medjuck Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 (edited) In my case I'm sure it's "Kind of Blue"--as unimaginative as that may be. (I think this is a more interesting question than what is the "best" recording of all time.) Edited March 25, 2005 by medjuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 (I think this is a more interesting question than what is the "best" recording of all time.) Absolutely. An excellent question. I'm temped to say this one... ...but I'd have to think it over to be more sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfricaBrass Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Love, Forever Changes. I listened to that LP almost daily for a couple of years when I was in High School. Let's see... During the late 80's, I constantly listened to Coltrane's Africa Brass (MCA single cd) and David Crosby's If I Could Only Remember My Name. During the 90's I listened to a lot of Stereolab, especially Mars Audiac Quintet. Now, I find myself going from album to album (and city to city) like a gypsy. I do listen to a lot of Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West. Their Bear Family Box set is probably the most played item for me during the last few years. :rsmile: ----------- Jeff / formerly AfricaBrass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontooneous Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Stravinsky conducting "The Rite of Spring." All through my teen years. Followed closely by Charlie Parker, "The Savoy Sessions -- Master Takes," in its LP incarnation, and Bob Dylan's "Bringing It All Back Home."

ghost of miles Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 R.E.M.'s MURMUR and the first disc of COMPLETE BUD POWELL ON VERVE... a toss-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest che Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 In my case I'm sure it's "Kind of Blue"--as unimaginative as that may be. (I think this is a more interesting question than what is the "best" recording of all time.) Great question, but not one that is easy to answer, well at least for me. It would be easier if you had asked 'which track or song?', and could have said 'Hard Land' by Bruce Springsteen. But back to your question? If I stay with jazz then it would probably be: Miles Davis in Stockholm 1960 Complete Ask me in the morning and I may choose something else. Che.

Free For All Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Probably the Charlie Parker Aebersold play-along. I was obsessed w/that one when I was first learning to play bop heads and changes. I still use it frequently. As far as regular music CDs, it would probably be a Miles; Miles Smiles, KOB, Jazz at the Plaza, ESP, Milestones, or maybe Cannonball's Somethin' else.

sonic1 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Jazz- John Coltrane: Live at Villiage Vanguard box (I listened to this a hell of a lot when I first got it, and the album a hell of a lot before that. The album made me switch from guitar to tenor sax as a primary instrument. Rock- Beach Boys: Pet Sounds There is no better rock album. Classical- Luigi Nono: Fragmente-Stille, An Diotima EAI- Yoshihide, M, Nakamura: Good Morning, Good Night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I think I would probably say this one: Moi aussi! (Jazzwise, that is). Have to think about the _overall_ most-listened-to thing, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WD45 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 For jazz, it would be this: For rock, this was played nearly every day in the corporate whore record store I worked in for 6 months to make ends meet.

jlhoots Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Mine would be by Miles too - but it probably would be Round About Midnight or one from the Prestige series - maybe Cookin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
