Aggie87 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) I find this thread to be very telling. It tells me we all have diffferent tastes, likes, dislikes, and things we have not yet discovered. Nothing wrong with that! We have certain likes and dislikes and priorities when it comes to purchasing music that are reflective of who we are as people and how we view the world. Nothing at all wrong with that. It's just insightful is all...sometime predictably so. So if Person A is lacking in Sun Ra, does that tell you something about the person that's different from Person B, who may not have begun exploring Red Norvo? And tell you something that reflects who they are as people and how they view the world? edit - and do these assumptions pertain only to people in red and blue states, or world wide?

jazzbo Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Tj, I'm so happy for you! Erroll is a delight that I took too long finding myself. Quote
neveronfriday Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 I confeess ! Up to last week I haven't had any Erroll Garner in my collection ...but now I have Cheers, Tjobbe One of the best, and sadly ignored by the majors. Most of the stuff I have (20 discs or so) comes from various cheap-o labels. Quote
(BB) Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 I'm still finding holes I didn't know I had. Recently found Hal McKusick - Jazz workshop (can't put my finger on what it is that makes this different from so much other w.coast that I listen to once and then file in the basement, but this has been getting a spin a couple times a week for quite a while) In a batch of vinyl from Chuck Leo Smilth - Spirit Catcher God, what a beautiful album. As I said before, more holes than time and money, but for me that's the fun of it. Bill Quote
Big Al Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) No Armstrong* No Ornette* No Dizzy* No Bird* No Nessa records No Cecil No Mingus (except Money Jungle)* No Trane Impulse* No Dolphy No Max (except Money Jungle)* Very little Basie Only one Bud disc (Time Flies on BN) My taste in jazz is about as conservative and boring as I am. Just call me the president of Blue Note-aholics Anonymous. *Means I had a disc or two, but traded/sold it. Edited October 27, 2006 by Big Al Quote
Larry Kart Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 I'm still finding holes I didn't know I had. Recently found Hal McKusick - Jazz workshop (can't put my finger on what it is that makes this different from so much other w.coast that I listen to once and then file in the basement, but this has been getting a spin a couple times a week for quite a while) Bill Geographically, McKusick's Jazz Workshop is a wholly east coast record, though it's certainly not a hard bop blowing date. BTW, if you're curious about about McKusick would sound in a less-arranged setting, check out his "Triple Exposure (OJC), where the rhythm section is Eddie Costa, Paul Chambers, and Charlie Persip. Especially interesting for Chambers fans; he's captured with exceptional clarity. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 No JOS No Horace Silver 1 Blakey (not a Messengers, though) Quote

But I've no Nessa; Cecil; Dolphy; No Max (except Money Jungle);one 78 of Basie (is that more derisory than having nowt at all?); only one Bud (Bud!). MG Quote
chris Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 Which of these are you most surprised to see on the list? I find it almost impossible to believe that anyone can listen to jazz and have no Parker! Similarly Mingus, Davis, and Ellington... and Miles? But the real surprose to me is the repetition of Art Pepper and Chet Baker! Quote
sidewinder Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 No Horace Silver 1 Blakey (not a Messengers, though) Absolutely unforgiveable ! Quote
sidewinder Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 1 Blakey (not a Messengers, though) One of Hank's Blue Notes? 'Art Blakey Big Band' on Bethlehem? Quote

I mean, I would think Louis, Dizzy, Parker -- those would be about as "conservative" as one could get in the jazz establishment anyway! Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 Although my jazz record collection mostly focuses on 1930 to 1960 (ca.) recordings (with all styles represented fairly evenly), I plead guilty to owning - only ONE John Coltrane ("Blue Train") - NONE of Oscar Peterson's recordings for Verve released under his OWN name (both cases of "you can always buy them anytime anywhere anyhow once you have explored all those rarer items that may be deletde lamost faster than they were released") Quote
