Bright Moments Posted July 13, 2006 Author Report Posted July 13, 2006 ok technically this is 2 cd's and this is the 1 album thread, but: a) this double cd is just TOO good to miss, and b) it's MY thread dag nabbit!!! Quote
Jazz Kat Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 If I could only choose one Metheny album to die with, it'd be this one.. Quote
Guest akanalog Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 in reference to that live sun ra up above, i was just listening to "it is forbidden", a live set from 1974, and i really felt that it gives a nice overview of what sun ra was up to. it is a continuous jam morphing into a number of well known ra tunes over the cours of about an hour and a quarter.. wouldn't say it is the best ra i know of, not by far, but it would be a decent place for a novice to start, i think.

Big Al Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 Covering artists not previously mentioned in my first two posts (gotta wonder what I was thinking when I posted those, though!): Johnny Hodges with Billy Strayhorn and THE Orchestra Duke Ellington at Newport '56 Johnny Smith - Walk Don't Run R.E.M. - Monster XTC - English Settlement Cannoball Adderley - Somethin' Else Chet Baker - Chet Getz/Gilberto Vince Guaraldi - A Boy Named Charlie Brown Donald Byrd - Royal Flush Kenny Burrell - Blue Lights John Patton - Got a Good Thing Goin' Paul Desmond - Bossa Antigua More next year......

BruceH Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 I'm a Drums and Wires/Black Sea man myself, but English Settlement is a good one, ndai. Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 R.E.M. - Monster Monster is my favorite REM date too!! Their worst selling album (or at least used copies can be found everywhere, for pennies on the dollar), and it only gets 2½ starts in the AMG review. But my favorite!! Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted July 29, 2006 Report Posted July 29, 2006 R.E.M. - Monster Monster is my favorite REM date too!! Their worst selling album (or at least used copies can be found everywhere, for pennies on the dollar), and it only gets 2½ starts in the AMG review. But my favorite!! It sold more than 4 million. Two other REM albums sold over 4 mill. In my experience, the biggest selling albums are easiest to find second hand, because there were so many more of them sold. One percent of 4 mill is a lot more than one percent of 100,000. MG Quote
Face of the Bass Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 Hooked onto this thread, way too late, but here's my offering based on the artists I have multiple albums of in my collection: AMM - Newfoundland Art Ensemble of Chicago - Les Stances A Sophie Albert Ayler - Slug's Saloon Derek Bailey - Improvisation Billy Bang - Commandment Art Blakey - Free For All Anthony Braxton - For Alto Sonny Clark - Cool Struttin' Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz To Come John Coltrane - A Love Supreme Miles Davis - Miles Smiles Eric Dolphy - Out To Lunch Jimmy Giuffre - 1961 Dexter Gordon - Our Man in Paris Grant Green - Idle Moments Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage Andrew Hill - Judgment!!! Freddie Hubbard - Night of the Cookers Bobby Hutcherson - Oblique Booker Little - Out Front Jackie McLean - Let Freedom Ring Charles Mingus - Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus Hank Mobley - Soul Station Thelonious Monk - Monk's Music Lee Morgan - Search for the New Land Sachiko M - Good Morning Good Night Toshimaru Nakamura - Side Guitar Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus Keith Rowe - Duos for Doris Wayne Shorter - The All Seeing Eye Taku Sugimoto - Live in Australia Sun Ra - When Angels Speak of Love Cecil Taylor - Indent Quote

jmjk Posted November 2, 2006 Report Posted November 2, 2006 I'm a Drums and Wires/Black Sea man myself, but English Settlement is a good one, ndai. Another vote for English Settlement, however, I find myself drawn more and more to Nonsuch and Apple Venus lately. Skylarking is MORE than just pretty good, too. Quote
Bright Moments Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Posted December 2, 2006 Adrian Rollini - With his Novelty Trio & Quintet Quote
king ubu Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 ... Richard Williams 'New Horn In Town' (Candid) That's about as simple a pick as: Don Sleet - All Members I never meshed with this thread, but I'm at work and bored right now, so I'll think of some favourites - main problem is I feel actually to make such a statement you ought to be familiar with more or less the complete recorded output of these musicians, which in many cases I'm not, so I'll try and stick to musicians whose oeuvre I'm quite familiar with or add some kind of disclaimer... Charles Mingus - Black Saint & the Sinner Lady Cannonball Adderley - Something Else Grant Green - Idle Moments Kenny Dorham - Round About Midnight at the Café Bohemia Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus or Village Vanguard René Thomas - Guitar Groove (not familiar with too much of his stuff, though) Sonny Clark - Trio Hank Mobley - Soul Station Art Blakey - the 1953 Birdland, the 1954 Bohemia or Free for All - I really can't decide! Clifford Brown - Study in Brown (actually Brown/Roach) Max Roach - Freedom Now Suite Eric Dolphy - Out to Lunch or the Five Spot live date Ornette Coleman - At the Golden Circle Albert Ayler - Spiritual Unity Dexter Gordon - Our Man In Paris Herbie Hancock - probably Inventions & Dimensions, but I'm not quite sure Lee Morgan - The Procrastinator Jimmy Smith - Groovin' at Smalls Paradise (the full glorious 2CD RVG!) Abdullah Ibrahim - African Marketplace (with Yarona a close second) Randy Weston - Monterey '66 or Volcano Blues Cecil Taylor - Nefertiti (the Revenant 2CD set) Archie Shepp - Live in San Francisco Johnny Griffin - The Congregation (don't know more than a third or half his albums, though) Freddie Hubbard - Ready for Freddie Ben Webster - Meets Oscar Peterson Bud Powell - the trio date w/Un Poco Loco & the quintet w/Navarro & Rollins Thelonious Monk - the collected Genius of Modern Music (including the session on Bags' "Wizard of Vibes") Stan Getz - the early Roost quartets (disc 1 of the Blue Note 3CD set) Herbie Mann - At the Village Gate (I barely know his work, though) Yusef Lateef - Live at Pep's (Volume 1 - Volume 2 never struck me as much as Volume 1 did) John Coltrane - A Love Supreme Johnny Coles - The Warm Sound Art Pepper - Intensity (tough one to choose... all his late 50s Contemporary albums are da shit!) Art Ensemble - the Nessa box Horace Silver - & the Jazz Messengers Marion Brown - Quartet (I don't know that much of his stuff, but hey, this one's so feghing great!) Lee Konitz - Motion Lennie Tristano - Tristano Booker Little - Out Front Hal Russell - The Hal Russell Story (still need to look beyond his 3 ECMs and the UMS one I have, though) Jazztet - With John Lewis Benny Golson - Free Roland Kirk - Rip, Rig and Panic Booker Ervin - The Freedom and Space Sessions (cheating... that's the title of a 2LP set with you guess which two books) Oliver Nelson - The Blues and the Abstract Truth Alan Shorter - Orgasm (easy pick!) Miles Davis - tough call, but I think I go with PLM and pick the Plugged Nickel box Gianni Gebbia - Arcana Major Jimmy Giuffre - Free Fall George Russell - Ezz-thetic Joe Harriott - Free Form (though I know just his Redial reissues and the Koch indo-jazz one) Jackie McLean - another tough call... Destination Out, probably... Gil Evans - Out of the Cool Stephan Oliva - Cinema (part of the jazz & (e)motion box) Sonny Stitt - Endgame Brilliance (cheating again, but the two albums make a wonderful compilation!) Bennie Wallace - Big Jim's Tango (or the Gershwin album?) Tommy Flanagan - Giant Steps (or Overseas Revisited?) Serge Chaloff - Blue Serge Lester Young - much of his best stuff has not been on "albums"... love all of it, for a pick: the Savoy date with Basie where he does "Blue Lester" Count Basie - difficult again... maybe the Famous Door broadcast on disc 4 of the Columbia boxette) Duke Ellington - another tough one, but I go with those who chose Fargo, too! Albert Mangelsdorff - Now Jazz Ramwong Ianci Körössy - Identification Bobby Hutcherson - Stick Up Larry Young - Unity Bennie Green - Soul Stirrin¨ Dizzy Reece - Star Bright Steve Lacy - tough one again... School Days, Work, or Morning Joy Charlie Parker - the Dial & Savoy sessions - all of them! Lucky Thompson - Tricotism (the trio dates!) Julius Watkins - the BN 10" albums Tadd Dameron - the Café Bohemia live stuff with Navarro, Eager and Rudy Williams! Someone ought to collect all of it and do set!) John Lewis - Private Concert Sacha Distel (w/John Lewis) - Afternoon in Paris Barney Wilen - Moshi (not quite sure, though) Shelly Manne - At the Black Hawk (all volumes) Quote
king ubu Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Nat Adderley - Branching Out Urbie Green - East Coast Jazz/6 Stan Levey - This Time the Drum's on Me Mel Torme - Lulu's Back in Town Chris Connor (the self-titled Atlantic) Jack Teagarden - Think Well of Me (I hardly know his recordings, but this one I love so much, it will be hard to top!) Charlie Persip - & the Jazz Statesmen Eddie Bert - the session with JR Monterose (on Encore & another Bethlehem album, both now on a Freshsound 2CD set) Stanley Turrentine - Live at Minton's Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Alan Shorter - Orgasm (easy pick!) He does have another one as a leader... Quote
paul secor Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) Alan Shorter - Orgasm (easy pick!) He does have another one as a leader... And at least a couple of dates as a sideman. Edited September 10, 2007 by paul secor Quote
