Hey everybody, what's your favorite Jazz record? That's a pretty tough one to narrow down. Perhaps a top 5 or top 10 list is more in order. Cheers, deepgrooveguru.
It is a seriously tough one to narrow down. The positions are always changing... Dave Holland "Extensions" Mingus "Blues and Roots" Miles "Kind of Blue", "Workin" too. Coltrane "Live @ Birdland" "Africa brass" as well. And about 7500 others.
Genius+Soul=Jazz Ray Charles w/Count Basie Orchestra - Quincy Jones Arrangements - Featuring Clark Terry on trumpet Originally on Impulse Label Recorded 1960 Amazing album!!
Like one of the guys above "Blues And Roots by Mingus is a great album. "Black Saint" by Mingus is essential as well. But it has to be beween "A Love Supreme" and "Karma" by Pharaoh Sanders.
