AndrewHill Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 If I had to choose, I'd pick Albert Ayler's "Holy Ghost" off of Live in Greenwich Village: The Complete Impulse Recordings; it still knocks me sideways everytime I hear it.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Elvin Jones 'Pretty Brown' would be one of 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Concierto De Aranjuez, the title track from Jim Hall's C.T.I. album Concierto. Featured on this track are Paul Desmond, Chet Baker and Roland Hanna. It may get as good as this but it doesn't get any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Monk: 'Round Midnight' in progress. 21' 55". I can hear Monk's thoughts. Monk...oh, jeez; now you've given me doubts. Can I change my vote? Several hundred times, no doubt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papsrus Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Picking a favorite performance is too difficult for me. But I'll be revisiting some of the tracks mentioned here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Highly predictable but I think I'd go for 'Blue in Green' off Kind of Blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
save0904 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'd go for 'Part 15' off Keith Jarrett's Radiance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.L.M Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 INDIA from Coltrane at the Village Vanguard. First thing I ever heard from him in the early seventies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hard to choose, but Pres' solo on "I Must Have That Man" with Billie and Teddy Wilson in 1937 would be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Hard to choose, but Pres' solo on "I Must Have That Man" with Billie and Teddy Wilson in 1937 would be my choice. Just Pres' solo? Billie's vocals on that one are equally incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Tapscott Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 Charlie Parker - Now's the Time (the Verve recording) - in my view, the ultimate jazz solo - spontaneous obviously, but a perfectly formed and logical story ending with a climactic phrase which Bird has already hinted at earlier in the solo - exciting, memorable and even singable, everything you could want in 3 blues choruses - the product of a brilliant musical mind.
