Was lucky enough to see Coltrane, Mingus, Getz, McCoy, Don Cherry (with Old and New Dreams) and Sanders, once with Leon Thomas at the Village Vanguard and with Coltrane in 1966 in Madison, Wisconsin. Pretty impressive vinyl collection.
I was only six when you saw Coltrane live. How fortunate you were big Bro'! I got heavy into jazz in the early 80's. I'm a big fan of Coltrane too as well as the classic jazz artists, labels, engineers, producers and liner note writers and anybody who just digs jazz! Back in the early 2000's I was fortunate enough to see Dave Brubek at the art festival in Baltimore a few years before he passed on. Dave put on a great performance and he was a awesome human being! Until we see him and other greats who have left us, may The Lord keep him!
Helps to be an old MF. A few others I omitted are Dizzy (1st jazz musician ever saw at age 14 or so), Dexter Gordon, Mingus, Lee Morgan (at Slug's where eventually was shot and killed), Jackie McLean, Miles (who played with his back to the audience 75-80% of the time) , the original Weather Report lineup in 1971, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk-also recommend documentary about founders of Blue Note, Alfred Lion and Francis Woolf, "It Must Schwing"-, one of 2 documentaries about Blue Note released in 2018 (the other being Beyond the Notes which I have not seen)
One of the good things about being an old dude is you can look back at the greats you had a chance to see. When I discovered jazz at the age of 16 Coltrane had just died so I never had a chance to see him and that's one of my regrets. Still have an indelible memory of Monk at the Vanguard in 1970, not long before he stopped performing.
Great list here Kenny. And like you said, everybody probably has a different one. Sketches of Spain and Kind of Blue by Miles really spoke to me. Charlie Parker, Wes Montgomery, Hebie H, Chick Corea,...Man so many. Long live Jazz. I'm sitting here now listening to, the Last Concert by the Modern Jazz Quartet. Take care all of you Jazz fans.
Cheers from a fellow 62 year old! My dad is in his 90's and is all about jazz. My knowledge is nothing compared to him. I was just asking him about Kenny Dorham and he have me a breakdown.
Love your list and Karma is an album out of this world. When I first heard it i was like a new man, i could not sleep at night. My favorite John Coltrane album is Cresent Moon, love more the L.S. and Coleman's Shape of Jazz to Come is my favorite of his. Don Carry amazing. I'ma check this fly with the wind. Probably I'm Sleeping on it. ❤❤
Discovering Mingus was huge for me. Ah hum is truly amazing. Many of the tracks still to this day are incredibly challenging to play for top notch musicians, and that refers to playing every instrument, in the original time signature, together. Another album rarely mentioned that I found is money jungle. Mingus playing with Duke Ellington and Max Roach. Something about that record gives me the chills everytime it's been a bit since putting it on.
Great to see choices here that are not just the obvious classics or records that are being pushed by reissue labels, your love of the music comes across loud and clear! Sending you all the best from Dublin Ireland!
Nice list. Don Cherry, so many great albums. The man was not afraid of exploration, The artists of AACM out of Chicago, I've been listening to for years. Oh so many great players. They will take you to places through composition and improv that you would have never expected to go. Too many to name here, all different. Wadada Leo Smith's solo trumpet album Red Sulphur Sky should not be missed. A top ten list filled only with ACCM artists would still be a great list. Creative music at its best.
A wonderful list Some of my favorites (began listening 1948). Ahmad Jamal At the Pershing. Relaxing with .Miles .... Chet Baker in Japan ..... Getz in Stockholm .... Jazz Impressions of USA by Dave Brubeck ..... Chico Hamilton Modern Jazz (with Cello ) ..... Charlie Parker - Dial Recordings .... Bill Evans / Cannonball recording ... Gerry Mulligan Paris Concert and June Christy Something Cool.
Im blessed to have some of those selections in my collection...I like that you mentioned June Christy, great singerv😊..thank you very much for watching my video 😊
Same age as you sir. Lucky to have older brothers too. One of them gave me Phil Woods (Warm Woods) when I was about 14 years old. It is still my favorite.
What a great list! I love it when I can tell that I share taste with someone from picks that I know well and then they introduce me to records I wouldn't have found otherwise. Thanks!
Recently started my jazz listening journey, I've been listening to pretty much nothing else now for a month haha. I'm thoroughly enjoying the journey. I never had (or have) people like your brothers who are into jazz, so I have to figure it out by myself. I'm glad to have stumbled upon your video, some of these classics I already know, but I absolutely love McCoy Tyners Fly With The Wind, never heard about him before or this record before. It sounds amazing. Thanks so much for these reccommendations! Looks like you got a splendid record collection. God bless from the Netherlands.
Thank you very much for taking the time to watch my video and post your comments. I am glad that you are enjoying Mccoy Tyners Fly With The Wind as it's a great jazz song. Thank you very much for viewing from the Netherlands and God bless ✌️
It's very refreshing to see somebody discussing jazz and talking about their favorite jazz albums . I have a ton of jazz albums at home and my very favorites would have to be early Louis Armstrong or cab calloway or Django Reinhardt. If you want to call that jazz. In my mind it is. Also anything by Artie Shaw because he was a genius on the clarinet. Also anything by Duke Ellington or count Basie with Joe Williams on vocal. 🙏
I really dig your Beatles poster to your right. It’s the American albums. Super cool. I recently found a good original pressing of Getz/Gilberto. Great video Still looking for a good copy of Porgy and Bess. So awesome.
Great list. I knew "Kind of Blue" and "A Love Supreme" had to be on the list. "Koln Concert" is a masterpiece. One album I wish more people knew about is "The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album" from 1975. It's just Tony's vocals and Bill's piano. "Waltz for Debby", "Some Other Time" and "Days of Wine & Roses" are a few of the tracks. I've been playing it regularly the last few days since Tony's death.
My comment was referring to the first Tony Bennett/Bill Evans collaboration in 1975. "The Bad & The Beautiful" is from the second collaboration in 1977. However, both recordings are masterpieces and should be in every jazz lover's collection.
Kenny, Great channel and I love your list. Below are a few that I really like and may not be on everyone’s list. Glass Bead Games - Clifford Jordan Money Jungle - Duke Ellington, Mingus, Max Ptah Dhoud- Alice Coltrane Speak No Evil - Wayne Shorter The Quest- Mal Waldron Vista- Marion Brown Sonny Sharrock - Ask The Ages Tyner- The Real McCoy Maiden Voyage - Herbie Hancock Basra- Pete Laroca New Africa- Grachan Moncur 111 Joe Henderson - Power To The People Archie Shepp - Faces Pharoah Sanders- Pharoah
I am familiar with about half of your selections...I'm going to have to check out the other half. If they are as great as the albums that I am familiar with, then I am sure that they are great. Thank you very much for listening some of your favorites 😊😁✌️
top ten time ! great list, great artists and some lesser known lps ! here's one (without the already mentioned ones) : Sonny Rollins What's new Max Roach We insist (w/ Abbey Lincoln) Albert Ayler New grass Hadouk Trio Live à Fip (some French vibes) Archie Shepp Blasé Dave Holland Conference of the birds (w/ Sam Rivers...) Art Pepper meets the rhythm section Dexter Gordon Go Rabih Abou Khalil Arabian Waltz Gato Barbieri Fenix
You have a great list but some I'm not familiar with so I will definitely check them out. Thank you very much for watching my video and taking the time to post your list, I really appreciate it ✌️
I'm soon gonna check all of those you mentioned that I haven't heard it, but my all-time favorite album (of every genre) has to be the black saint and the sinner lady, by charles mingus! Music was not the same for me after listening to this masterpiece. It is pure excitement from beginning to end.
Hi Kenny, i love your huge collection organization and all the masterpieces acquired . Thanks for sharing the knowledge you have about it. I would imagine that you're very passionate and spending big time to organise, research,process and obviously enjoy listening all that music. Regards from a music lover.
Super feature from a good man who knows Jazz I own six of the ten and will check out tge remainder From my side of tbe Atlantic........thank you Andy .....uk
Good list, good suggestions... I really like T. Monk, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Wes Montgomery and Bill Evans. "Jazz" music has transformed over the years and that's great, there are amazing female singers. Greetings Mantiqueiras, Peace and Love! Ah, John Coltrane, wow, great musician!
Honorable mentions: John Coltrane - The Olatunji Concert Charles Tolliver - Impact: Recorded Live at the Domicile John Coltrane - Giant Steps 10) Cecil Taylor - Music from Two Continents: Live at Jazz Jamboree '84 9) Electric Masada - At the Mountains of Madness 8) Max Roach Quartet - Live in Tokyo, Vol.1 7) Horace Tapscott - Ancestral Echoes: The Covina Sessions, 1976 6) Miles Davis - Kind of Blue 5) Miles Davis - In a Silent Way 4) Horace Tapscott - Octet Live 3) Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra - Live at Century City Playhouse 9/9/79 2) John Coltrane - A Love Supreme 1) Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
I absolutely adore Inner Voices; because I'm Brazilian it resonates so deeply with the essence of Bossa Nova. It's truly one of the best albums for me.
Nice choices guys here are my 10 ...1. kind of blue 2. take five 3.a love supreme 4.something else 5. maiden voyage 6. sidewinder 7. salt song 8. speak no evil 9. tequila 10. mr. shing-a-ling
The Koln concert was my dad's favourite jazz album and he would play it on record every Sunday. It's the reason why I studied piano. Thank you for your videos!
Sentimentally for me, when I was 16 I listened toLes McCann Swiss Movement, & Roland Kirk’s Rip, Rig, & Panic. I then branched out from there, a continuing education
Good stuff, i have about 400 blue note 💽 albums tucked away, here's a few of my favorites but love them all... Art Blakey& the Jazz Messengers Coltrane Hank Mobley Dexter Gordon Tina Brooks🎷 Lee Morgan Freddie Hubbard Gene Ammons (Jug) Miles Wayne Shorter......In no particular order!! "Jazz washes away the dust of everyday life", a quote by the late GREAT ART BLAKEY!!!👌
Great video. You have given me so much home work!!! Looking forward to listening to your list and those in the comments. I can tell you have lead us straight to the jackpot.
I only recently just got into jazz and I’ve been looking for more jazz songs with someone singing over it. I really love Betty Carter and looking for more songs like that. Great video, thanks for the recommendations.
In 1978 I was 18, and worked as a busboy in a restaurant that played jazz over their sound system. Fly With the Wind was one of the albums they regularly played. I loved it, so I went right out and bought the album. I have been a McCoy Tyner fan ever since. So glad you picked it as one of your favorites.
Passing the Cologne Opera house on my daily commute ✌🏻 where the Köln Concert was recorded. Greetings from Germany. My favorit jazz album is Miles Davis - in a silent way
You nailed it Kenny!....Trane, Miles, Pharoah front and center...can't go wrong...I'm going to check out that Don Cherry album too since he got Pharoah and Gato Barbieri with him.
Outstanding selections. I knew I was in the right place when you started with Don Cherry. But I've looked at so many top 10 jazz album lists. Almost all include Kind of Blue, for good reason, but I have not seen one that includes Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch. It's an all-star album, and Eric worked his butt off, writing great arrangements and rehearsing like crazy. It is the greatest jazz avant-garde album. Why does everyone leave it off their list? Herbie Hancock! Tony Williams! Bobby Hutcherson! Richard Davis! The rhythm section is out of this world! Put it on your next list!
Keith Jarrett's "Koln Concert" is the best-selling solo album in jazz history and the best-selling piano album with sales of around 4 million sales. "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis is the best selling jazz album of all time with 5 million units certified sold.
@@nysaxman. You’re right, kind of blue is the best selling of all time, and Keith Jarrett is my most favorite pianist of all time, and his trio is my favorite trio ever.
I have nearly all of those and a couple other ones that I don’t have Ive streamed before - and they are all fantastic .. only one I’m really not familiar with is the pharaoh sanders LP, which I’m streaming right now and it’s pretty cool. The Stan Getz LP I’ve never heard either, but I plan to stream that one as well. The rest of your pics are all outstanding. The Keith Garrett double LP - I bought that one a few years ago after reading a bunch of reviews about it and it piqued my interest so I came across a copy and bought it. Great LP. This is why I really love watching these type RUclips channels- because every now and then I will learn about a new LP that I don’t have or one I’ve never heard before, as is the case of Pharoah Sanders and boom - found something new to love. :) Excellent video. :)
I love the Stan Getz "Focus" album with the beautiful blend of jazz and classic music. I especially like the song "Pan" on that albums. The Pharoah Sanders album provides a lot of musical jazz emotion that is powerful and great. I also like watching other youtubers top 10 videos because I always learn something new. Thank you very much for your comments ✌️
I didn't grow up with jazz but I'm enjoying it more as I get older. I'm still working my way through the 'classics' and learning. Appreciate the video and will check out the reccs! My favorite jazz album (so far) is Eastern Sounds by Yusef Lateef. I also love: Idle Moments - Grant Green Mingus Ah Um - Charles Mingus Kind of Blue - Miles Davis Monk's Dream - The Thelonious Monk Quartet First Time! The Count Meets the Duke - Duke Ellington and Count Basie Jazz Samba Encore! - Stan Getz & Luiz Bonfá Indestructible - Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers
@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews It's breath taking and the reason that Kind Of Blue, Sketches, Bitches Brew and On The Corner are the obvious choices from Miles are because they are singularly culture shifting pieces. Looking at the difference in all them works just shows you how great Miles really was. Compare any of them to one another and it's almost impossible that they came from the mind of the same person (obviously with some great collaborators)
I’m going to definitely check out these sounds and appreciate your expertise in suggesting them. I’ve been avidly listening to music since probably 1967 when I was only 10 years old. Music is Best! Frank Zappa
Liked/subscribed. I'm 67 and just developing an appreciation for music (always liked it but only had a few albums I liked enough to hear them more than once). I know nothing of jazz but am listening to your top 10 with great interest. Thanks.
Kenny, great list never heard the Mingus and the Sanders. Have most of the others pulling them now to dig back in! I can't wait to review our Fusion list. Bob in Denver
Great list...grew up in SF and I'm a big jazz music fan...also just a "music" lover period. I also grew up with a dad who loved jazz and influenced my taste in music. I'm a BIG fan of Miles Davis...Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain are also two of my favs. Love Coltrane...Love Supreme is definitely in my top 10 but I would have to include Giant Steps. Ahmad Jamal, "Live at the Pershing...But Not for Me" and "Somethin' Else", Cannonball Adderly, Miles Davis and Hank Jones.
@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews Thank you for reminding me how good that Keith Jarrett album is....I pulled it out this morning and listened to it while watering my garden with my dogs. 👋🏽👍🏽☺
(very) Good Choices! I am 70 years old; started end60s with Miles... and worked myself fore- + backwards since then! Probably Duke is missing (?) Realised his importance in mid 80s with two chance-discoveries: Bethlehem recordings _ end 50s .. and a live gig at Berliner Jazztage _ mid 60s?, broadcasted on german publicTV. Anyway, anxious soon to check the other lists of yours. KeepOnTruckin' !!
Hi, I have just watched this upload with a lot of interest & checked out the ''McCoy Tyner - Fly With The Wind'' on the strength of your recommendation, I've ordered a copy from Discogs after hearing the title track, Thank you very much.
I love lists like this. Every jazz listener has a different Top 10, but you have several here that I really like, such as Getz' Focus, Coltrane's A Love Supreme, The Koln Concert and Mingus Ah Um, so that gives me confidence I will find enjoyment in the recordings you included that I don't know, such as McCoy's Fly With the Wind and Pharaoh Sanders' Karma LP. Thank-you very much.
Great pics! I'm a hardcore jazz dude and I hadn't heard of some of these. Big props to Karma and Mingus Ah Um! Gotta check that don cherry one and those mccoy!
10) Wayne Krantz - Signals

wayne krantz and Abercrombie...out! sorry dude
solid list bro especially the cannonball adderley album
Where is ur pharaoh in this list!
Man jazz is just such a beautiful world of music. There's still so much to discover as well.
That's definitely true, so much music to explore 🎶
Bill Evans - Portrait In Jazz. Those early Bill Evans Trio recordings are outstanding.
Bill Evans - Portrait in Jazz 👏 👍
Good stuff. Somethin' Else by Cannonball is one my all-time favorites.
That's a great album 👌 👏
Was lucky enough to see Coltrane, Mingus, Getz, McCoy, Don Cherry (with Old and New Dreams) and Sanders, once with Leon Thomas at the Village Vanguard and with Coltrane in 1966 in Madison, Wisconsin. Pretty impressive vinyl collection.
Those are some prime time jazz legends that you were able to see...impressive 👍 👏
I was only six when you saw Coltrane live. How fortunate you were big Bro'! I got heavy into jazz in the early 80's. I'm a big fan of Coltrane too as well as the classic jazz artists, labels, engineers, producers and liner note writers and anybody who just digs jazz!

Kind of Blue absolutely saved my life. Got me through some dark times. Solitude isn't something to be feared; this music reminds you of that.
No Charlie Parker?
I love the Black Saint and Sinner Lady. I would marry that album if I could.
Cool list. I will check out a few of these.
Thank you very much for watching my video ✌️
Great list here Kenny. And like you said, everybody probably has a different one. Sketches of Spain and Kind of Blue by Miles really spoke to me. Charlie Parker, Wes Montgomery, Hebie H, Chick Corea,...Man so many. Long live Jazz. I'm sitting here now listening to, the Last Concert by the Modern Jazz Quartet. Take care all of you Jazz fans.
Long live jazz 😊😁 👏 👍 🎶
Thx for good recommand!!!
Every day is a reminder that great music is only a click away.
Thank you very much for your great comments 😊✌️

Thank you, always appreciate learning others’ top 10 lists
I love looking at other youtubers top 10 list also to see their point of view compared to mine.
Great to see choices here that are not just the obvious classics or records that are being pushed by reissue labels, your love of the music comes across loud and clear! Sending you all the best from Dublin Ireland!
It's cool to hear from Dublin Ireland. Thank you very much for your comments and viewing my video 😁
Thanks for the suggestion, I like your picks, very similar to my taste as well. I am gonna pick up a copy of the Don Cherry record
The Don Cherry album is great 👍
Nice list. Don Cherry, so many great albums. The man was not afraid of exploration, The artists of AACM out of Chicago, I've been listening to for years. Oh so many great players. They will take you to places through composition and improv that you would have never expected to go. Too many to name here, all different. Wadada Leo Smith's solo trumpet album Red Sulphur Sky should not be missed. A top ten list filled only with ACCM artists would still be a great list. Creative music at its best.
Thank you very much for your great comments about Don Cherry and thank you very much for watching my video ✌️
From one music lover to another. Thank You. I have discovered a few albums through your channel. Great stuff.
Peace,😎🤎
It makes me very happy that I am able to introduce new albums to you and others. Thank you very much for your comments ✌️
Seeing these videos is such a great way to find out about music, and not just decent music, but some of the best music of all time. Thanks!
Thank you very much Andy, I really appreciate that 😁

My favorite Album of all Time is Kurt Rosenwinkels *Our Secret World*
Recently started my jazz listening journey, I've been listening to pretty much nothing else now for a month haha. I'm thoroughly enjoying the journey. I never had (or have) people like your brothers who are into jazz, so I have to figure it out by myself.

Oh my God, man...I revere that album. It was the record that made me truly believe in Tony Bennett.
Fantastic record for sure.. thank you very much for your comments ✌️
Fantastic suggestion -- one of my top faves too.
And Bill’s solo piano on the Bad and the Beautiful theme. Have been listening to that repeatedly. So beautiful
My comment was referring to the first Tony Bennett/Bill Evans collaboration in 1975. "The Bad & The Beautiful" is from the second collaboration in 1977.
However, both recordings are masterpieces and should be in every jazz lover's collection.

That Mingus album is absolutely fabulous 👌 👏 👍.
Great to hear your list, most of them were new to me. I'll work my way through them in the coming weeks. Thanks

From Italy ....Great selection.........
Thank you very much and thank you for watching my video from Italy ✌️
The Koln concert was my dad's favourite jazz album and he would play it on record every Sunday. It's the reason why I studied piano. Thank you for your videos!
Sentimentally for me, when I was 16 I listened toLes McCann Swiss Movement, & Roland Kirk’s Rip, Rig, & Panic. I then branched out from there, a continuing education
Those are to great jazz musician 👏 ..the musical learning experience never ends 😊
Thxu so much for sharing your passion for jazz 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you and thank you very much for viewing my video 😊
Good stuff, i have about 400 blue note 💽 albums tucked away, here's a few of my favorites but love them all...
Art Blakey& the Jazz Messengers
Coltrane
Hank Mobley
Dexter Gordon
Tina Brooks🎷
Lee Morgan
Freddie Hubbard
Gene Ammons (Jug)
Miles
Wayne Shorter......In no particular order!! "Jazz washes away the dust of everyday life", a quote by the late GREAT ART BLAKEY!!!👌
Outstanding list 👌 👏 👍 🎶
Great video. You have given me so much home work!!! Looking forward to listening to your list and those in the comments. I can tell you have lead us straight to the jackpot.
Thank you very much I really appreciate that...I hope that you enjoy the music 🎶 😊😁✌️
I love “Monks Dream”, and “milestones
Two all time greats 👍 👌 🎶
I only recently just got into jazz and I’ve been looking for more jazz songs with someone singing over it. I really love Betty Carter and looking for more songs like that. Great video, thanks for the recommendations.
Thank you for watching my video, I really appreciate it ✌️
Great video! A couple there I need to check out....Thanks for posting!
Thank you very much ✌️
Thank for Talk Fly With The wind, great album
My brother, I appreciate that 💯 ✌️
Кенні, дуже цікавий топ 10. Дякую.
Thanks for viewing my video and your comments 😀
In 1978 I was 18, and worked as a busboy in a restaurant that played jazz over their sound system. Fly With the Wind was one of the albums they regularly played. I loved it, so I went right out and bought the album. I have been a McCoy Tyner fan ever since. So glad you picked it as one of your favorites.
Thank you very much for sharing that cool story 👏 👍 ✌️
Passing the Cologne Opera house on my daily commute ✌🏻 where the Köln Concert was recorded.
Greetings from Germany.
My favorit jazz album is Miles Davis - in a silent way
Thank you very much for viewing from Germany 😊😁 In a silent way is a fantastic album.
You nailed it Kenny!....Trane, Miles, Pharoah front and center...can't go wrong...I'm going to check out that Don Cherry album too since he got Pharoah and Gato Barbieri with him.
Meant to add...thanks for all you do for the jazz community...America was the birth place of the music
I appreciate that, thank you very much. That Don Cherry album is great...at least in my opinion 😊 ✌️
Love your selections, it’s hard to say what is my favorite but yours are right up there, thanks.
Thank you very much 😊
I love Donald Byrd and Lonnie Smith.
Both of them are great 👍 👌 👏
Outstanding selections. I knew I was in the right place when you started with Don Cherry. But I've looked at so many top 10 jazz album lists. Almost all include Kind of Blue, for good reason, but I have not seen one that includes Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch. It's an all-star album, and Eric worked his butt off, writing great arrangements and rehearsing like crazy. It is the greatest jazz avant-garde album. Why does everyone leave it off their list? Herbie Hancock! Tony Williams! Bobby Hutcherson! Richard Davis! The rhythm section is out of this world! Put it on your next list!
I have that album and it is a marvelous album for sure 👌
Thanks Kenny, great collection. Peace
Thanks I appreciate that 💯
Koln concert, the first song is one of the most beautiful pieces i have ever heard
For sure...a masterpiece
Much respect, looking forward to these, many I’m not familiar with, I can’t wait!
😊😁
The Mention of Pharaoh Sanders Karma, and Keith Jarrett Solo Cologne concert. Well done sir, well done.
Thank you very much ✌️
The One of a Kind video. Thanks a lot for it.
Thank you very much and thank you for watching my video.
great collection..
Thank you very much ✌️ 😊
Jarrett's album was and maybe still is the largest selling jazz album ever. Great choices, sir.
Thank you 😊
Keith Jarrett's "Koln Concert" is the best-selling solo album in jazz history and the best-selling piano album with sales of around 4 million sales.
"Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis is the best selling jazz album of all time with 5 million units certified sold.
The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans album is a great choice 👌 👍 👏
@@nysaxman. You’re right, kind of blue is the best selling of all time, and Keith Jarrett is my most favorite pianist of all time, and his trio is my favorite trio ever.
Muchísimas gracias 🙏🍀🙏🐾
You are welcome...thank you very much ✌️
Thanks for sharing Kenny 🙏🏾
Thank you very much 😊
I have nearly all of those and a couple other ones that I don’t have Ive streamed before - and they are all fantastic .. only one I’m really not familiar with is the pharaoh sanders LP, which I’m streaming right now and it’s pretty cool.
The Stan Getz LP I’ve never heard either, but I plan to stream that one as well.
The rest of your pics are all outstanding.
The Keith Garrett double LP - I bought that one a few years ago after reading a bunch of reviews about it and it piqued my interest so I came across a copy and bought it. Great LP.
This is why I really love watching these type RUclips channels- because every now and then I will learn about a new LP that I don’t have or one I’ve never heard before, as is the case of Pharoah Sanders and boom - found something new to love. :)
Excellent video. :)
I love the Stan Getz "Focus" album with the beautiful blend of jazz and classic music. I especially like the song "Pan" on that albums. The Pharoah Sanders album provides a lot of musical jazz emotion that is powerful and great.
I also like watching other youtubers top 10 videos because I always learn something new.
Thank you very much for your comments ✌️
Bruh Kenny, You are my Dude! My all-time favorite Jazz group are the Crusaders. I first heard "Free As the Wind" album in HS in 1976.
My brother, I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video and your comments peace ✌️
I didn't grow up with jazz but I'm enjoying it more as I get older. I'm still working my way through the 'classics' and learning. Appreciate the video and will check out the reccs!
My favorite jazz album (so far) is Eastern Sounds by Yusef Lateef. I also love:
Idle Moments - Grant Green
Mingus Ah Um - Charles Mingus
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
Monk's Dream - The Thelonious Monk Quartet
First Time! The Count Meets the Duke - Duke Ellington and Count Basie
Jazz Samba Encore! - Stan Getz & Luiz Bonfá
Indestructible - Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers
I'm familiar with and have every album on your list except the last one..you have great taste when it come to jazz 👏 👍 🎶
Wonderful list- love that Sketches was on there. In the Miles catalogue I feel like it doesn't always get the props it deserves.
I agree with you about Sketches of Spain 👏 👏 🎶
@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews It's breath taking and the reason that Kind Of Blue, Sketches, Bitches Brew and On The Corner are the obvious choices from Miles are because they are singularly culture shifting pieces. Looking at the difference in all them works just shows you how great Miles really was. Compare any of them to one another and it's almost impossible that they came from the mind of the same person (obviously with some great collaborators)
I’m going to definitely check out these sounds and appreciate your expertise in suggesting them. I’ve been avidly listening to music since probably 1967 when I was only 10 years old. Music is Best! Frank Zappa
I appreciate your comments and thank you very much for watching my video 😊
Liked/subscribed. I'm 67 and just developing an appreciation for music (always liked it but only had a few albums I liked enough to hear them more than once). I know nothing of jazz but am listening to your top 10 with great interest. Thanks.
Thank you very much for subscribing and viewing my video, I really appreciate it 😊
Forrest flower Charles Loyd
Forrest Flower is fantastic with that amazing group of musicians that he had on that album.
Kenny, great list never heard the Mingus and the Sanders. Have most of the others pulling them now to dig back in! I can't wait to review our Fusion list. Bob in Denver
Thank you very much Bob for watching my videos 😊 ✌️
Very helpful for a person starting to listen to jazz!
Thank you very much 😊
You are on point, it's so many albums to choose from. Miles works most definitely,
Thank you very much for viewing 😀 👍
very solid list my brother, you have diversified and beautiful taste, blessings
Thank you very much I really appreciate that ✌️
Much respect! I knew you were on it when you opened with Symphony for Improvisers.
Thank you, I appreciate that 💯 😊 ✌️
@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews - Would love to see your picks for "great albums that are not well known" for jazz and fusion.
Great list...grew up in SF and I'm a big jazz music fan...also just a "music" lover period. I also grew up with a dad who loved jazz and influenced my taste in music. I'm a BIG fan of Miles Davis...Kind of Blue and Sketches of Spain are also two of my favs. Love Coltrane...Love Supreme is definitely in my top 10 but I would have to include Giant Steps. Ahmad Jamal, "Live at the Pershing...But Not for Me" and "Somethin' Else", Cannonball Adderly, Miles Davis and Hank Jones.
I love the Ahmad Jamal selections 👏 👍 🎶
@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews Thank you for reminding me how good that Keith Jarrett album is....I pulled it out this morning and listened to it while watering my garden with my dogs. 👋🏽👍🏽☺
(very) Good Choices! I am 70 years old; started end60s with Miles... and worked myself fore- + backwards since then! Probably Duke is missing (?) Realised his importance in mid 80s with two chance-discoveries: Bethlehem recordings _ end 50s .. and a live gig at Berliner Jazztage _ mid 60s?, broadcasted on german publicTV. Anyway, anxious soon to check the other lists of yours. KeepOnTruckin' !!
I was in the same situation. My dad was a jazz fan so I always heard it whether on the radio in the car or on a record player. I’m a jazz fan now.
Hi, I have just watched this upload with a lot of interest & checked out the ''McCoy Tyner - Fly With The Wind'' on the strength of your recommendation, I've ordered a copy from Discogs after hearing the title track, Thank you very much.
Your very welcome and thank you very much for viewing my video i really appreciate it 😊. I hope that you enjoy the album ✌️
@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews Thanks mate 👍
I love lists like this. Every jazz listener has a different Top 10, but you have several here that I really like, such as Getz' Focus, Coltrane's A Love Supreme, The Koln Concert and Mingus Ah Um, so that gives me confidence I will find enjoyment in the recordings you included that I don't know, such as McCoy's Fly With the Wind and Pharaoh Sanders' Karma LP. Thank-you very much.
Yes, your top 10 and mine are completely different.
Great pics! I'm a hardcore jazz dude and I hadn't heard of some of these. Big props to Karma and Mingus Ah Um! Gotta check that don cherry one and those mccoy!
Thank you very much for viewing my video...the Don Cherry album is great 👍
