Great information thank you. Today seemed to be Cool Jazz in theme. It would be cool maybe if the 5 for under $20 would be themed each time. Love you videos and thank you for sharing you jazz knowledge to help all of us on our journeys.
Thanks. Actually I tried to mix it up today. Some hard bop in there including I would say the Manne. I do like the idea of a theme though. Maybe next time.
I can imagine another in this run "Toes in the Water" - 10 for the newly adventurous. Nothing too too far out: Monk, Ornette Coleman's Atlantic quartet, Dolphy -Out to Lunch, Hutcherson - Maiden Voyage or San Francisco, Miles' second quintet (my favourite) - Sorcerer, Nefertiti etc., Eddie Harris - High Voltage (spacey psych soul-jazz), Charles Mingus presents Charles Mingus, Coltrane - Ole.
Yes you did! but I was a little reluctant to switch from my usual schtick. Then when discussing it, my wife told me it was a great idea and I should do it. You were right and so was she!
I think The Bill Evans Album from 1971 is a fantastic choice for anyone starting up a jazz collection. It's generally very cheap to buy and has the distinction of Bill Evans playing a lot of Fender Rhodes, which always makes me wish he would have played the electric piano more. And it's nothing too complex, just some solid cool jazz that's perfect for a rainy day
Well done again. I have had that Paul Winter LP for many years and really enjoy it. It is indeed so cheap I would not be surprised to see it in the dollar bin - but so nice. Glad you pointed it out.
It is truly great. And remarkable how good it is considering the weakness of the previous effort. Turns out having the right sidemen makes a difference!
Ah Chet Baker it could happen to you. I passed this up when Craft first reissued it but now I've listened to it properly and realised how hard it swings I'm enjoying it immensely and have found a copy to order. Philly Joe, Kenny Drew and George Morrow what a rhythm section!! Almost impossible to fail. For me it's 4.5 out 5 stars. Great episode as most are mate. Well researched and balanced bordering on completely objective which makes your opinion one worth listening to. Keep it up.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes this one seems to fly under the radar for some reason but it’s excellent for all the reasons you suggest. I wasn’t a big Baker fan years ago but that has changed, he might be my favourite trumpeter now and I find myself digging for 50s rarities of his.
Well, I’ve only ever heard the one I have! Which is the 1956 US mono pressing with blue labels - the other competitor for “first pressing” status has black labels which are otherwise identical. I think it sounds excellent. There has been no AAA / audiophile reissue in recent years and so I suspect the early pressings have little competition. Be interested to hear people’s impressions of the 1974 Japanese pressing which is fairly inexpensive.
Great albums all. I have been buying jazz since the 70's with a focus on what was current. My first purchase was CTI - Moon Gems - Joe Ferrell, which led me down the CTI rabbit hole and out the other side. I look forward to catching up on your 10 minute videos.
Great list. And more than half of the titles are available as recently-released, high-quality represses.
Yes you may have seen the fingerprint-free laminated sheen on the Coltrane-Hartman and the Chet Baker.

Big thumbs up! Great job and recommendations.
Thanks so much!
I am a huge Chet baker fan and that is my go to record
It's a bona fide classic in every sense.

Nice idea. May use it! Thanks.
I thought I gave you that suggestion, you even gave me credit in the video. Cheers! Alex L

To repeat my self (and others): Great video again - thanks 😊
Thanks Captain.
MUCH better than your previous list...
Glad it hit the spot.
Great video again, McCoy Tyners album is so underrated and one of my all time favorites for sure 👍
Thank you - it was hard to pick just one of his, but affordability narrowed the field.
Great post.very informative
Glad it was helpful!

Great as always! I see a few i need to add to my collection.
Thanks Mark, pleased to hear.

Great video, great recomendations.
Thanks very much.
Love the format! You fit a lot of records into 10 records.
I'm all about value. Under-promise, over-deliver.
By any chance are you related to Don Fagerquist the trumpeter?
Great channel! Can I suggest Larry Young’s “Unity” to the list?
Indeed! I reviewed it some time ago; one of the great halfway houses between hard bop and the avant-garde.
And thank you.
Great video, thanks for so much great content! One question: what's that big blue book at the bottom of your stack?
Good question! I’m out of town for a bit so will have to verify and get back to you.
Which pressing of the Clifford Brown-Max Roach album would you recommend?
Well, I’ve only ever heard the one I have! Which is the 1956 US mono pressing with blue labels - the other competitor for “first pressing” status has black labels which are otherwise identical.

If only I'd had a mic to drop.

Do you own any pre-war jazz 78s?
No! but somehow i feel I will in the future...
