All good picks. I'll post a few.
No idea why this doesn't get as much recognition as A Love Supreme, it's basically the sequel to it.
I literally have to limit my listens of it so that I don't ruin it
/mu/ never talks about jazz
thanks for this thread; I'm still working through the essentials but I'll post some I think go unrecognized

I see this one a lot on here. That being said, it's probably time I check it out. I feel like I need to listen to more John first though.

i'll try this, i have soft spot for blue note albums

I rec this one to anyone who likes Dialogue.
/r/ing warm jazz records
>>64671842
Best album of 2015 coming through
Also this. Miles Davis gets talked about all the time, but I never ever see this particular album posted despite being GOAT.

I find Evans' playing to be particularly warm; this is one of my favorites (sunday at the village vanguard and waltz for debby also fantastic)
>>64673298
please help me get into jazz /mu/. any songs that will serenade me with sweet stories that help paint the atmosphere of the music?

Probably because it's the weakest from his fusion era

FdK might actually be one of my favorite Miles albums. For some reason I really love the fusion of electric guitar + piano while still just being post-bop

>Round Midnight (Ella Fitzgerald)

>Lush Life (Sarah Vaughn)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS6d3DJqsm0
>This Bitter Earth (Dinah Washington)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=judyCgN2daA
>Autumn Leaves
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CUEl0TLem0
Even though they all sound kinda campy now, the context from back then kinda matters. That being said, the classic instrumental renditions done by later jazz greats are really worth checking out, and imo enhanced after listening to and reading the lyrics.

>Lush Life (John Coltrane)

>Autumn Leaves (Cannonball Adderley)

There are hundreds of more standards. You could binge on them all day.
Anyway, I suggest learning to play as much as you can, even if it's very little. It really opens you up and makes it more enjoyable.
Some more general tips:
>familiarize yourself with names; notice who's playing on every album you listen to, and if you like them, check out their respective bodies of work
>get a Real Book or a Fake Book after you've explored jazz for a while
>play and learn as many instruments as you can get your hands on, even if you don't own them
have fun anon
