I want the standards, the top ten, the diamonds that will be remembered in a hundred years.
I don't want your subjective personal favorite.
I don't want that one obscure album that noone has heard about but is really great.
I want the big 'uns.
Starting with number one.

Mingus Ah Um

Speak No Evil
Chet

It does seem like Ah Um will be the canonical Mingus album, even though most of the tracks are found in better versions elsewhere.

>what is Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
>>61555646
Outside of /mu/, Ah Um is more popular.
Black Saint is Scaruffi's favourite so /mu/ knows it more.
Charlie Parker with Strings
Count Basie / Duke Ellington anything
Birth of the Cool- Miles Davis
Milestones - Miles Davis
Davis - Sketches of Spain

I've yet to hear a better version of Better Get It in Your Soul than the one on Ah Um. Maybe it's because it kicks off the album though.
