Desert Island recordings

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.

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.

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.

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

. 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

If I had to choose only 1, it would be Miles Davis - KOB

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.

oops... I meant Inner Mounting Flame and Birds of Fire for Mahavishnu Orchestra. My Goals Beyond is, of course, not a M. Orchestra title, although Cobham and Goodman play on portions of it.
