I always seem to grab Alternating Currents by Spiro Gyro. Kind of a 'Happy" album. And well mixed.
Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album?
Just got back into analog after not having a turntable for 38 years. That was a Thorens TD 320. Now I have a VPI. Building a jazz album collection now since jazz seems to be what I enjoy now. I have barely 12 albums from Miles Davis, Art Blakey, King Curtis, Ray Charles, John Coltrane, Ike Quebec and Illinios Jacquet. Can you suggest a must have album? I generally like great sax, and percussion and sometimes a good vocalist, but I am open to anything that sounds GREAT. Also, if there is a particular label, issue or type of album. Thanks in advance.

Fantastic list most in my collection due to posts like these here Chris Connor should be included - she recorded a lot and has many wonderful worthy recordings I would suggest checking out some Eastern European newer jazz bands- especially Polish. Marcil Wasilewski for example another great but not well known in the US is Trio Stendhal from Hungary the guitarist from trio Ferenc Snetberger has many solo albums and they are wonderful. Gabor Szabo would be another long deceased Hungarian jazz guitarist- his fusion of jazz and some gipsy tunes made him very unique Several Croatian and Macedonian guitarist could be added - while not strictly jazz their guitar mastery is world class - Vlatko Stefanovski, Miroslav Tadic and Goran Ivanovic just to name a few. Enjoy the journey and the great music! |
