Top 10 Jazz recordings ever

Agree with Learsfool.

Top 10 ever... I don't know. Sorry, I don't listen to much vocal jazz, but instrumental greats:

"Paris Blues" Horace Silver
"Lush Life" John Coltrane
"Maiden Voyage" Herbie Hancock
"Standard Coltrane" John Coltrane
"Speak No Evil" Wayne Shorter

Must Have Box Sets:
"Miles Davis Quintet 1965-1968(this was the 2nd great quintet) Box Set/ excellent quality recordings, and a huge bargain at current prices! (6 CD set)

"Complete Columbia Recordings 1955-1961 Miles Davis and John Coltrane;" This will get you the "must have" "Kind of Blue" session too. Box Set is a huge bargain at current prices! (6 CD set)

Must Haves:
"Tenor Madness" Sonny Rollins
"Saxophone Collosus" Sonny Rollins
"Way Out West" Sonny Rollins
"The Sound of Sonny" Sonny Rollins

Seems Shirley Horn always gets mentioned here when best jazz female vocalist come up. As female vocalist go, I've never liked the tonal quality of her voice. Too deep, heavy and not that feminine. She seems to talk her lyrics too much as well.

I hear ya! Newbee...

Orpheus10 and Grimace, where are you?
