Bright Moments Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 i started this thread at the "back room" please import your comments from there to here! if you could only have 1 cd per artist (leader) in your collection which one would it be? Double albums are o.k. but NO box sets, mosaics etc.! I'll start with what i think is the BEST Monk cd out there: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 i started this thread at the "back room" please import your comments from there to here! if you could only have 1 cd per artist (leader) in your collection which one would it be? Double albums are o.k. but NO box sets, mosaics etc.! I'll start with what i think is the BEST Monk cd out there: I would agree, partially because this was the first Monk record I ever purchased. That alone puts me at a disadvantage. Oh the fidelity on there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WD45 Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 For my vote on Wes: Hands f'ing down. There is so much joy and bounce in that title cut that I get happy each time I lay the needle on the wax. I am gonna have to put that on later...

Michael Fitzgerald Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Ego - that's an interesting choice over Emergency (and Turn It Over), the Blue Notes (and the later Blue Notes), the Holdsworth stuff, etc.? I do like it, but it seems not so representative. But maybe no TW album is really representative. I finally picked up a copy of The Old Bum's Rush - haven't gotten around to listening yet.
