1	Kind of Blue (1959) more music like this by Miles Davis Kind of Blue isn't merely an artistic highlight for Miles Davis, it's an album that towers above its peers, a record generally considered as the definitive jazz album, a universally acknowledged standard of excellence. Why does Kind of Blue posses such a mystique? Perhaps because this music never flaunts its genius. It lures listeners in with ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £5.93!
2	A Love Supreme (1964) more music like this by John Coltrane Easily one of the most important records ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was his pinnacle studio outing that at once compiled all of his innovations from his past, spoke of his current deep spirituality, and also gave a glimpse into the next two and a half years (sadly, those would be his last). Recorded at the end of 1964, Trane's ... see all copies from £2.87! new only from £5.14!
3	Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane - At Carnegie Hall (2005) more music like this by Thelonious Monk/John Coltrane Larry Appelbaum, the recording lab supervisor at the Library of Congress, came across this tape by accident while transferring the library's tape archive to digital. What a find. Forget the Five Spot recording that sounds like it was recorded inside of a tunnel from the far end. The sound here is wonderfully present and contemporary. More ... see all copies from £8.27! new only from £8.27!
4	Breathless (1992) more music like this by Kenny G One among many huge hit albums featuring the shimmering, willowy soprano sax solos of Kenny G. He's the best-selling saxophonist of all time, and has never claimed to be a jazz musician, which is accurate. These are simple, sometimes enjoyable, pop tunes with forgettable melodies, and no harmonic tension or rhythmic excitement. Ron Wynn, All ... see all copies from £2.11! new only from £7.50!
5	The Köln Concert (1975) more music like this by Keith Jarrett Recorded in 1975 at the Köln Opera House and released the same year, this disc has, along with its revelatory music, some attendant cultural baggage that is unfair in one sense: Every pot-smoking and dazed and confused college kid -- and a few of the more sophisticated ones in high school -- owned this as one of the truly classic jazz records, ... see all copies from £7.52! new only from £8.73!
6	Best of Schoolhouse Rock (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Schoolhouse Rock was famous for its clever, insidiously catchy songs -- songs that were so entertaining, two generations of kids didn't realize they were learning as they memorized the tunes. For years, collections of the Schoolhouse Rock songs were unavailable, until Rhino released the four-disc box set Schoolhouse Rock! in 1996. It was a ... see all copies from £11.11! new only from £11.11!
7	High School Musical [Special Edition] (2006) more music like this by Original TV Soundtrack In the Disney Channel's original movie High School Musical, the star basketball player and a brainy new arrival discover their love of singing at a karaoke night, then try out for the school musical and challenge the status quo of their cliques in the process. While the movie's soundtrack isn't exactly challenging, it does feature a pretty ... see all copies from £11.03! new only from £11.03!
8	Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas [Bonus Tracks] (2002) more music like this by Ella Fitzgerald This is a delightful Christmas jazz reissue featuring Ella Fitzgerald in prime form. On most selections she is backed by Frank DeVol's orchestra. The original dozen selections have been expanded with the addition of three alternate takes plus three selections only out previously on samplers, including "Christmas Island." Fitzgerald clearly had a ... see all copies from £7.91! new only from £7.91!
9	Disney's Karaoke Series: High School Musical (2006) more music like this by Karaoke Containing both instrumental and vocal versions of almost all the songs from the original soundtrack (only "Stick to the Status Quo" is completely left out), the High School Musical edition of Disney's Karaoke Series is great for the aspiring teen singer. Plus, the bonus "girl solo" track, the duet with Troy on "Start of Something New," is a good ... see all copies from £7.26! new only from £7.26!
10	An Oscar Peterson Christmas (1995) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Oscar Peterson takes it easy during his relaxed set. He had not completely recovered from his stroke but he was still an impressive pianist. Peterson, who is assisted by guitarist Lorne Lofsky, bassist David Young, and drummer Jerry Fuller, is joined by a 20-piece string section arranged and conducted by Rick Wilkins. The 14 holiday tunes (which ... see all copies from £8.61! new only from £8.61!
11 view cover	Birth of the Cool (1949) more music like this by Miles Davis So dubbed because these three sessions -- two from early 1949, one from March 1950 -- are where the sound known as cool jazz essentially formed, The Birth of the Cool remains one of the defining, pivotal moments in jazz. This is where the elasticity of bop was married with skillful, big-band arrangements and a relaxed, subdued mood that made it ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £4.08!
12 view cover	Friday Night in San Francisco (1980) more music like this by Al di Meola/John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucía Loose and spontaneous, this (mainly) live album is a meeting of three of the greatest guitarists in the world for an acoustic summit the likes of which the guitar-playing community rarely sees. Broken up into three duo and two trio performances, Friday Night in San Francisco catches all three players at the peaks of their quite formidable powers. ... see all copies from £7.55! new only from £8.10!
13 view cover	Bug Music (1996) more music like this by Don Byron Bug Music is a tribute to the music of the Raymond Scott Quintette, the John Kirby Sextet and Duke Ellington, headed by the remarkably versatile clarinetist Don Byron. Raymond Scott's legendary compositions feature eccentric song titles (including, on this set, "Siberian Sleighride," "Tobacco Auctioneer" and "War Dance for Wooden Indians"), ... see all copies from £12.45! new only from £12.45!
14 view cover	High School Musical (2006) more music like this by Original TV Soundtrack In the Disney Channel's original movie High School Musical, the star basketball player and a brainy new arrival discover their love of singing at a karaoke night, then try out for the school musical and challenge the status quo of their cliques in the process. While the movie's soundtrack isn't exactly challenging, it does feature a pretty ... see all copies from £3.58! new only from £8.45!
15 view cover	All for You (1996) more music like this by Diana Krall Pianist/vocalist Diana Krall pays tribute to the Nat King Cole Trio on her Impulse! set. In general, the medium and up-tempo tunes work best, particularly such hot ditties as "I'm an Errand Girl for Rhythm," "Frim Fram Sauce," and "Hit That Jive Jack." Krall does not attempt to directly copy Cole much (either pianistically or vocally), although ... see all copies from £5.46! new only from £6.57!
16 view cover	The Coolest Kidz Bop Christmas Ever (2007) more music like this by Kidz Bop Kids see all copies from £4.30! new only from £8.03!
17 view cover	Wingspan: Hits and History (2001) more music like this by Paul McCartney Paul McCartney always got the short end of the stick when he was in the Beatles and again in the '70s, as he and his erstwhile partner John Lennon pursued solo careers. McCartney was attacked for his virtues -- for his melodicism and his domesticity, along with his desire to form a real touring band following the Beatles. None of these were ... see all copies from £4.00! new only from £11.72!
18 view cover	The Sidewinder (1963) more music like this by Lee Morgan Carried by its almost impossibly infectious eponymous opening track, The Sidewinder helped foreshadow the sounds of boogaloo and soul-jazz with its healthy R&B influence and Latin tinge. While the rest of the album retreats to a more conventional hard bop sound, Morgan's compositions are forward-thinking and universally solid. Only 25 at the time ... see all copies from £4.10! new only from £8.12!
19 view cover	Against the Wind (1980) more music like this by Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band Though there are still some traces of the confessionals that underpinned Beautiful Loser through Stranger in Town, Against the Wind finds Bob Seger turning toward craft. Perhaps he had to, since Against the Wind arrived after three blockbuster albums and never-ending tours. Even so, this record winds up not feeling as immediate or soulful as its ... see all copies from £2.73! new only from £7.48!
20 view cover	Maiden Voyage (1965) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Less overtly adventurous than its predecessor, Empyrean Isles, Maiden Voyage nevertheless finds Herbie Hancock at a creative peak. In fact, it's arguably his finest record of the '60s, reaching a perfect balance between accessible, lyrical jazz and chance-taking hard bop. By this point, the pianist had been with Miles Davis for two years, and it's ... see all copies from £4.68! new only from £8.29!
21 view cover	A Winter's Solstice, Vol. 2 (1986) more music like this by Various Artists Depending on the mood you're in, this compilation album will make you dream, smile, or cry a nostalgic tear. It is a typical Windham Hill sampler: wistful, joyful, lush, and lovely. Most songs stick with piano or string instrumentation, and none of them could ever be classified as up-tempo. A few of the tracks, including "The Gift" and "Sung to ... see all copies from £2.03! new only from £5.09!
22 view cover	Moonbeams (1962) more music like this by Bill Evans Trio Moonbeams was the first recording Bill Evans made after the death of his musical right arm, bassist Scott LaFaro. Indeed, in LaFaro, Evans found a counterpart rather than a sideman, and the music they made together over four albums showed it. Bassist Chuck Israels from Cecil Taylor and Bud Powell's bands took his place in the band with Evans and ... see all copies from £6.91! new only from £6.91!
23 view cover	Pat Metheny Group (1978) more music like this by Pat Metheny Group The first recording by the Pat Metheny Group features the innovative guitarist along with keyboardist Lyle Mays, bassist Mark Egan, and drummer Dan Gottlieb. The music is quite distinctive, floating rather than swinging, electric but not rockish, and full of folkish melodies. The best known of these six Metheny-Mays originals are "Phase Dance" and ... see all copies from £6.83! new only from £10.46!
24 view cover	Konvicted (2006) more music like this by Akon "Locked Up"'s success provided Akon with instant heavyweight clout. Upgraded from writing songs and doing the occasional hook for B-, C-, and D-level artists, he tallied a multi-platinum album, was granted his own boutique label (which was used to spawn T-Pain), and became in-demand as an A-list collaborator -- he worked with Young Jeezy, R. Kelly ... see all copies from £3.35! new only from £7.35!
25 view cover	Jacques Loussier Plays Bach (1996) more music like this by Jacques Loussier see all copies from £7.40! new only from £10.98!
