I can’t get enough of Bill Evans!
Al Di Meola's Elegant Gypsy is a fantastic album.
My first jazz record was Herbie Hancock Maiden Voyage. I also recommend anything by Horace Silver. Larry Young Into Somethin. Its also phenomenal its organ, guitar and saxophone. Grant Green plays guitar. Its easy to get into and relaxing.
Six Pieces of Silver and Song for my Father are on my list of future purchases from Horace Silver.
Your voice sounds like John Lithgow! Great review thanks
Been listening to Jazz since about 73
When people told me Jerry and Duane listened to Miles and Trane I was in!
Yes Dead Head here…..a band that has many jazz roots and underpinnings
Great callout! A ton of the Dead’s live improvisation is derived from jazz.
Great advice and recommendations. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks for watching!
If i were starting a jazz collection I would have at least one by Armstrong, Ellington, Parker and Monk. That would be for someone starting to learn the history of jazz I guess. But all your choices are excellent.
Monk is the most glaring hole in my jazz collection. I do have at least one record from the others you mentioned.
@@TheFraudiophile I soon will have published an article on an audiophile site on Monk, my favorite jazz musician I talk about his whole career and give album recommendations. When it's posted I will send you the link. Thanks!
LOVE your channel name! This is a great list - I would maybe change a couple here or there - but for the most part - solid. I am a huge Grant Green fan and I also like a lot of Organ driven Jazz - so maybe throw in a John Patton for the Chat Baker - but I have all of these and they are great! Herbie Hancock is my favorite!
As a rock fan, I find myself drawn first to the guitarists and Green is right there with Burrell and John McLaughlin for me.
All top notch stuff. For me Miles is King. I use to buy a lot of jazz but slowed it down tremendously as prices keep going up. 75% of the time when I listen to jazz it’s Miles from 68-73, his electric years
I really like Bitches Brew, but I think Jack Johnson might be my favorite from that era.
New subscriber! A few surprise picks but love all of them. Thank you for including "Time Out" as it is one of my favorites. I also really enjoy "Little Girl Blue" by Nina Simone, "Getz/Gilberto" by Stan Getz, "At Last" by Etta James, "A Love Supreme" by John Coltrane, and "Mingus Ah Um" by Charles Mingus
Thanks for the sub! I have about 50 jazz records currently in my collection including all you mentioned other than Nina Simone and Etta James.
@@TheFraudiophile well you have a fine collection. I’m just like you; got into jazz late but I’m having fun learning. I’ll be listening to the ones you recommended all week
I’ve been collecting jazz since the 1970s and have way too many records and CDs, but I really enjoyed your list! It gave me some great suggestions for a bunch of records to,pull out that I haven’t listened to in a while to play. Thanks. Keep it up.
Also try Bill Evans Waltz for Debby or Live at the Village Vanguard. Both recorded at the same gig, unbelievable sound quality too.
Thanks Bob! Do you have any suggestions of jazz musicians that I should listen to?
@@TheFraudiophile Try this one:
The contemporary reissue of Shelley Mann and his men line at the Blackhawk vol 1.
Great jazz, excellent reissue quality too.
I like the jazz guitar players - Grant Green is the best IMO and as someone else said, Bill Evans is a must have.
I’d add Kenny Burrell and John McLaughlin to my favorites, but Grant Green has his own sound and feel to his playing.
Solid List!! Maiden Voyage is another good album by Herbie Hancock!! Definitely a top 5 for me. Bill Evans live at Town Hall is must! Probably my favorite jazz piano based album
Bill Evans is a glaring hole in my collection. Waltz for Debby is at the top of my wantlist.
Is coming to Florida in September. Check his tour list for 2024z
Great list to start. Coltrane Love personally I will keep to next step IMO, Blue Train is more soft. Cheers from Florida.
I think Coltrane is my favorite sax player. I also have A Love Supreme and Giant Steps. I also love his work with Miles first quintet.
@@TheFraudiophile Coltrane is great sax player indeed, but Afro Blue is not for everyone for example.
Uh Dirty Mac was Lennon Clapton Keef on bass and Mitch Mitchell on drums crossover rock 1968
I never knew this! I truly appreciate how a young Clapton wanted to collaborate with so many great musicians.
U aint no fraud
Try ECM I have Eberhsrd Weber Azimuth John Taylor Ralph Towne John Abercrombie Rubisa Patrol Mark Isham also Oregon Icarus see if any of those float your boat I like bop hard bop and post bop Ellington MJQ Hubbard even Benson and Dexter Gordon and Thelonious
Monk-Brilliant Corners ;Rypdal-Odyssey. Don Cherry-Complete Communion or Eternal Rhythm
Monk is a glaring hole in my jazz collection.
I'd be interested to know about your hi-fi system?
My main system is a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable, an Emotiva PT-1 preamp a pair of PSE Studio V monoblocks and Magnepan MMG speakers.
