There's so many good recordings in this list. Great music for most and great sound for some. But I find myself over exposed and burnt on some of these listings. I mean how many times can you hear Getz/Gilberto before blowing chunks?
Ror that reason I'll list some that I don't tire of easily and can keep coming back to over and over again.
Like:
Pat Metheny Group - The Way Up
Pat Metheny - Secret Story
(others to be added later when I have time)
-
James Carter - Chasin' the Gypsy
Hugh Masekela -HOPE

Dawn by Double Image (ECM). A short lived group with such communication. This one has the staying power for me like a Kind of Blue. You can read about it online but obtaining a copy is a whole nuther proposition. You could always come to my house. It's both inventive and beautiful. Near serene, even. More than a quartet in the traditional sense, these guys are a ensemble with mesmerising interplay.
-
1. Miles .Kind of Blue
2.Coltrane,Crescent
3. Hank Mobley,Soulstation
4.Sinatra,Only the Lonely
5.O.Peterson,Night Train

Hejira- That the one with "Furry Sings the Blues"? Her lyrics are positively you-are-there on that. Some of her best painting poetry of a lot of her great painting poetry. Listened to "Only the Lonely" two nights ago fine tuning my system.
-
yes that's the one.Hejira
-
I'd try to get some variety within the small set...
Miles- Sketches of Spain and Kinda Blue
Probably Oscar Peterson- O.P. plays Pretty
Jimmy Smith- Chicken Shack
Something by Ahmad Jamal
Manhattan Jazz Quintet
Some Sidney Bechet
A Buddy Rich / Gene Kruppa shootout
Getz/Gilberto
Maybe some Zoot Sims
Sinatra- Only the Lonely
Scratch Zoot to keep the list to 10

I hope y'all don't mind if I just lurk this thread. :green:
I have tons of jazz but favorites rotate too much to pick just some. I'd need them all, and then some.
So thank YOU for participating! Always on the look out for more. :thumb:

Does this "Desert Island" have electricity?
-
Help!!
I wanted to hear Blossom Dearie's "Bye, Bye, Country Boy" this morning and can't find the CD. I mean like I looked for it with a magnifying glass. Everywhere! Damn. So, I go on Amazon and her album with this song is not featured. I looked for 30 minutes :bawl:. Help! Please! Jazzy guy, all ya'll, please.
Professor Bombard . . if you happen to be reading, I have lost your email address. Must have deleted it accidently. You got this album on your computer or something? Please lemme know plus I can replace your address. Thanks.
Thanks, all.

Jim - not sure which album you're referring to, but that song can be found on the CD "Our Favorite Songs", available at Amazon

Many thanks, Danny. Hardly a sweeter little lament exists.
Later, and I ordered it. It's on a "Best of . . ." newer release. That's bad boy system you have if I've never said so.
-
I have rediscovered this album recently. I have to bring it along with Kind of Blue. Just to have some contrast :D

Does this "Desert Island" have electricity?

Good sounding Jazz recordings with great drum sounds. Enjoy.

Love this CD Play Boy Jazz 001, great music, great musicians, great DSD recording made by the now defunct Concord Jazz, great vocalist, great arrangements by Patrick Williams to the CBS Blonde mini-series, unfortunately released only as a Red Book CD, recommended.

I could type out a lot but if I could take the output of only one Jazz musician to the proverbial desert island, it would be Wayne Shorter's Blue Note recordings.
Next on the list would be the Miles Davis Second Great Quintet box set and the Blue Note recordings of Jackie McLean, Andrew Hill, Bobby Hutcherson and Joe Henderson.
Don't have the energy/patience at the moment to list more, but there are plenty! Maybe Later.
I'm new to Audio Circle and am delighted to discover there's a circle devoted to Jazz.

What StuartK? No Bitches Brew? No Chet? No Chet and Gerry? Whaaat?
-
All these recordings, it not just one album?
(https://www.audiocircle.com/image.php?id=235260)
-
@LesterSleepsIn:
Have never found Chet all that appealing but as the saying goes, "There's no accounting for personal taste".
Bitches Brew? When I'm in the mood, sure but not, for me, a "Desert Island Disc".
I much prefer the Hancock, Shorter, Carter, Williams band -- for me, that group and those compositions strike the perfect balance between inside/outside.
When it comes to bari, I enjoy Serge Chaloff, Gary Smulyan and Nick Brignola.

It's interesting looking back over this old thread. My own list from 10 years ago would change a bit. Probably no Oscar Peterson but lots of Bill Evans. Maybe find a way to include "Uh, Um" by Monk. A Bobby Timmons. An Art Blakey. No Jimmy Smith. No Rich/Kruppa drum shootout. Maybe "Moanin' "
Also, man I really miss ol' JimdGoulding.
