M. Ward – Transistor Radio

Talking Heads – More Songs About Buildings And Food

Dave Mason - S/T

@dayglow No offense intended. I enjoy many other albums including  3/4, and don't doubt their talent, but that flute style just doesn't do it for me. Cheers

A great compilation series, especially for jazz beginners looking to spread their wings a bit...Milestone Twofers...highlights of Riverside/Prestige/Milestone releases

Everyone talks about his other Live LP but this in-studio live recording is also fantastic.

@corelli One of the greatest artists, piano compositions and venue. Ormandy & NY Phil. not too shabby either! Easily worth ~$5 for anybody stumbling upon a copy. 

LA4 – Live At Montreux  This might be the jazz flute album that inspired Ron Burgundy's parody. Good recording of some stinky cheese.

Herbie Hancock – The Prisoner ( Blue Note 75th Anniversary)

 

Diving deep into my Coltrane stack today:

Black Pearls

Soultrane

Ballads

With The Red Garland Trio - Traneing In

Africa

Richard Thompson - Still. Fantasy 2LP 45rpm. 2015

Great album! Saw him play it live unaccompanied. He opened for much of Wilco's tour that year, after Tweedy produced Still. 

Thompson's live SBD recordings are plentiful pirate treats, too.

It's desert island jazz workday:

Roland Kirk - The Inflated Tear

Bill Evans Trio - Waltz For Debby

Monk & Coltrane Quartet - Live at Carnegie Hall

Oscar Trio - Night Train

Wayne Shorter - The All Seeing Eye (might be my fav Tone Poet release, Herbie's brilliant on this)

Bach - Janos Starker – Suites For Unaccompanied Cello Complete
Speakers Corner / Mercury

Mahler* – Reiner* / Chicago Symphony* – Symphony No. 4 (Classic Records)

I swear I heard angels on side 2!

@tomic601 thanks, I'll be happy finding either JJ version. 

Too bad Aimee's new one is analog-hampered. I'm hoping she does a full album collab w/Phoebe Bridgers. Check out their video. 

Brahms /  Heifetz, Piatigorsky, Wallenstein Conducting RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra ‎– Brahms Concerto For Violin And Cello (RCA Living Stereo) My favorite of a number of recent classical bin dive purchases

The Cleveland Orchestra / George Szell – Symphony No. 7 In C Major
(Epic) 

Milt Jackson - Barney Wilen - Percy Heath - Kenny Clarke – Jazz Sur Seine
(Sam Records)

Low – Trust

Jackson Browne – Downhill From Everywhere

Christian McBride & Inside Straight – Kind Of Brown

Thelonious Monk And Gerry Mulligan – Mulligan Meets Monk (Riverside)

@slaw Which Low? I've been playing them a lot lately. Plenty of AAA reissues of some of their early LPs around.

Gillian Welch & David Rawlings – All The Good Times (Are Past & Gone)
(Acony Records)

 

I'll see your Schubert and raise you a Schubert. Funny, I was flipping to side 2, then saw your post, James.

 

Jangly goodness! Any fans of Big Star, REM and the like need to listen to the DBs. An under-appreciated influential band. Holsapple & Stamey's later live shows are also great (hint to Pirates).
