My first jazz record was Herbie Hancock Maiden Voyage. I also recommend anything by Horace Silver. Larry Young Into Somethin. Its also phenomenal its organ, guitar and saxophone. Grant Green plays guitar. Its easy to get into and relaxing.
I’ve been collecting jazz since the 1970s and have way too many records and CDs, but I really enjoyed your list! It gave me some great suggestions for a bunch of records to,pull out that I haven’t listened to in a while to play. Thanks. Keep it up. Also try Bill Evans Waltz for Debby or Live at the Village Vanguard. Both recorded at the same gig, unbelievable sound quality too.
@@TheFraudiophile Try this one: The contemporary reissue of Shelley Mann and his men line at the Blackhawk vol 1. Great jazz, excellent reissue quality too.
Great selections by you and the commenters. As a guitar lover, I would add Mahavishinu Orchestra, "Inter Mounting Flame" and Carlos Santana / John Mclaughlin "Love Devotion Surrender". These were an entre into a new genre!
LOVE your channel name! This is a great list - I would maybe change a couple here or there - but for the most part - solid. I am a huge Grant Green fan and I also like a lot of Organ driven Jazz - so maybe throw in a John Patton for the Chat Baker - but I have all of these and they are great! Herbie Hancock is my favorite!
For years I’ve been saying: “If I had a dollar for every time I listened to Kind Of Blue, I’d be a fairly wealthy man!” I’ve been a lover of jazz music for years, but lately, I’m finding it’s all I want to listen to. Always looking to hear new sounds and learn about new artists! Thanks for the upload!
U aint no fraud Try ECM I have Eberhsrd Weber Azimuth John Taylor Ralph Towne John Abercrombie Rubisa Patrol Mark Isham also Oregon Icarus see if any of those float your boat I like bop hard bop and post bop Ellington MJQ Hubbard even Benson and Dexter Gordon and Thelonious
Love the video man! Greets from the Netherlands. I may not be a jazz expert (more of a reggae fanatic) but I do listen to it quite often. As for myself, I have a few favourites you might be interested in. Stanley Turrentine & The Three Sounds "Blue Hour", Jimmy Smith "Back at the Chicken Shack", Charles Mingus "Mingus Ah Um" -well I could go on :-) I think any serious jazz collection, or music collection for that matter, should have John Coltrane "A Love Supreme", in my opinion the best record ever made. Keep up the good work, mate. Just subscribed!
So many good jazz albums do not know where to begin. Certainly could not argue with the recommedations. Too many top 10 lists to know where to begin, several of your picks would not be on my top ten lists, but nonetheless, excellent recommendations.
Your voice sounds like John Lithgow! Great review thanks Been listening to Jazz since about 73 When people told me Jerry and Duane listened to Miles and Trane I was in! Yes Dead Head here…..a band that has many jazz roots and underpinnings
All top notch stuff. For me Miles is King. I use to buy a lot of jazz but slowed it down tremendously as prices keep going up. 75% of the time when I listen to jazz it’s Miles from 68-73, his electric years
New subscriber! A few surprise picks but love all of them. Thank you for including "Time Out" as it is one of my favorites. I also really enjoy "Little Girl Blue" by Nina Simone, "Getz/Gilberto" by Stan Getz, "At Last" by Etta James, "A Love Supreme" by John Coltrane, and "Mingus Ah Um" by Charles Mingus
@@TheFraudiophile well you have a fine collection. I’m just like you; got into jazz late but I’m having fun learning. I’ll be listening to the ones you recommended all week
I do not. These are all records I have purchased over the last few years. Many of these are the best selling and most well known jazz records, so you may see some duplications on top 10 lists.
My music reflects my moods. I can play jazz anytime. If I watch the news and see what our cretins we call politicians are up to I reach straight for my Best of Black Sabbath!
Solid List!! Maiden Voyage is another good album by Herbie Hancock!! Definitely a top 5 for me. Bill Evans live at Town Hall is must! Probably my favorite jazz piano based album
If i were starting a jazz collection I would have at least one by Armstrong, Ellington, Parker and Monk. That would be for someone starting to learn the history of jazz I guess. But all your choices are excellent.
@@TheFraudiophile I soon will have published an article on an audiophile site on Monk, my favorite jazz musician I talk about his whole career and give album recommendations. When it's posted I will send you the link. Thanks!
@@TheFraudiophileTry Blue Monk, Prestige version. Trío: Monk on piano, Percy Heath on bass and Art Blakey on drums. It’s perfection. Cheers. Your selection is very, very good.
