Don't laugh, but Manilow came out with a jazz album featuring a LOT of guest singers and instrumentalists...notably Gerry Mulligan on baritone sax and duets with Sarah Vaughn and The Velvet Fog. I give you 2:00 AM Paradise Cafe... Title cut... If memory serves, this album was cut live in one...ONE...take. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Too many to mention. I don't have a favorite. Most of Coltrane's stuff, Sonny Rollins' stuff. Herbie Hancock in the 60s and early 70s, Weather Report, Mingus, the list goes on. I don't think a jazz fan has a favorite album. | |||

Indeed, and don’t shy from new stuff. Even Queen Latifa did an album of standards that was quite good. Diana Krall and Melody Gardot are current faves. -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. JALLEN 10/18/18 https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...610094844#7610094844 | |||

"Take Five" is already spoken for so "Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert" comes in second for me. Another one I kept going back to either by choice or request back when the turn table was always spinnin'... Mal Waldron Trio, "Free At Last" ______________________ Live free or die... Don't tread on me... Molon Labe... Take your pick. | |||

I'm not that knowledgeable about modern jazz, bUt I am knowledgeable about film, and my favorite jazz score from any film is Miles Davis' sparse 26 minutes of music for Louis Malle's precursor to the French New Wave- Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud (Elevator to the Gallows) Here's a clip of Davis recording the sound track in a Paris studio at 3 in the morning. As the story goes, Davis improvised all of it. Louis Malle appears briefly at the end of the clip. Here's the entire sound track. I wish it were longer. This has better sound quality than in the previous clip. ____________________________________________________ "I am your retribution." - Donald Trump, speech at CPAC, March 4, 2023 | |||

Coltrane. Blue Train. Listen to it regularly. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

Miles Davis, Kind of Blue. Kenny Burrell's Midnight Blue would probably be a close second. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." Sherlock Holmes | |||

This thread is pure gold! My goto album is Cannonball Adderley's Something Else. Plenty of others, i'm a big fan of piano sax duets. 0-0 "OP is a troll" - Flashlightboy, 12/18/20 | |||

Limited experience with jazz but had a few albums I remember, Gil Evans: Out of the Cool Jimmy Smith: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? | |||

Hold Fast |
Since my #1 Kind of Blue has been mentioned I would suggest John Coltrane's The Complete Africa/Brass sessions' ****************************************************************************** Never shoot a large caliber man with a small caliber bullet . . . | |||

Miles Davis' Kind of Blue is my single favorite jazz album, nothing comes close. I listen to it at least 2-3 times a month. His Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud album is a current favorite. Benny Goodman's Live at Carnegie Hall is another one I listen to often. One not mentioned that I listen to regularly is Duke Ellington (with Charles Mingus and Max Roach) Money Jungle. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Yes, way too hard to isolate. I can name a few but there are many more: Al Di Meola - Land of the Midnight Sun Chroma - Music on the Edge Eric Johnson - Ah Via Musicom Grover Washington Jr - Feels So Good Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien, Flying in a Blue Dream Mike Davis - all of them .... and this is only the tip of the iceberg | |||

This site's list is from Downbeat magazine, which has long been a great place to start (even though destroyhead can't spell poll): https://rateyourmusic.com/list..._year__critics_pole/ However it only goes back to 1965 and many of the finest predate 1965. I have very many of them. | |||
