1	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 £2.19! new only from £3.98!
2	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 £6.03! new only from £7.87!
3	In a Silent Way (1969) more music like this by Miles Davis Listening to Miles Davis' originally released version of In a Silent Way in light of the complete sessions released by Sony in 2001 (Columbia Legacy 65362) reveals just how strategic and dramatic a studio construction it was. If one listens to Joe Zawinul's original version of "In a Silent Way," it comes across as almost a folk song with a very ... see all copies from £2.74! new only from £7.16!
4	My Favorite Things (1960) more music like this by John Coltrane Although seemingly impossible to comprehend, this landmark jazz recording was made in less than three days. All the more remarkable is that the same sessions which yielded My Favorite Things would also inform a majority of the albums Coltrane Plays the Blues, Coltrane's Sound, and Coltrane Legacy. It is easy to understand the appeal that these ... see all copies from £2.83! new only from £6.37!
5	Blue Light 'Til Dawn (1993) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson Cassandra Wilson has steadfastly refused to be pigeonholed or confined to any stylistic formula. Her highly anticipated Blue Note debut may stir renewed controversy, as she is once again all over the place. She begins the set with her intriguing version of "You Don't Know What Love Is." Then she moves from two Robert Johnson covers ("Come on in My ... see all copies from £2.71! new only from £6.03!
6	New Moon Daughter (1995) more music like this by Cassandra Wilson Singer Cassandra Wilson, who has had a rather diverse career that has ranged from the free funk of M-Base to standards à la Betty Carter, has in recent times adopted a folk-oriented style a little reminiscent of Nina Simone. On New Moon Daughter her repertoire ranges from U2 to Son House, from Hoagy Carmichael to Hank Williams ("I'm So Lonesome I ... see all copies from £3.02! new only from £7.01!
7	East/West (2005) more music like this by Bill Frisell The allusion of the title East/West is an apt one; this live double-CD set is a study in contrasts. Recorded just six months apart with two different trios, Bill Frisell really shows both sides of his musical personality. The "East" disc was recorded in December of 2003 at the Village Vanguard with Frisell on guitar (acoustic and electric) and ... see all copies from £10.91! new only from £10.91!
8	Nightmoves (2007) more music like this by Kurt Elling When Kurt Elling issued Man in the Air on the Blue Note label in 2003, it showcased his expansive, dream-weaving stage persona, though the album was recorded in the studio. Nightmoves arrives at a time when Elling has left Blue Note for the hopefully greener pastures of the Concord kingdom, and has been both directing and hosting festivals while ... see all copies from £7.13! new only from £7.23!
9	Miles Ahead (1957) more music like this by Miles Davis This album is perhaps most significant for the process it set in motion -- the collaboration between Gil Evans and Miles Davis that would produce Porgy and Bess and Sketches of Spain, two of Davis' best albums. That said, this album is a miracle in itself, the result of a big gamble on the part of Columbia Records, who put together Evans and Davis ... see all copies from £6.01! new only from £7.16!
10	Interstellar Space (1967) more music like this by John Coltrane Not released for the first time until 1974 but now available in expanded form as a CD, this set of duets by tenor saxophonist John Coltrane and drummer Rashied Ali are full of fire, emotion and constant abstract invention. The original four pieces ("Mars," "Venus," "Jupiter" and "Saturn") are joined by "Leo" and "Jupiter Variation." Coltrane ... see all copies from £5.72! new only from £5.72!
11 view cover	Unspeakable (2004) more music like this by Bill Frisell With the exception of 2003's Intercontinentals, Bill Frisell had been playing it pretty safe for some time, sticking to his own personal vision of variations on the Americana theme (with nearly all of those albums being produced by Lee Townsend, by the way). Well, a change of producers often means a change of pace, and teaming up with eclectic ... see all copies from £10.34! new only from £10.34!
12 view cover	The Complete Last Concert (1974) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet At the time, this two-record set was viewed as the end of an era. Now it only represents the climax of phase one. It's an excellent set, though -- among their best live efforts. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from £16.46! new only from £16.46!
13 view cover	A Merry Christmas! (2003) more music like this by Stan Kenton When bandleader Stan Kenton was approached to record an album of holiday music in 1961 he agreed, on one condition -- no songs about singing snowmen or flying reindeer. The resulting album, A Merry Christmas, is a polyphonic masterpiece that is at once progressive and traditional. Included are such well-known classics as "O Tannenbaum" and "The ... see all copies from £2.19! new only from £7.15!
14 view cover	Django (1953) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet Hailing from a trio of Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) sessions, Django (1955) contains some of the earliest sides that Milt Jackson (vibraphone), John Lewis (piano), Percy Heath (bass) and Kenny Clarke (drums) recorded for Prestige Records. Initially, the combo was part of Dizzy Gillespie's influential backing band and after a change in drummers (to ... see all copies from £4.54! new only from £4.54!
15 view cover	Cornell 1964 (2007) more music like this by Charles Mingus Sextet with Eric Dolphy In 2005, Blue Note raised the eyebrows (and expectations) of the jazz world by issuing the previously unreleased Thelonious Monk/John Coltrane Carnegie Hall concert from November of 1957 that literally replaces the few other recordings of the group both sonically and musically. In 2007, courtesy of Charles Mingus' widow Sue, with the help of ... see all copies from £8.70! new only from £8.70!
16 view cover	Unit Structures (1966) more music like this by Cecil Taylor After several years off records, pianist Cecil Taylor finally had an opportunity to document his music of the mid-'60s on two Blue Note albums (the other one was Conquistador). Taylor's high-energy atonalism fit in well with the free jazz of the period but he was actually leading the way rather than being part of a movement. In fact, this septet ... see all copies from £7.01! new only from £7.01!
17 view cover	The Sad Machinery of Spring (2007) more music like this by Tin Hat For its fifth album, the former Tin Hat Trio is minus one founding member, accordionist Rob Burger, but takes in three new musicians: harpist Zeena Parkins (who has recorded with the group before), clarinetist Ben Goldberg (who has recorded several jazz and klezmer albums under his own name) and multi-instrumentalist Ara Anderson, who contributes ... see all copies from £9.29! new only from £9.29!
18 view cover	No Sun in Venice (1957) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet This recording has six John Lewis compositions that were used in the French film No Sun in Venice. The music is quite complex and disciplined, making this set of lesser interest to fans who prefer to hear Milt Jackson playing bebop-oriented blues. However the versatile group was perfect for this type of music and these thought-provoking ... see all copies from £7.00! new only from £7.00!
19 view cover	The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (1963) more music like this by Charles Mingus The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is one of the greatest achievements in orchestration by any composer in jazz history. Charles Mingus consciously designed the six-part ballet as his magnum opus, and -- implied in his famous inclusion of liner notes by his psychologist -- it's as much an examination of his own tortured psyche as it is a ... see all copies from £5.53! new only from £5.53!
20 view cover	Art Metal (2007) more music like this by Jonas Hellborg see all copies from £8.93! new only from £8.93!
21 view cover	Modern Jazz Quartet: 1957 (2002) more music like this by The Modern Jazz Quartet see all copies from £5.49! new only from £5.49!
22 view cover	Solo Concerts: Bremen and Lausanne (1973) more music like this by Keith Jarrett These are the recordings that made Keith Jarrett famous. Originally released as a three-LP set, the two solo piano recitals feature Jarrett freely improvising and never seeming to run out of ideas. A simple figure often develops through repetition and subtle variations into a rather complex sequence and eventually evolves into a new figure. One of ... see all copies from £18.25! new only from £18.25!
23 view cover	Holy Ghost: Rare & Unissued Recordings (1962-70) (2004) more music like this by Albert Ayler After listening to Revenant's massive Albert Ayler box set, Holy Ghost: Rare & Unissued Recordings (1962-70), a pair of questions assert themselves in the uneasily settling silence that follows: who was Albert Ayler, and how did he come to be? At the time of this box set's release 26 years after the Cleveland native's mysterious death -- his ... see all copies from £45.68! new only from £45.68!
24 view cover	Satie: Gymnopédies Gnossiennes (1998) more music like this by Jacques Loussier Trio see all copies from £10.31! new only from £10.31!
25 view cover	Le Voyage de Sahar (2006) more music like this by Anouar Brahem Over the past 15 years, Tunisian oud master Anouar Brahem has assembled a relatively small but profound body of work. A skilled improviser who refuses to be part of the historical authenticity argument, Brahem works from the same trio setting that performed on Le Pas du Chat Noir in 2002, with pianist François Couturier and accordionist Jean-Louis ... see all copies from £9.86! new only from £9.86!
