    Great list, great year! In my opinion, 1959 was perhaps the best year for jazz albums. You give some evidence of that in your honorable mentions. Another question I would like to see you address is this one: what were the greatest years for jazz albums? Surely 1959 would be on the list, right? In your opinion, what other years were unusually strong? Thanks for the great content - keep up the good work!

    Thanks for another "edu-taining" video! After watching your video, I went right to Discogs and spent $45 on a 1971 VG+ pressing of "Mingus Ah-Um". I've had it on my wish list and streamed it a bunch of times but it's been on the back burner a long time (I got more serious into jazz in 2014). I figured ORG would reissue it again and I would splurge on the 45RPM version someday, but right now those are in the $200 range... And I'm off MoFi after "MoFiGate".. I've been happy with my early 70s Columbia reissues of Miles Davis so that's the one I went with.

    Many of my personal favourites there. Moanin', Porgy and Bess, Mingus Ah Um, etc. I love the production of those albums; the sound quality of Time Out and Kind of Blue for example.
    Henry Mancini - 'Peter Gunn'... that's a cool album/choice.
    I haven't heard, Abbey is Blue. I notice Afro Blue is on there. Dianne Reeves' version is superb, I don't know if you're familiar with it.

(1958-1964) Great list by the way! Original movie soundtracks, a top 10, would be supercool also! Peace and love as always my brother!

    I checked out a couple of your recommendations. The Miles Davis Porgy & Bess is the one that grabbed at me. You also mentioned drummers that you thought may have been some of the best. On my list of being one of the best would be Joe Morello. There's an awesome performance you can checkout called. Joe Morello (The Great Drum Solo) Podcast (Drummerworld). Enjoy👍

    5. Tommy Flanagan, John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell, Idrees Sulieman - The Cats
    4. Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson
    3. The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
    2. Louis Armstrong - Satchmo Plays King Oliver
    1. Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
    Keep up the good work, Kenny! 🥰

    If Moanin' was 1959 (I know first stereo release) then Somethin' Else is '59 as it is the same situation.. Mono in '58 Stereo in '59.. Good list..
    Suggested video would expand on this idea.. Top 5 Years for Jazz..

    I have that L,H &R on CD, also "Time Out;" in fact, I too have the Classic Records version. It's scary how good it sounds. I also have "Abbey is Blue," a reissue bought directly from Fantasy Records back when you could do that. Bought Blakey's "Moanin'" last fall, but haven't played it. I've had "Mingus Ah Um" for a while and don't remember what it sounds like. We have similar tastes, it seems. Finally, I have "Kind of Blue" as well, digitally mastered from the original analog tapes. Good stuff.

    I have three of your top five. Unfortunately Flora Purim’s vocals do not work for me, especially on the first Chick Corea one just entitled ‘Return to Forever. In fact I tried to imagine those first two albums without her vocals and then they worked a lot better for me. I love the electric piano sound from Chick Corea and prefer not to have it interrupted with vocals. ‘Romantic Warrior’ is my favourite Return to Forever album and the first three Al di Meola albums are really special, although non of those are 1973.

    My music teacher / mentor played out Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach - Freedom on Juneteeth.
    I can't choose a best year of jazz because I like everything from the late 20s to current!
    If i had to recommend an underrated jazz album from 1959 that deserves more recognization that you didnt mention it would be Sun Ra Arkestra - Jazz In Silhouette. It's before Sun Ra went far out and weird. It's extremely well recorded, tight and has some innovative ideas for a big band record. It sounds really good in mono too!

    Thank you Kenny for a great video! 1959 was certainly a high point for jazz and your suggestions are essential for anyone who wants to jump into the genre. I also agree that Peter Gunn should be considered a jazz album, but it’s bogged down by the terrible RCA stereo mix filled with excessive distortion and echo/reverb. The mono version was recorded separately from the stereo recording and is infinitely better. I recently made this video of a clean mono version. Play it loud and enjoy! ruclips.net/video/6d1Dyt6jl7c/видео.htmlsi=zeW4za-E5BwfhN6e

    I am a relative late-comer to serious jazz selectivity and the late fifties to early sixties seem to be the the best period. Have any of the musicians of the time or otherwise explained why? My own idea is that there was still in most of the musician's minds the assumption that someone might have the desire to dance to their music.

    You can’t have a top five without Time Out…sorry and I am one of the few that place this above Kind Of Blue. Just as you say though and I agree it’s all subjective. I stilI feel that Hugh Masekela’s Hope is one of the all-time great recordings ever and you still haven’t purchased it….your loss.😮 I still love your channel and I highly respect you!

    • @kennysaudiophilerecordreviews
      @kennysaudiophilerecordreviews  Месяц назад +2

      Yeah, I know that I have not purchased the Hugh Masekela album yet. Although it's on my long list as a audiophile album to purchase for sure, I am not high on the performance of the album at all (I listened to it Several times on youtube). It's good enough to purchase performance wise for sure no doubt but not a rush out and buy album based on the performance. Although it has a reputation as a audiophile album, I would give Hugh Masekelas performance a 7 at best based on my taste and the music I like to listened to. The combination of its reputation as a audiophile work of art combined with the performance being a 7 puts the album on my long list. If it did not have the reputation as a audiophile masterpiece, I probably would not purchase it at all if I'm being totally honest. I know that you are a trumpet player and you can hear and notice fine nuances from a trumpet performance much better than the average music lover (thus you can appreciate his performance on an elite level), but his performance from my perspective (especially from the song style selection perspective) is a 7 at best. That album will make its way in my collection at some point but it's not high on my list of it I'm being totally honest 😊 ✌️
