aparxa Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Lots of great recommendations here. I would only add: Duke Ellington---Piano Reflections Sun Ra---Monorails and Satellites Piano Reflections, as Piano in the foreground or Money Jungle are all great Ellington's CD but in trio format if I remember well.

Kalo Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 The Monk Vogue recordings are very special to me. In college I listened to them over and over, and they provided a great window into the world of Monk's music . There's an incredible amount of invention within the structures of the tunes, not least in the flexible but swinging pulse, which pleases me far more than the rhythmic ellipses of his later solos, which I admire more than love. And one of my favorite discoveries of the past few years is Willie "The Lion" Smith's Music on My Mind, a 1960s solo session from the Jazz in Paris series.

True, but compared to big band, that's practically solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
