i started collecting jazz about 5 years ago with oscar peterson's(piano)trio playing "we get requests". when i wanted to expand beyond peterson, i looked at who was playing in his group, ie. ray brown. they i tried ray brown, ad infinitum. i enjoy and recommend artists playing standards, or interpertations of standards, such as scott hamilton, roy hargrove, charlie haden, fred hersch, as well as the oldies such as bill evans and stan getz. enjoy...
My first Jazz cd
I would really like to try some Jazz but I dont know where to start. I was thinking of the Time Life series. I thought that it would let my audtion many different artist at once and give me a chance to get a feel for what I like.
Does that set have a good selection of music? How is the recording quality? Any other suggestions are more then appreciated.
