1.Verve Presents: The Very Best of Christmas Jazz by: Various Artists November 05, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.98 You Save: £3.01 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.50
This is my favourite Christmas CD, it has something for everyone! It's the perfect antidote for the tired old tunes that everyone plays at Christmas (if I hear "I wish it could be Christmas every day" one more time I won't be responsible for my actions), the highlights being "Zat you Santa Claus?" by Louis Armstrong and "Silent Night" by Dinah Washington. Give it a go and you won't be disappointed, especially at this price!!

2.Christmas Songs by: Diana Krall The Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra November 14, 2005

Diana Krall offers you an incredible revamp of some of the most famous Christmas classics with her lovingly young voice and the nice band that accompanies her will give you everything you need to spend a great Christmas :)

3.Getz/Gilberto Vol.1: Remastered by: Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim May 25, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.99 You Save: £2.00 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.28
Antonio Carlos Jobim goes down with Lennon/McCartney, Gershwin, Amstrong as one of the most influential songwriter/stylists of the 20th century. To judge the album on its own merits is one thing. Getz turns in small but perfectly formed solos. Astrid Gilberto's voice is ravishing, complementing husband Joao's voice with that incredibly restrained vulnerability that is the essence of Bossa. It is an album of incredible tenderness and instrospection. The studio atmosphere is very intimate with an almost homespun quality. For me its a five star album in its own right. However, this album has a far larger significance, in the way that Sargeant Pepper did. It changed everything and set off ripples that are still reverberating ... Read More:

4.Night Train by: Oscar Peterson Trio April 07, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.99 You Save: £2.00 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.94
Having grown up with the popular music of the 60s, 70s, 80s etc and loved music from Classical to Heavy Metal but not Jazz. In the past two years I have been introduced to Oscar Peterson and I could almost throw all other genres away after living with this album for the last six months. This is absolute total musical perfection and an awesome early 60s recording. Looking forward to getting to know other albums.

5.Two Men With The Blues by: Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis July 07, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.98 You Save: £5.01 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.97
I bet this was a fantastic live show - shame it sounds so flat on the CD! Unlike the other reviewer I came to this recording as a fan of Willie Nelson. I think Willie sounds pretty good on the whole - I just wish there was a bit more of him! His regular harmonica buddy, Mickey Raphael, is the real star of the show for me - his soloes shine above everyone else! The first two tracks, "Bright Lights, Big City", and Willie's own "Night Life", are the highlights for me. The lowest points being the two tracks associated with Hank Williams ("My Bucket's Got a Hole in It" and "Nobody's Business"), which, for me, don't seem to work in this jazz setting. All in all, it's not a terrible album but certainly not one that will much play ... Read More:

6.Bossa Nova - Jazz Masters 53 by: Stan Getz April 08, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.98 You Save: £3.01 (43%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.97
This music album was made in 1963 and it's totally timeless and as fresh in 2008 as when it was first made. I'm 43 and my dad is 70. My 8 year old son and all of us can't get enough of this. Getz's Chega De Saudade (One note samba) is totally the best jazz funk ever and all the other melodies are totally gold as well. You can buy this for yourslef or as a gift for a friend and it's totally priceless - worth a 100 times it's weight in gold. Enjoy!!!!

7.The Black Box Of Jazz by: Various Artists March 18, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £11.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £3.01 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.83
This very moderately priced box of extremely interesting and diverse jazz performances doesn't get 5 stars from me only because it is not sufficiently equipped with the recording information... Otherwise, it's a good buy indeed, with music mixing swing, cool, be-bop, hard-bop and other styles very freely, to suite the tastes of the more liberal jazz fans who love challenges.

8.In Europe: Live at the Antibes Jazz Festival by: Miles Davis April 04, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.98 You Save: £4.01 (57%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.97
This album recorded at the 1963 Antibes Jazz Festival with a band who'd been together for just a few weeks is a neglected classic. There is electrifying playing from the whole quintet which includes the vastly underrated tenorist George Coleman and the brilliant 17 year-old drummer Tony Williams who "lit a big fire under everyone in the group" according to Miles in his autobiography. Ralph J.Gleason has written that Miles was so delighted when he first heard this recording that he almost wore out the test pressings! This marvellous CD which includes a bonus track and has a remarkable playing time of over 80 minutes is an essential part of any Miles Davis collection.

9.People Time by: Stan Getz, Kenny Barron March 03, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.98 You Save: £6.01 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.97
Massively recommended. These were Getz's final recordings, three months before his death. A duo performance is never easy. The increased workload must have put tremendous strain on his health but you would never know from listening to this exquisite live double CD. Fourteen tracks, culled from four consecutive nights at the Cafe Montmartre in Copenhagen, show Getz at his most majestic. The wonderful Kenny Barron on piano shows complete empathy with Getz, and the interplay between them is perfect. This is exemplified by the ballad 'First Song'. It is a total masterpiece.

10.Concert By the Sea by: Erroll Garner March 12, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.47 You Save: £2.52 (28%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.00
Distinctive to the point of being instantly recognisable, that's Errol Garner, and here he is, caught in full flight at the very peak of his powers, and 'live' too. There have been many concert recordings succesfully transferred to disc, making one realise that it would have been a memorable treat to have been in the audience, and what we have here is no exception. Erroll was a natural, and supposedly couldn't read a note of music. When you can play like this, you dont need to. Anyone who wants just one of Erroll's recordings wont do better than this. Anyone alive out there, who was in the audience the night this was reccorded??
