>>60907461

Thelonious Monk At The Five Spot

>>60907461

>>60907161
I'm quite fond of Kenny G's "Breathless".
Really underrated imo. Any recs similar to this?
Not as familiar with jazz as I'd like to be. But I do like me this album.
>>60907461
Ryo Fukui is the shit
>>60908639
I listen to this album a lot lately. Listen to pic related if you like it
I suppose this is really entry-level but fuck it it's fantastic
I know it's "THE" biggest album ever but I just can't get enough.
No matter how much music I listen to, I can always come back and enjoy.
>>60909143
I'll check it out, thanks
>>60907161
I swear to fucking god if one more person posts this fucking overrated piece of shit one more time I'm going to lose my mind.

Freddie Hubbard is such a good trumpet player.

With jazz it's all mostly pretty good so you cant go wrong with those.
Oh cool a thread where everybody just posts pictures of random jazz albums as though they were trading cards. What a worthwhile thread.
>>60908900
this ones a real treat
Norwegian wood is great
and so is the beat goes on, where his daughter sings
personally though, my vote goes to paul chambers 'bass on top' or ahmad jamal 'count em 88'
>>60910111
#1, bill evans is based
>>60910111

Early Hancock is so nice
>>60910345
Favorite Coltrane, Wish he did more on the soprano
>>60910984

>>60914161
Classic Bossa Nova Sound
>>60909495
I consider this more funk than Jazz but still amazing album
>>60907545

Thanks. Would rec Big Fun by Miles which is similar to these projects as well.
jazz is objectively at its best live
>>60910145
I actually think his the best. He just has everything. Such a beautiful tone combined with his ability to fit in with pretty much every group and every Jazz genre. He is so goddamn versitile! can just play pretty much anything and just excel on it. Compare him to someone like Lee Morgan, that while having good tone and always bringing a lot of energy, he pretty much always plays the same stuff. For me Freddie Hubbard is the best trumpet player.
This has been my favorite as of late.
Oriental folk song is so incredibly beautiful.
And Armageddon is such an explosive ending.
Definitely not as refined as Speak no Evil or even JuJu, but still my favorite Wayne Shorter record.
I also love the shit out of all of the players. Elvin Jones is probably one of my favorite drummers. Not to mention Lee Morgan.
God damn.
Anyone care to rec some big band similar to pic related?

Some of my favorites as well.
>>60916210
Dizzy Gillespie - Live at Newport
Really fun and chill album with an awesome cheerful crowd. Just good vibes all around filled with humor. Has a lot of Dizzy's introduction that add a lot to the lightness of the album. Also features the 18 Lee Morgan.
My favorite tracks are Manteca and Doodlin.
This was my first jazz album and i still like it a lot, but i don't listen to jazz very much tho
>>60916238
Cheers! I'll check it out
>>60916210
Listen to Breakfast Dance and Barbecue. Basie is much better live, and on that record he is fantastic.
My favorite. Don't know why I've never seen it mentioned here :/
>>60910111
>>60908639
I like everything in this thread but I fuck heavily with these two albums on the regular
Also pic is legendary status
>>60910111
this so much
This is the GOAT no one knows
I was getting lessons once at a music shop when this talkitive old man starts talking about jazz with me. I was an 8th grader and no fucking 8th grader knows what jazz is so I just went with whatever he said. I was in middle school jazz band so I kinda had an idea but not really. "have you heard of Dave Brubeck?" we continue talking and he decided to buy me a DB CD. Gets it. Likes what I hear (Dave Brubeck Love Songs) never sees the man again.
I now own so much jazz, it's weird to think something so random could affect my life so dramatically.
>>60907777
>In A Silent Way
God-tier jazz album.
l really really really like this album
>>60914482
>Pre cursor to the clearly superior Black Saint
This. Ah Um is a great album, but Black Saint is one of the GOAT albums.
>>60918798
Fantastic album, though I wouldn't say it's one of the best all time, it's definitely one of my favourite modern jazz albums. You excited for their new album in February?
>>60915618
I would mostly agree. There are some great studio albums here and there, but most of the time live albums are more interesting. Pic related is amazing.

these
also, check out Voice and Another Mind from Hiromi Uehara, Invisible Cinema by Aaron Parks and Beyond Words by Bobby McFerrin, some great modern stuff
>>60919842
I haven't pre-ordered the new album yet, but I'm moderately excited, mostly because I've got other recently received music that I'm hyped about. Discovering new music all the time has it's downsides, like limited funds for buying CDs. Another Gondwana-related release I'm expecting is the second Mammal Hands album, which is also slated for release early next year.
