List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings

I look forward to exploring the listings above. 

For me currently:

Clyde McCoy And His Orchestra:  Sugar Blues

Charles Mingus:  Pithecanthropus Erectus

Dave Brubeck:  How High The Moon from Young Lions Old Tigers, the vocals by Jon Hendricks are magical. 

Just a few that come to mind. 

It’s funny,  most of the time I’m not a fan of live albums because they rarely sound as good as the studio albums.  But when it comes to most Jazz albums, I love them.  Even Billy Cobham, Stratus, Live!

Elvin Jones - Live at Pookie’s Pub

Great sounding live recording, including the clubs out of tune upright piano. 

Jeff Beck’s "Live at Ronnie Scott’s" is more on the Fusion end of Jazz with some R&R and R&B thrown in. It’s a fabulous testament to his ability to play guitar, especially with a great band featuring Tal Wilkenfeld on bass and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. The DVD version is fun to watch too.  

Thanks for all the suggestions -- keep 'em comin' !

Yeah; me too.

I’ll have to check out that J. Redman.

@markmoskow

I wish I’d bought the Mosaic Charles Tolliver box set before it went out of print!

I love the studio albums by the Miles group with Wayne but I actually prefer the live recordings of the group before Wayne replaced George Coleman.

If you haven’t already, check out the "companion" to McCoy’s "Passion Dance" -- "Counterpoints: Live in Tokyo".

I like both Cedar Walton and Clifford Jordan and will seek out the album you mention.

@rmdmoore

"Full House" is another excellent live Wes album with W. Kelly.

Lots of (to me) unfamiliar artists on your list-- will check them out.
