Thank you! The Mancini record is spectacular.
Thank you very much for watching my video 😊 ✌️
Loving that ideas!! Perfect way to check out titles that should be in my collection. Thanks!!!
Thank you very much ✌️
Great selection for your top five. I own four of them. And I also own three of your honorable mention albums. Great JAZZ my friend!!
all your choices are first rate. I would add Thelonious Monk Alone in San Francisco absolutely sublime solo piano
Really good list Kenny.
My list is
1: Kind Of Blue ( Miles)
2: Ah Um (Mingus)
3: Byrd In Hand ( Donald Byrd)
4: Blue Soul ( Blue Mitchell)
5: Ben Webster and associates
I love all your Jazz shows, please keep it up thanks for all your work Kenny ! !
I appreciate that, thank you very much 😊
Thank you.
I like that Beatle poster in the background that I searched ebay and bought it.
Cool....that is a nice Beatles poster 👌 ✌️
Dang.....look at you with the COOL glasses, look hip and smart! Nice change-up, Kenny! As always, like that man in the white-T treating us to some cool jazz vinyl & interests. Thanks, man!
Lol 😊 😁....thank you too 😊✌️
My birth year! Just discovered your channel - very cool, Kenny.
Para quem gosta de boa musica, especialmente de jazz, é de fundamental importância escutar e apreender com os ensinamentos do Kenny. Tenha uma ótima semana. Zenon (from Brasil)
Thanks Kenny. I really enjoyed watching this video. Hope you do other years of Jazz.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that 😊✌️
I always watch when you talk about jazz. I learn so much. Thanks!!!!
I appreciate that, thank you very much 😊 ✌️
Thanks for running with the idea. It will help when you scour your collection. Do keep back of the years.
Thank you very much for the idea 😊 ✌️
Hi Kenny, I just started watching this video, but I had to first comment on your soundtrack LP of Legrand’s UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG! That same record was a staple in my collection for years and years when I was young! Good going, and thank you!
That is a magnificent album...thanks for noticing it 👌 👏 😊
Great list, Kenny.
Mine goes like this:
1. The Shape of Jazz to Come (Ornette Coleman)
2. Moanin' (Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers)
3. Everybody Digs Bill Evans (Bill Evans Trio)
4. Kelly Blue (Wynton Kelly)
5. Mingus Ah Um (Charles Mingus)
Honorable mentions:
- Kind of Blue (Miles Davis)
- Chet (Chet Baker)
- Time Out (Dave Brubeck)
- The Sermon! (Jimmy Smith)
- The Cats (Tommy Flanagan, John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell, etc.)
Solid tip 5 and honorable mentions list 👌 👏...thank you very much for taking the time to post your lists 😊✌️
Henry Mancini now you are speaking my language Kenny!! Would love to hear more reviews of Italian movie records they tend to be very Jazzy. I recommend Stelvio Ciaprani and Piero Picconi. I promise Kenny you are in for a treat. Hope you are having a Great sunday btw
Thank you very much for your recommendations and I hope that you are having a great Sunday as well
I loved Don Cherry. I just picked up a CD of his called "Summer House Sessions". A bit out there, but cool.
Ah um I just picked up and it is now one of my top favorites
I'm glad that you are enjoying that great album 😊
Nice list Kenny were not too far apart.
1) Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers ~ Moanin'
2)Miles Davis ~ Kind Of Blue
3)Ornette Coleman ~ The Shape Of Jazz To Come
4)Art Pepper ~ + Eleven
5)Charles Mingus ~ Mingus Ah Um
The Art Pepper album is a great choice 👌 👏
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!
Thank you very much...perhaps I will turn your question into a video at some point down the line 😊
Hi Kenny I don't have a top five but I have a top 3. Mine would be. 1. Horace Silver Blowin The Blues Away 2. Art Blakey Moanin 3. Ella Fitzgerald Sings George & Ira Gershwin Song book.
Great idea! Keep it going!
Thank you 😊
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.
I hope that you enjoy that great Mingus album when it arrives. Thank you very much for your kind comments 😀 😊 ✌️
@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews I got it and it was great! I'm going to ask some friends if they have the Mofi One Step for an A/B comparison.
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.
I just listened to Dianne Reeves version on RUclips and it's great 👍 👌 🎶
Brother Kenny, awesome album from Henry Mancini, "Music from Peter Gunn!" Have Frankie Ortega Trio playing awesome music for the black and white tv show, 77 Sunset Strip! (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 appreciate you, thank you very much for your suggestion 😊 ✌️
Please keep it going!
Thank you very much for the encouragement 😊
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👍
Joe Morello was great 👏 👍 🥁 ...thank you very much for giving him a mention
Great new series. Please do 1961.
Thank you very much 😊
I only have five records from 1959, but I will be getting some more after seeing this video I guess. Especially Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. I have their "Sing Along With Basie" from 1958 and that really swings 🙂
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..
Thank you very much for your suggestion and comments 😊 ✌️
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.
Thank you very much...The Art Blakey album is great 👍 👌
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 very much for the Sun Ra album recommendation 😊 ✌️

Henry Mancini ❤ saudo desde brasil
Thank you very much my friend for watching from Brasil 😊 ✌️
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
Thank you very much for posting your Peter Gun mono video 😊
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.
I'm not sure it some of the musicians from that era explained why that was a great period for jazz...its definitely worth looking into for sure 👌
This is my favorite era as well
Complimenti bel video, prossimi "top 5" di che anno?
Thank you very much...I have not decided the year of the next video in this series yet. Thank you very much for watching my video 😊 ✌️.
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!
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 😊 ✌️
