My first Jazz cd

Here is my wisdom:
Whoever sais that one album is recorded better than the other album you shouldn't pay attention for it. You should only pay attention on how you like this music first. Otherwise you might be in the situation when you will play a small part of fantastically recorded CD or record, realize that it sounds very good, but then you would switch it for something that turns you up for real and let it be not as good recorded.

And finally who knows -- maybe you won't like jazz at all?

BTW: what kind of music have you been listening always?
That can give me idea to tell you precisely what you might like since Jazz has lots of kinds as well.

I've huge jazz collection that I've started 7 years ago.
I knew pretty much about Chet Baker, Charlie Parker, Jerry Mulligan etc... But I could listen to them on the radio and that was good enough for me.

My first jazz records were Chick Corea's -- Mad Hatter, Lary Corryel -- 11 House, Carla Bley -- European tour 1977.

This jazz is different from traditional jazz of Charlie Parker and has some "rock flavours" once in a while.

I've been motivated for jazz by listening Frank Zappa that always had "jazz flavours" in his rock.
