OK ... to embed url, select the "chain" image to the right of the emoji image at the top of the audiogon text box. 

A Link box will open, where you can paste the url.

The url for the Trumpet Summit video:

No problem! My thinking, in making such a distinction, was simply that live recordings can provide a sense of being "with the musicians, in the club", as the music is unfolding, moment-to-moment. I don’t regard live recordings as inherently superior, but they can offer a greater sense of "immediacy".

I don’t know how to insert an image -- it used to happen automatically, when the url was typed but that changed at some point. I’m afraid my computer skills are elementary at best!

I will look for the trumpet recording you mentioned and see if I can find any live Turre recordings.

 

I apologize...

I realize i miss the point...

😊

I dont distinguish between live or in studio, apart for the different soundfield in the recording process...

My best live jazz recording or i must say my favorite live recording is this one :

 

How do we insert an image ?

It does not work anymore it seems ?

Anyway title : "trumpet summit philarmonie de Paris 2016 " very entertaining live recording of 4 trumpet masters with Cohen and Harrell and two french one.. The "live" aspect make this album shine... 2 hours of perfect pleasure...

 

For Turre i had many albums and i dont remember which one is live or if one is live.. Sorry ... All his albums are more than good...

Well, OK but given just how many live recordings Jarrett has released, odds are no-one has heard them all. ;o)

There aren’t as many live Miles releases (definitely not hundreds) but the "Bootleg Series" has certainly increased their number.

I don’t know why Harrell isn’t better known. Or Charles Tolliver, for that matter. I haven’t heard any live Harrell recordings. Have you? We’re focusing on live releases, here. Accordingly, can you suggest a live Steve Turre recording you like?

@drbb 

I'm familiar with the Jarrett but will check out the other two you've mentioned. 

@bigtwin 

They also did a second, 2 CD release: "Trilogy 2".

Steve Turre... Because he is underscored as trombonist master ..

Why writing Keith Jarrett... everybody know him...😊 I had one hundred albums of him...

Junko Onishi who know her ? Original unique pianist...

I will not say Miles Davis or Chet Baker... everybody know them..

Tom Harrell is interesting and way less known..or Avishai Cohen at the trumpet

etc...Or Larry Goldings with Peter bernstein...

Walt Dickerson is a musical magician who know him  ? Buy the two albums he make with Sun Ra and call that a great day in jazz...

Pat Bianchi with another master Pat Martino...one of my favorite albums of Jazz..."Formidable" at the same level than "kind of blue!"...

Buy the album of Ed Cherry at the guitar : "It s all good"... A perfect musical cake...

Etc

My list will be way too long...😊

 

 

+1 for Joe Henderson State of The Tenor.  One more favorite is Chick Corea Trio "Trilogy"  3 CD set of Corea, Christian McBride and Brian Blades.  The sound quality of this collection puts most studio recording to shame.  

Great list of live jazz recordings. There are quite a few on the list I need to check out. Here are several I really like:

Keith Jarrett: The Köln Concert (Live at the Opera, Köln, 1975), (ECM)

Bill Charlap Trio: Live at the Village Vanguard, (Blue Note)

Dave Brubeck Quartet: The Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall. (Columbia)
