1. Gene Ammons - Boss Tenor 2. Charlie Mingus - Blues & Roots 3. Ike Quebec - Soul Samba 4. Clifford Brown & Max Roach 5. Chris Connor - Sings Lullabys of Birdland
Hi and thanks, gonna try those records. My list is M. Davis "Bag's groove", C. Brown "Study in brown", S. Rollins "The bridge", O. Coleman "Tomorrow is the question", P. Newborn "we three"
1.The Gentle Side Of John Coltrane 2. The Blues and the Abstract Truth Oliver Nelson 3. I Just Dropped By To Say Hello Johnny Hartman 4. Joe Williams Live! A Swingin' Night At Birdland 5. Duke Ellington & John Coltrane
Not sure if I have a top 5 exactly, but Miles Davis albums 1965-1969 are all among my favorites. I'd also put Speak No Evil, Adam's Apple, Maiden Voyage, etc in there.
Yea that era of Miles is absolutely phenomenal, and agreed on that Shorter/Herbie titles too. I'd bet if I expanded my top album list to 20 or 30, they'd all be in there
@@jazzvinylcollectorI neglected to say: thanks for your list. I'd only heard of one of these (Gene Ammons) but haven't listened to any of them. Will check em out!
Right with you on Soul Samba. I feel Ike’s sax in my chest and it manages to feature a bossa style without sounding derivative. “Effortless” is definitely the right word, as you put it.
My top 5 Curtis Fuller - Blues-Ette Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers - Indestructible Andrew Hill - Point of Departure Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles Alice Coltrane - Ptah, The El Daoud
Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section Paul Gonsalves - Boom Jackie Boom Chick Ben Webster - Soulville Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil Sure I’d pick a different 5 tomorrow 😅
Really good video and choices. I was sure the Mingus was gonna get a super deluxe analogue treatment, but think it’s been sidelined. Unbelievable album. I hope with all these reissues coming out, they delve further into the Clifford / roach material.
Agreed, it makes you wonder what condition some of those early EmArcy titles are in. I guess Study in Brown was in decent enough shape for Acoustic Sounds
Very good Top 5👏🏻 “Bossa Nova Soul Samba” is one of my faves. I have a 70’s repress from a Blue Note plant in San Francisco. I love how RVG engineered the entire album and makes Quebec’s tone, sound so intimate. You can hear Ike taking breaths and pushing notes through the bell. Such a beautiful record!
At last an original list. Not that anyone asked, but Duke Pearson’s Wahoo would make my top list, along with at least one album from Bobby Hutcherson, and one from Kenny Burrell. Ernest Ranglin’s Below The Bassline joins the show, with Monty Alexander’s Rastamonk.
A few favorite albums off the top of my head. 1. Bitches Brew - Miles Davis 2. Changeless - Keith Jarrett Trio 3. Going Back Home - Ginger Baker/Bill Frisell 4. Angel Song - Kenny Wheeler 5. Mike Mainieri - Northern Lights And a few hundred more. But none older than 1969.
WCB love your videos! Your approach is intelligent, detailed and very carefully presented. From all the RUclips vinyl channels, yours is heads and shoulders above the rest with regards to the Jazz genre. 👍Thanks for your insightful videos
My top give has been similarly static. However, does include a couple of the usual suspects. I knew the Chris Connor would be on your list, and I love that record too.
Many thanks for making me aware of these LPs. I have the Gene Ammons vinyl (recent repress) on order heading my way and purchased the Chris Connors last year while in Atlanta for $7.50. Shall seek out the others for sure.
Just happened upon your channel while surfing. I was definitely intrigued when out of the gate you came up with "Boss Tenor" which is also one of my favorite albums. At nearly 80 years of age and a jazz lover, I have heard so many great albums it is impossible for me to narrow my favorites down to five. However, off the top of my head these come to mind; 1. Boss Tenor - Gene Ammons 2. Nuther Further - Sonny Stitt and Jack McDuff 3. Jazz Track - Miles Davis 4. Broadway My Way - Nancy Wilson and Cannonball Adderley 5. Boss of The Blues - Joe Turner These I have been listening to for many years. However, more recently I have been captured by some of the works of Gregory Porter and Samara Joy as well as the late great Roy Hargrove. Thanks for sharing!
You are a man of great taste! Boss Tenor was one of the first jazz recordings I bought when I first got into jazz. And Soul Samba is certainly a fave of mine also. Nice to see a list based on personal favourites instead of those lists that are more about boasting how sophisticated and “knowledgeable” someone supposedly is. Enjoyed the video!
Miles Davis: Kind of Blue. Charlie Mingus: Mingus Ah Um. John Coltrane: Giant Steps. Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out and lastl but not least, Ornette Colman; The shape of jazz to come. 1959! the golden year!
1. Gene Ammoms-Boss Tenor 2. Pharoah Sanders- Karma 3. Oscar Peterson Trio- We Get Requests 4. Herbie Hancock- Headhunters 5. Sonny Rollins- Way out West
Boss Tenor certainly in my top ten, have the Mingus as well. Bossa Nova, very few stereo, soooooooo expensive 700 euros for a near mint. I’m collecting the Supper Club Belgium releases inc Miss Connor. Incredible value everyone under £20 between Juno and Amazon.
Soul Samba by Ike Quebec is definitiely in my top 5 jazz album and top 3 Blue Note title. Really hope this one will get the Tone Poet treatment in the coming years.. Fingers crossed for 2024.
1. John Coltrane: The Other Village Vanguard Tapes 2. Lee Morgan: The Procrastinator 3. George Benson/Earl Klugh: Collaboration 4. Oliver Nelson: The Blues And The Abstract Truth 5. Lou Donaldson: Mr. Shing A Ling
Very fun video - I’m also a big fan of Mingus “Moanin’” since my daughter had the opportunity to play it in her (very good) HS jazz band - the highlight was the bari sax player walking in from the back of the house playing that riff. Top 5 for me in terms of ones I go back to all the time: Don Ellis “Electric Bath”; Archie Shepp “mama too tight”; Yusef Lateef “Live at Peps; and Mingus ah Um. Also honorable mention since its on the border of jazz and bluegrass: the Tony Rice Unit “Mar West”. Cheers
Just for fun, my Top 5 (at the moment?forever?who knows?) in order as they came to mind: Kenny Dorham - Quiet Kenny Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - A Night in Tunisa Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come Dexter Gordon - Go
Steve Lehman is such a great player! Hearing your reference his name is a great reminder to check out some of his albums again that I have and see what he's been up to lately!
Great video and interesting choices. I’ve got 2 (Quebec and Ammons), one I’m already seeking out (Mingus) but the other 2 are new to me, so I’ll definitely check them out. I’ve only been into jazz 3-4 years so my top albums do change as I discover new music. You definitely got me looking into JJazz ...that Animals Garden album is phenomenal and definitely a top 5 for me. Thank you 🙏🙏
1. Inner mounting flame - Mahavishnu Orchestra 2. Agartha - Miles Davis 3. Tale Spinning - Weather Report 4.Where have I known you - Return to Forever 5.Illicit-Tribal Tech
Here are my all-time top five, based on the criteria you describe: The Freedom and Space Sessions - Booker Erwin And His Mother Called Him Bill - Duke Ellington School Days - Steve Lacy and Roswell Rudd Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World (the volume with High Modes) - Art Blakey Portrait of My Pals - Lars Gullin
Here are five favorites of mine, based on the criteria you suggest: The Freedom and Space Sessions - Booker Ervin And His Mother Called Him Blue - Duke Ellington School Days - Steve Lacy and Roswell Rudd Lars Gullin - Portrait of My Pals Art Blakey - Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World (the volume with "High Modes")
I’ll have to give my Japanese Mono press of the Clifford Brown/ Max Roach another listen; I can’t believe their version of Parisian Thoroughfare could possibly match Donald Byrds version, on the Sam Records 87904; that version is a true masterpiece! Great video as usual!
Do you think one of the big audiophile reissue labels will come out with a mono Blues & Roots? Although the Analogue Productions stereo received good reviews, I don't think it received rave reviews and there were a bunch of negative comments about the separation issue. Thanks again for another great, insightful video.
I can't have 5 jazz Records i play Sax since 40 years and when i think 40 records Favorite one by years all Sonny Rollins, art PEPPER and many others , Joe Henderson, Coltrane , Duke Ellington. Bill Evans , etc, etc😊
mahavishnu orchestra- The Inner mounting Flame Pharoah sanders- karma Miles Davis- Jack Johnson Lary Coryell- Spaces Sonny Rollins- East Broadway Run Down
Always a fun and difficult topic. My top 5 as of today are: (1) Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil; (2) Cannonball Adderley - Know What I Mean; (3) Ellington and Coltrane; (4) Miles Davis - My Funny Valentine; and (5) Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and Sinner Lady.
Really enjoyed this one. I love to hear what you have to say about the music. And that quality of "live in studio" that you identify in Mingus is something I've felt but never quite articulated before in a lot of his recordings, from "Pithecanthus Erectus" to "Black Saint and the Sinner Lady." There's something edgy and exciting -- even dangerous -- about them, as if you're right there with the musicians in the moment of creation. So, thanks for drawing a bead on that! (Also: I think I feel another Ike Quebec listening spell coming on...)
yea you're right, and what's crazy is that Mingus can achieve that through composition/arrangement because that and spontaneity are basically an oxymoron
Blues & Roots doesn't get the credit it deserves. A list of 5 favourites: -Max Roach - We Insist! -Roland Kirk - The Inflated Tear -John Coltrane - Meditations -Gato Barbieri - Chapter One: Latin America -McCoy Tyner - Extensions
I have no problem with your list. However, why does nobody ever list albums that are newer than 60 years old on these lists? How about music from the 21st Century? There are so many great jazz musicians making wonderful albums these days. It's no wonder that very few young people listen to jazz. New jazz doesn't get the attention it deserves these days.
Here is my 21st Century top 5 (favorites) 1) 1032K "That Which Is Planned" 2) Ted Nash "Sidewalk Meeting", 3) Rene Marie "Black Lace Freudian Slip", 4) Yazz Ahmed "Polyhymnia" 5) Trio 3 With Geri Allen "At This Time"
One that would definitely make my Top 5 (and is unlikely to be unseated) is Soul Brothers by Milt Jackson and Ray Charles. I love both the Stereo and Mono versions.
Great choices, like them all , Gene Ammons, Brother Jug, Charles Mingus, Mingus Moods, Willie BoBo , Clifford Brown, looks like you have a copy of Grant Green 's I want to hold your hand.
1. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman 2. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman 3. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman 4. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman 5. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman
Hi, thank you for sharing ,greetings from #bornholm #denmark 🇩🇰 . Ps: I just recently came around Herbie Hancock `s “Fat Albert Rotunda” - maybe you know this album - its pretty cool 👋🏻🔊🎩
Just a question? Is new jazz artists dead?? All the jazz channel’s talk about is the classic jazz music but no new jazz music I can’t find anything on new jazz music Is new jazz music dead!!!!
I think I know where you are going with this for sure. I think it's more of a personal preference of most of these channels. I think like you, you do want to hear more, because there are a ton of different artist and styles of jazz. I like all of jazz, from singing, to traditional through smooth from 1960's to 2023 and I love the discovery of new artist, it keeps the hobby fresh. What I do think is if someone wanted to take the challenge there is so much music that simply put isn't covered both old and especially new. If you get an opportunity, check out an artist named Walter Smith III, "Return to Casual", it's on Blue Note and it isn't talk about enough at all and it's with in the last year, but I like Boney James, Ambrose Akinmusire, Chris Botti, Joshua Redman, Artemis and many, many more. Also check out Leo Smith Divine Love (1976) and recordings from a drummer named Paul Motian. The Artemis record (last year) "In Real Time" is absolutely killer and again not really covered.
Walter Smith III has been around for a while and his latest is very underrated. I don't think that Blue Note has done enough to promote it. Immanuel Wilkins "Lift" is another release that's excellent but the pressing is a hit or missed which brings me to my next point: Most albums are released on CD or inferior vinyl whereas a lot a the legacy jazz are AAA using superior mastering engineers and pressing plants. That's what sells today.
@@davepounds8924 I listen to and buy a lot of new music actually. I find that International Anthem and We Jazz are particular standouts in terms of labels and I make a point to pick up a lot of their titles. Perhaps I spent more time focusing on new stuff on the Instagram platform vs. youtube, but it's not intentional
Mingus record is absolutely awful…….I would throw it away inmediately… How subjective everything is….I cant stand Ike Quebec either… And Blue Train and Ready for Freddie and 20 other coltrane or davis or parker records dont appear in the 5 top list…. Amazing really
@@jazzvinylcollector thanks for your answer! Can you tell me why so many collectors dont put the records IN the cover but besides? There must be a good reason for it because Ive seen several heavy collectors doing that. Thanks again!
@@jazzvinylcollector through you I discovered Mitchells Boss Horn record. Great record. When I heard Straight up and down I asked myself who could be playing piano and I thought, it sounded a bit like McCoy Tyner…I was quite right in a way because Corea once said he had learned everything writing down Tyners solos. I knew only his own version of that piece with Woody Shaw.
1. Gene Ammons - Boss Tenor
2. Charlie Mingus - Blues & Roots
3. Ike Quebec - Soul Samba
4. Clifford Brown & Max Roach
5. Chris Connor - Sings Lullabys of Birdland
Thanks !
Yes a lot of people mumble and mispronounce and tell you everything except the album.
Hi and thanks, gonna try those records. My list is M. Davis "Bag's groove", C. Brown "Study in brown", S. Rollins "The bridge", O. Coleman "Tomorrow is the question", P. Newborn "we three"

Andrew Hill - Point of Departure
Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles
Alice Coltrane - Ptah, The El Daoud
Great titles. I'm still looking for a copy of Blues-Ette, never have owned one
Blues-Ette is a total sleeper choice, amazing feel on the that record!
Herbie Hancock - Empyrean Isles
Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section
Paul Gonsalves - Boom Jackie Boom Chick
Ben Webster - Soulville
Wayne Shorter - Speak No Evil
Sure I’d pick a different 5 tomorrow 😅
Great video! I knew you wouldn’t post a standard “Kind of Blue” and “Time Out” Jazz-for-beginners video 😂😂
Both albums are accessible, sure. But they’ve also earned all the accolades they’ve been given
Really good video and choices.
I was sure the Mingus was gonna get a super deluxe analogue treatment, but think it’s been sidelined. Unbelievable album.

1. Bitches Brew - Miles Davis
2. Changeless - Keith Jarrett Trio
3. Going Back Home - Ginger Baker/Bill Frisell
4. Angel Song - Kenny Wheeler
5. Mike Mainieri - Northern Lights
And a few hundred more. But none older than 1969.

And His Mother Called Him Bill - Duke Ellington
School Days - Steve Lacy and Roswell Rudd
Meet You at the Jazz Corner of the World (the volume with High Modes) - Art Blakey
Portrait of My Pals - Lars Gullin
Ammons- Boss Tenor is great!! Totally agree, get the AP reissue currently in stock for those who are looking for a copy
Blue Gene…also great.
Here are five favorites of mine, based on the criteria you suggest:

mahavishnu orchestra- The Inner mounting Flame
Pharoah sanders- karma
Miles Davis- Jack Johnson
Lary Coryell- Spaces

Blues & Roots doesn't get the credit it deserves. A list of 5 favourites:
-Max Roach - We Insist!
-Roland Kirk - The Inflated Tear
-John Coltrane - Meditations
-Gato Barbieri - Chapter One: Latin America
-McCoy Tyner - Extensions
Strong list, and sounds like I need to revisit that Barbieri title as it’s been way too long
Im with you on the Mingus and Max Roach/Clifford Brown :D
Just thought of another one of my old favorites;
We Free Kings - Rashan Roland Kirk
I have no problem with your list. However, why does nobody ever list albums that are newer than 60 years old on these lists? How about music from the 21st Century? There are so many great jazz musicians making wonderful albums these days. It's no wonder that very few young people listen to jazz. New jazz doesn't get the attention it deserves these days.
Here is my 21st Century top 5 (favorites) 1) 1032K "That Which Is Planned" 2) Ted Nash "Sidewalk Meeting", 3) Rene Marie "Black Lace Freudian Slip", 4) Yazz Ahmed "Polyhymnia" 5) Trio 3 With Geri Allen "At This Time"
Great music is timeless! That being said I believe Jazz music had a golden era from approximately 1935-1990
It's a top 5 of all time and it's their opinion.
Modern recording process does a disservice to the genre. To me it lacks ambiance.
One that would definitely make my Top 5 (and is unlikely to be unseated) is Soul Brothers by Milt Jackson and Ray Charles. I love both the Stereo and Mono versions.
Boss Tenor on cd is my next purchase.
Great choices, like them all , Gene Ammons, Brother Jug, Charles Mingus, Mingus Moods, Willie BoBo , Clifford Brown, looks like you have a copy of Grant Green 's I want to hold your hand.
Should title ,My Top favourite Jazz Albums then !
I know this is a bit off topic but what are resting your Kef speakers on?
Pieces of pecan wood. Just to raise them up a bit for the tweeters to be ear level
1. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman
2. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman
3. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman
4. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman
5. John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman
Conversely, someone’s favorite COULD be a Miles Davis or John Contrane album because they actually like them.
You should have played samples of these albums, kind of missing the point of a youtube broadcast.
would love to, unfortunately RUclips blocks my content in the U.S and UK if I use samples of music that has copyrights on it, so I'm not able to
Is there a title on the Clifford brown & Max Roach?
Believe it is just self titled
No title, it's just called Clifford Brown and Max Roach. Originally released in 1954.
How can you select 5? Top 20 perhaps but 5 is impossible.
Boss Tenor is dope.
Don't know any of these. thanks
A couple of those that are quite affordable…!!
Yea they needn’t be expensive to be great… although okay that obviously is not always the case!
Hi, thank you for sharing ,greetings from #bornholm #denmark 🇩🇰 . Ps: I just recently came around Herbie Hancock `s “Fat Albert Rotunda” - maybe you know this album - its pretty cool 👋🏻🔊🎩
Soul samba absolutely best jazz album
Just a question? Is new jazz artists dead?? All the jazz channel’s talk about is the classic jazz music but no new jazz music I can’t find anything on new jazz music Is new jazz music dead!!!!
I think I know where you are going with this for sure. I think it's more of a personal preference of most of these channels. I think like you, you do want to hear more, because there are a ton of different artist and styles of jazz. I like all of jazz, from singing, to traditional through smooth from 1960's to 2023 and I love the discovery of new artist, it keeps the hobby fresh.
What I do think is if someone wanted to take the challenge there is so much music that simply put isn't covered both old and especially new. If you get an opportunity, check out an artist named Walter Smith III, "Return to Casual", it's on Blue Note and it isn't talk about enough at all and it's with in the last year, but I like Boney James, Ambrose Akinmusire, Chris Botti, Joshua Redman, Artemis and many, many more. Also check out Leo Smith Divine Love (1976) and recordings from a drummer named Paul Motian. The Artemis record (last year) "In Real Time" is absolutely killer and again not really covered.
Walter Smith III has been around for a while and his latest is very underrated. I don't think that Blue Note has done enough to promote it. Immanuel Wilkins "Lift" is another release that's excellent but the pressing is a hit or missed which brings me to my next point: Most albums are released on CD or inferior vinyl whereas a lot a the legacy jazz are AAA using superior mastering engineers and pressing plants. That's what sells today.
@@anthonysmith4449Thanks for your reply I think it would be nice if more channels talked about new artists more!! Thanks
@@davepounds8924 I listen to and buy a lot of new music actually.

Top 5 of all is not the same as one dude’s favorites.
