The Best Of Grand Funk is a 1993 compilation CD by Flint, Michigan rock trio Grand Funk, sometimes known as Grand Funk Railroad. This was a budget title released in Canada but some copies were made available in the rest of North American. This came out through Capitol Records' budget subsidiary label, CEMA Special Markets.

Remarkable particularly for the performances of extraordinary pianist Danilo Rea and Italy's best kept secret, trumpeter Flavio Boltro, this recording of highly varied tunes by Italian bassist Giovanni Tommaso plays well in the company of an extraordinary quintet. The music is smack-dab in the middle of adventurous modern mainstream. In other words, it doesn't break any new ground but it pushes up against traditional boundaries. The solid front line of Boltro and saxophonist Pietro Tonolo wails over one of the world's great rhythm sections: drummer Roberto Gatto, Tommaso, and Rea. Rea does it all, with a superhuman two-handed approach. Boltro is one of the sharpest hard boppers around, able to play almost anything on his trumpet. The closer, a strange operatic tribute to Billie Holiday sung by Italian vocalist Carla Marcotulli, comes right out of left field. ~ AllMusic Review by Steve Loewy

By the autumn of 1953, one of the most active years of playing Bud Powell ever had, he had completely replaced the rhythm section of his trio. Gone were drummer Roy Haynes and Oscar Pettiford – who had been replaced by Mingus for a few dates earlier in the spring – and between September 5 and September 9, he'd gone through two more bass players, the estimable George Duvivier, who appears on tracks one through five, and finally by Curly Russell, who appears on two separate broadcasts from the ninth and the 26th of September. Drummer Art Taylor was a steady and had joined the band in June. The first half of this disc reveals Powell's interest in Latin rhythms for bebop.

The Buddah Box is a 3CD box set compilation released by ESX in 1993. It honors the Buddah label and some of its more well known subsidiaries, including Kama Sutra, Sussex, Hot Wax and Sutra. It contains a nice exploration of their roots as pop and bubble gum music aficionados before they explored rock, gospel, soul, disco, and hip-hop by the time the labels closed shop in the early 1980's.

1964/1993 is a 3CD box set by Paul Simon. Released in 1993 and mastered with No Noise, this focuses on Simon's solo career but also touches on his roots with Simon & Garfunkel, including two songs when they were still Tom & Jerry. It features many of the hits between 1964 and 1993 plus choice album cuts. This was released on 28 September, 1993 by Warner Bros. Records.

Sour Grass is a 1993 EP by Tiger Trap, a female quartet from Sacramento, California. K Records made this happen for the power of twee rock.

Coleman Randolph Hawkins (November 21, 1904 – May 19, 1969), nicknamed "Hawk" and sometimes "Bean", was an American jazz tenor saxophonist. One of the first prominent jazz musicians on his instrument, as Joachim E. Berendt explained: "there were some tenor players before him, but the instrument was not an acknowledged jazz horn". Hawkins biographer John Chilton described the prevalent styles of tenor saxophone solos prior to Hawkins as "mooing" and "rubbery belches."

Carousel is the 1993 album by Leila El Khalifi, who goes by the name Leila K. THis was released by Urban Records via Polydor Germany.

For his third and final Columbia CD, young trumpeter Marlon Jordan (21 at the time) still sounded pretty derivative of inspiration Wynton Marsalis and Miles Davis. His hard bop quintet (which also includes tenor saxophonist Tim Warfield, the brilliant pianist Eric Reed, bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Troy Davis) is heard performing six of the trumpeter's originals, plus John Coltrane's "Village Blues," with spirit and swing, although not many original ideas. Jordan was one of the youngest of the Young Lions but, even in the late 1990s, he has still plenty of unrealized potential. A good but not essential outing. ~ AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow
