The Right Jazz: Part II

Posted over 5 years ago
A while back I made a post asking all of you lovely Moggers for some Vocal Jazz suggestions, well now I'm back (and quite satisfied, thanks to you ) and ready for more! I'm ready to balance out my Jazz spectrum with some great instrumental stuff, which is where you guys come in.Finals week is just about to start hitting hard so I need some relaxing stuff I can to.Any suggestions?

    RSchaut says I just caught your request for vocalists. I didn't see Tierney Sutton mentioned there, so I thought I'd mention her here. Not knowing what's in your collection already, it's hard for me to know where to start. The jazz field is so broad. So, I'll just list a few albums that should be in any reasonable jazz collection: 1) Kind of Blue, Miles Davis. The definitive cool jazz album--what improvisational jazz is all about. Find a release that's been remastered, and read the liner notes. 2) Jazz at Massey Hall, The Quintet. Dizzy Gillespie, Charlier Parker, Max Roach, Bud Powell and Charlie Mingus. Many consider this the best live jazz album ever. 3) A Love Supreme, John Coltrane. A masterpiece by one of the brightest stars in the jazz frimament. 4) Time Out, The Dave Brubeck Quartet. Brubeck's masterful excursion into different rhythms. 5) Body and Soul, Coleman Hawkins. While Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk pionered Be Bop, Coleman Hawkins was the finger pointing to the moon. This album is a solid perspective on Hawkins' career. That should be a good start. When you're ready to stretch out a little more: 6) Thelonious Monk: Live at the 1964 Monterey Jazz Festival, Thelonious Monk; and 7) At Newport (Verve Live), Dizzy Gillespie. Dizzy Gellspie's second great big band in top form, recorded in 1957.
