ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.32!
16 view cover	California High School (2006) more music like this by Gerry Mulligan This oddly titled release is actually a compilation drawn from two separate concerts, issued in more complete form as part of EMI-Manhattan's Pacific Jazz reissues in 1988. Baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan took his quartet with trumpeter Jon Eardley, bassist Red Mitchell, and drummer Chico Hamilton to Stockton High School. With his earlier ... see all copies from $10.22! new only from $10.22!
17 view cover	Straight Ahead (1990) more music like this by Pete Petersen & The Collection Jazz Orchestra Pete Petersen's Collection Jazz Orchestra, based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, proves on this CD that it is a highly professional stage band that is creative within the boundaries of mainstream jazz. Its release could have been recorded in the early 1960's for there are no hints of the innovations of the avant-garde or any influences from fusion ... see all copies from $7.24! new only from $9.98!
18 view cover	Bird of Paradise [Prism] (2000) more music like this by Charlie Parker see all copies from $3.32! new only from $3.32!

20	The Very Best of Bird (1990) more music like this by Charlie Parker Despite a confusing and misleading title, this is a good two-record set of Parker cuts, covering songs he is best known for. It's not comprehensive, but a good introduction. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $8.00!
21	Bird of Paradise [Delta] (2002) more music like this by Miles Davis see all copies from $4.27! new only from $4.27!
22 view cover	The Modern Jazz Quartet At Music Inn, Vol. 2 (1958) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet with Sonny Rollins see all copies from $10.00!
23 view cover	Yardbird Suite (1957) more music like this by Herbie Mann Although flutist Herbie Mann's reputation suffered in the jazz world in later years due to his interest in other styles of music, during the 1954-58 period he stuck mostly to cool bebop and held his own with the best. This Savoy recording finds him matching ideas with the great altoist Phil Woods, along with vibraphonist Eddie Costa, guitarist Joe ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.76!
24 view cover	The Essentials [Big Eye] (2006) more music like this by Charlie Parker/Miles Davis see all copies from $7.47! new only from $7.47!
25 view cover	Max Roach 4 Plays Charlie Parker (1957) more music like this by Max Roach 4 The music on this CD finds drummer Max Roach for the first time dropping the piano out of his quintet and performing with a pianoless quartet. With the departure of Sonny Rollins (who is replaced on three songs apiece by either Hank Mobley or George Coleman), Roach's group (which also featured trumpeter Kenny Dorham and either George Morrow or ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
