| 1. |  | Guitars (CD/DVD) by McCoy Tyner Price: $13.99 Customer Review:  I saw a review in an audio magazine, and bought it because of the good rating they gave it---It is a little too modern for me---I like straight ahead jazz, and I went through the bop era, but did not like it then either. If you like more modern jazz, you might like the CD----the DVD |

| 2. |  | River: The Joni Letters (with Bonus Tracks) - Amazon.com Exclusive by Herbie Hancock Price: $14.99 Customer Review:  Herbie Hancock takes classic Joni Mitchell tunes and makes them his own. Who knew that it would work so well? My favorite track is Court and Spark featuring Norah Jones on vocals. This is spell-binding. I heard this track on a plane, and immediately ordered the album. The rest of it is not quite as... |

| 3. |  | Mingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus Price: $5.99 Customer Review:  Classic Mingus. Recommended for jazz fans and those new to the genre. If you're starting a jazz collection, put this album high on the list. |

| 4. |  | A Love Supreme by John Coltrane Price: $10.99 Customer Review: I have a small but highly acclaimed jazz collection. This is the jewel, my favorite, only tied by kind of blue in quality. An essential, not for jazz lovers, but rather music lovers. |

| 5. |  | The Cole Porter Mix by Patricia Barber Price: $13.99 Customer Review: I thought 2006's "Mythologies" was one of the most creative "jazz" recordings ever, and one of the best c.d.'s of that year. When I heard that Ms. Barber was going from that Guggenheim-funded project to a c.d. of Cole Porter covers, I thought, "Huh?" But in a weird sort of way, it makes sense.... |

| 6. |  | The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett Price: $14.99 Customer Review: It's the best. My roommate from many years ago had the album. I had forgotten it until I read about the re-release recently in a review. If you want some peace and some beautiful piano jazz (sorta jazz?) Improv, buy this one. |

| 7. |  | Loverly by Cassandra Wilson Price: $14.99 Customer Review: Wouldn't it be? Wilson thinks so, as she inhales a Southern aire and blows a serious blues jones into the lungs of these somewhat shopworn mannequins, breathing heat back into their Broadway bones. "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" is a bittersweet treat. "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" blithely... |

| 8. |  | Verve Presents: Very Best of Christmas Jazz by Various Artists Price: $8.97 Customer Review: I recommend this to anyone that likes smooth jazz and wants mood music for Christmas gatherings. Combine this with other smooth jazz Christmas recordings and let them shuffle on your CD player and you are guaranteed to have a festive occassion. |

| 9. |  | Ken Burns's Jazz: The Story of American Music by Various Artists Price: $34.97 Customer Review: When I discussed the Ric Burns documentary about the old West with an Amerindian acquaintance, I complained that the film concentrated on the Lakota, to the exclusion of other peoples. My friend answered that, as the Lakota was the best known native American culture, that was a good place to start,... |

| 10. |  | The Very Best of John Coltrane by John Coltrane Price: $8.97 Customer Review: I have this CD in a Rhino release: same music, same cover photo, same "very best of" tagline, just not the "Greatest Hits" design. I think of John's time on Atlantic Records as his most interesting, and all the performances here are from 1959 and 1960. In the '50's, Coltrane was a more traditional... |

| 11. |  | Live by Brad Mehldau Trio Price: $14.99 Customer Review: I began with Largo and have not stopped... 2 CD's of scary chops and all of it LIVE ! |

| 12. |  | Jazz Icons: John Coltrane Live in '60, '61 & '65 from Jazz Icons Price: $16.99 Customer Review: This is the Coltrane live-performance DVD we've all been waiting for. Not only does it include the late saxophonist's famous 1961 German television appearance (in which the musicians play amidst a cool modernist steel-girder studio set), it also boasts ultra-rare footage of the Coltrane Quartet's... |

| 13. |  | January by Marcin Wasilewski Trio Price: $13.99 Customer Review: Beauty beyond description. When the world and humanity gets me down I put this on and feel better. For such a young group of musicians they have a great grasp on dynamics. Can't wait to hear what they come out with next. |

| 14. |  | Rabo de Nube from Ecm Records Price: $13.99 Customer Review: I saw Charles Lloyd with this quartet last year so it was a real pleasure to find a live recording. He has done so much over the years, from his ever-popular Forest Flower to his recent foray with Zakir Hussain on Sangam. I'm not quite sure what amazon means by "first live quartet album," as he has... |

| 15. |  | Bitches Brew by Miles Davis Price: $22.99 Customer Review: Bitches Brew was the last defining moment where (in my opinion) Miles had spontaneously changed the entire landscape of jazz at his whim. .. This album single-handedly started the jazz-fusion movement in the 70s. & that in my opinion is where jazz took a leap of faith and caught up with... |

| 16. |  | Cantando by Bobo Stenson Trio Price: $13.99 Customer Review: This is a gem of an album. If you thought the piano/bass/drums trio was an archival form, think again. Stenson, Jormin and Falt interact superbly, as equals, each making his own music. They weave their ideas together into a unique sound - sometimes lyrical, sometimes minimalist, sometimes... |

| 17. |  | My Favorite Things by John Coltrane Price: $10.99 Customer Review:  BEWARE; this offering is deceptive. I'm sure Amazon isn't attempting to mislead people, but the fact is all these glowing reviews you are reading ARE NOT FOR THIS ALBUM. They are for the original Atlantic Records album, called "My Favorite Things" which, except for the title cut. has completely... |

| 18. |  | Progressions: 100 Years of Jazz Guitar from Sony Price: $24.97 Customer Review: As my title says, I consider this box set an overview...all in good reason, though. As a guitarist myself that has never really known where to begin when dealing with Jazz guitar, this set which was actually a gift was the absolute perfect place to start. It is the greatest open-door into the Jazz... |

| 19. |  | Freak Out! by Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention Price: $10.99 Customer Review: The first Mother's album was a huge step outside the normal rock and roll of the mid sixties, introducing it's audience to the Psychodelic era. This album is historic if nothing else. The music is an early Frank Zappa with the current culture influence, it sounds nothing like the later Frank and has... |

| 20. |  | History, Mystery by Bill Frisell Price: $16.99 Customer Review: Overview: In History, Mystery Bill Frisell combines elements of the many different styles and genres he has dabbled with over the years into one cohesive story telling album. You can hear elements of Appalachia (ala The Willies), string orchestrations (ala Unspeakable), ambient soundscapes... |
