My first Keith Jarrett was a beat-up copy of...

Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette.

[carnivore]

Too many dead ends....maybe the idea needs another/more element/s...like perhaps 'My first recording' of one of the compositions on the previous album? Or 'my first recording' with solos by one of the sidemen on the album.

[JohnS]

An early Jarrett purchase was Expectations. Two lp set on Columbia. With Dewey Redman, Sam Brown, Charlie Haden, Paul Motian and Airto Moreira.

[Dan Gould]

Didn't keep it but this was my first Haden:

It opens up places but nowhere I've been.

And let's say up front that no one can go with Linda Rondstadt!

[carnivore]

First Sheila Jordan - 'Portrait of Sheila' - Blue Note with Barry Galbraith, Steve Swallow and Denzil Best

with Charnett Moffett and Terri Lyne Carrington

[mjzee]

I'm going to punt: my first album with Terri Lyne Carrington was:

Also with Johnny Vidacovich, Don Grolnick and Anthony Cox.
