Easy jazz piano?


I'm trying to learn jazz by ear but I'm finding it really difficult. I am awesome at transcribing the melody or solo lines. But whe it comes to the bass or chords I really struggle to pick any notes at all. What are some good piano based jazz albums which might be a little easier for me to transcribe by ear?

A number of "play along" recordings (see below) are available that are a lot of fun and are great way to learn easy jazz songs. You can listen and emulate the piano part, then turn down the piano part by adjusting the balance on your stereo and it's like you have your own pro combo in your living room. Have fun!

it might technically not be jazz but how about giving "baby grand" by ray charles and billy joel a shot?

You have to learn from this.....

Red Garland Trio on Prestige records. There are at least 5 albums from the 1950's that might work for you. I like Red Garland's Piano and All Kinds of Weather
