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 £2.78! new only from £6.50!
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 £2.93! new only from £4.53!
3	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 £2.94! new only from £6.95!
4	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 £4.77! new only from £8.70!
5	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 £7.60! new only from £7.60!
6	Milestones (1958) more music like this by Miles Davis What is immediately noticeable upon listening to this delicately and superbly remastered version of Miles Davis classic first -- and only -- album with his original sextet is how deep the blues presence is on it. Though it is true that the album's title cut is rightfully credited with introducing modalism into jazz, and defining Davis' music for ... see all copies from £4.01! new only from £7.39!
7	The Very Best of John Coltrane [Rhino] (2000) more music like this by John Coltrane Released in 2000, The Very Best of John Coltrane is hardly the first best-of collection by the seminal saxophonist, and you can bet certain that it won't be the last. Focusing on 'Trane's influential Atlantic output of the late '50s and early '60s, this CD shouldn't be confused with previous Best of John Coltrane collections from Pablo/Fantasy ... see all copies from £4.17! new only from £6.95!
8	Karma (1969) more music like this by Pharoah Sanders Pharoah Sanders' third album as a leader is the one that defines him as a musician to the present day. After the death of Coltrane, while there were many seeking to make a spiritual music that encompassed his ideas and yearnings while moving forward, no one came up with the goods until Sanders on this 1969 date. There are only two tracks on Karma, ... see all copies from £4.84! new only from £8.45!
9	Miles Smiles (1966) more music like this by Miles Davis With their second album, Miles Smiles, the second Miles Davis Quintet really began to hit their stride, delving deeper into the more adventurous, exploratory side of their signature sound. This is clear as soon as "Orbits" comes crashing out the gate, but it's not just the fast, manic material that has an edge -- slower, quieter numbers are ... see all copies from £4.16! new only from £7.48!
10	Speak No Evil (1964) more music like this by Wayne Shorter On his third date for Blue Note within a year, Wayne Shorter changed the bands that played on both Night Dreamer and Juju and came up with not only another winner, but also managed to give critics and jazz fans a different look at him as a saxophonist. Because of his previous associations with McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, and Reggie Workman on those ... see all copies from £3.16! new only from £7.50!
11 view cover	The Best of Herbie Hancock: The Blue Note Years (1988) more music like this by Herbie Hancock Mirroring his onetime boss and mentor Miles Davis' own protean output, Herbie Hancock has explored hard bop, soul-jazz, fusion, funk-rock, soundtracks, hip-hop-inflected pop ("Rockit"), and many permutations in between. His early work for Blue Note, though, offers the best entrée for newcomers. Compiled from five of his albums for the label and ... see all copies from £5.91! new only from £8.37!
12 view cover	The Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall (1963) more music like this by Dave Brubeck For all those who have a big axe to grind with Brubeck, for all those who claim the band was only successful because they were predominantly white, or played pop-jazz, or catered to the exotica craze, or any of that, you are invited to have all of your preconceptions, tepid arguments, and false impressions hopelessly torn to shreds by the CD debut ... see all copies from £10.43! new only from £16.70!
13 view cover	Waltz for Debby [Bonus Tracks #2] (1990) more music like this by Bill Evans Recorded at the Village Vanguard in 1961, shortly before Scott LaFaro's death, Waltz for Debby is the second album issued from that historic session, and the final one from that legendary trio that also contained drummer Paul Motian. While the Sunday at the Village Vanguard album focused on material where LaFaro soloed prominently, Waltz for Debby ... see all copies from £8.08! new only from £8.08!
14 view cover	The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings, 1961 (2005) more music like this by Bill Evans The music recorded by Bill Evans on June 25, 1961, has long since acquired legendary status. Evans, a brilliant pianist whose unique voicings have influenced over a generation of jazz pianists who have followed him, weaves one masterpiece after another with bassist Scott LaFaro (a promising composer and phenomenal bassist) and the equally valuable ... see all copies from £17.63! new only from £17.63!
15 view cover	The Complete Columbia Recordings: Miles Davis & John Coltrane [2004 Reissue] (1955) more music like this by Miles Davis/John Coltrane As the fourth (fifth, if you count the Complete Live at the Plugged Nickel) entry in Columbia's celebrated series of Miles Davis box sets, The Complete Columbia Recordings: Miles Davis & John Coltrane was perhaps the most anticipated set, and it's easy to see why. The push and pull between Miles and Coltrane resulted in dynamic recordings that set ... see all copies from £28.47! new only from £43.10!
16 view cover	Live at the Lighthouse [Blue Note] (1970) more music like this by Lee Morgan This three-CD set from Blue Note expands trumpeter Lee Morgan's original two-LP set from four selections to 12. Morgan's music had become much more modal by this time, heavily influenced by John Coltrane, although some of the previously unissued numbers (including a remake of his popular "The Sidewinder") are a bit more straight-ahead. Bennie ... see all copies from £24.67! new only from £24.67!
17 view cover	Undercurrent [Expanded] (2002) more music like this by Bill Evans/Jim Hall Undercurrent has long been considered one of the classic piano/guitar duo sessions, pairing Bill Evans with Jim Hall. These studio dates were a jump start for Evans' career, which he had placed on hold after the unexpected death of his bassist, Scott LaFaro, a few days following their historic Village Vanguard recordings were made. First reissued ... see all copies from £8.86! new only from £8.86!
18 view cover	The Best of Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists In conjunction with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns' ten-part 2000 PBS special, Columbia/Legacy and Verve teamed up to issue a special series of reissues covering much of the history of 20th century jazz. The central release of this program was the five-CD box set Ken Burns Jazz: The Story of America's Music, which was augmented by no less than 22 ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £5.78!
19 view cover	Interplay (1962) more music like this by Bill Evans Although pianist Bill Evans had been recording as a leader steadily since 1959 (with one date in 1956), it wasn't until this 1962 session -- one of his first after returning to active playing a year after bassist Scott LaFaro's tragic death -- that he introduced a horn. Evans is featured with trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, guitarist Jim Hall, bassist ... see all copies from £5.93! new only from £5.93!
20 view cover	Sunday at the Village Vanguard [1992 Bonus Tracks] (1992) more music like this by Bill Evans Trio Sunday at the Village Vanguard is the initial volume of a mammoth recording session by the Bill Evans Trio, from June 25, 1961 at New York's Village Vanguard documenting Evans' first trio with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. Its companion volume is Waltz for Debby. This trio is still widely regarded as his finest, largely because of ... see all copies from £7.60! new only from £7.60!
21 view cover	Explorations (1961) more music like this by Bill Evans Trio When this album was recorded in February of 1961, it had been more than year since the Portrait in Jazz was issued, the disc that won the critics over. By the time of this issue, Evans had released four albums in six years, a pace unheard of during that time. Most musicians were issuing two, three, and even four records a year during the same era. ... see all copies from £7.60! new only from £7.60!
22 view cover	Jazz: Red, Hot and Cool (1954) more music like this by Dave Brubeck Recorded during three different stays at New York's Basin Street, Jazz: Red, Hot and Cool is making its first appearance in the U.S. on CD. It documents -- with the addition of two additional performances that were previously unissued -- the original Brubeck quartet in its final years. In 1956 Joe Morello would replace Joe Dodge, and in 1958 ... see all copies from £5.88! new only from £8.81!
23 view cover	Love Songs (1999) more music like this by Miles Davis Nine examples of Miles Davis caressing a ballad at a slow tempo are included on this 1999 CD, Love Songs. All of the music is easily available elsewhere, but it is interesting to hear the different approaches that the trumpeter could employ in sticking close to a lyrical melody. There are two numbers ("My Ship" and "I Loves You, Porgy") from Davis ... see all copies from £2.78! new only from £4.95!
24 view cover	Autumn Leaves [Jazz Hour] (1996) more music like this by Bill Evans see all copies from £4.53! new only from £4.53!
25 view cover	Time Remembered (1963) more music like this by Bill Evans Pianist Bill Evans' final project for the Riverside label resulted in eight songs released as Bill Evans Trio at Shelly's Manne-Hole. This set doubles the program by adding eight previously unreleased selections. Evans, who is in fine form playing in a trio with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Larry Bunker, often sounded more relaxed in concert ... see all copies from £6.27! new only from £8.55!
