What do you guys think the best BB King album is? How about Buddy Guy and Dr. John?
I already have BB King - Live At The Regal so what would be his next best album? |
Mingus is good, but my favorite by him is "Oh Yeah". He actually plays piano on it... fun, bombastic stuff. Not subtle at all; which I like, because I find most Jazz to be boring.

Gris-Gris is a unique, mysterious album of Dr. J. at his best. The albums that came immediately after ( Babylon, Remedies, The Sun,Moon and Herbs ) never quite recaptured the same magic - you could probably pick up their best tracks on a "Best of.." collection instead. Don`t know too much about his later stuff, I`m afraid. |
Hey guys, I'm relatively new to Jazz/Blues and I was wondering which artists I should pursue, I'll list the ones I've already researched:
Miles Davis Howlin' Wolf John Coltrane Billie Holiday Sonny Rollins Bill Evans (my favourite so far) Nat Adderly |
Alec:
I really highly recommend Eric Dolphy's album, Out To Lunch. It does definitely fall under more experimental jazz than anything, but it remains a very melodic and accessible album to those who've not had much experience listening to jazz. Here's the track "Hat and Beard" from the album: Herbie Hancock is also a really good artist to look into. Butterfly: And if you've an interest in looking into free jazz, or even a little bit of different jazz at all, some artists I highly recommend: Peter Brotzmann Ornette Coleman Albert Ayler (may be my personal favorite at the moment) Sun Ra Archie Shepp Pharaoh Sanders Django Reinhardt (One of the best jazz guitarists you're likely to hear) Charles Mingus (BRILLIANCE) Jaco Pastorius (He and Mingus are fabulous bassists, and well worth a listen) Donald Byrd |

Thanks to both of you for your reccomendations, I'll be spending the night going through them. Satchmo you're right man, I've no clue why I included the Doobie Brothers in that list, I was just typing the names of the artists whose albums I had bought the other day, all were Jazz/Blues apart from them.
ThePhanastasio - I'm really liking Herbie Hancock, I'm listening to his songs on Youtube, which albums of his would you recommend? Satchmo - I've got that album downloading now, it features Bill Evans who I adore at the moment so I'm sure I'll like it, if so I'll go out and buy it later in the week. Cheers again both of you. |
For Herbie Hancock, my favorites are probably:
An Evening with Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea Head Hunters Speak Like A Child Future Shock River In that order, I believe. |

I'm looking for an album or two that's somewhat similar to Sun Ra's earlier, more conventional work (i.e. Jazz in Silhouette, Visits Planet Earth, etc).

^ Yea... both of those videos sound great (especially the first one). Thanks.

This Benny Carter/Dizzy Gillespie album is somewhere in that ilk http://jazzcdsplus.yolasite.com/reso...izzy%20inc.jpg Do you have Traneing In by John Coltrane? Great album. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...TraneingIn.jpg How about J Mood by Wynton Marsalis? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi.../c1/J_Mood.jpg |
Terje Rypdal/ Miroslav Vitous/ Jack DeJohnette
http://ecmreviews.files.wordpress.co...dejohnette.jpg Track 1: Sunrise Track 2: Den Forste Sne Track 3: Will Track 4: Believer Track 5: Flight Track 6: Seasons So I mentioned this album a few pages back asking if anyone can recommend any albums in a similar vein. Firstly if you haven't heard the album I highly recommend it. There are a few more tracks on YouTube but I couldn't link them here due to embedding being disabled. Once you have heard the album let me know if there is anything you recommend. |
J.J.Johnson - king of jazz trombone.

I have found a Terje Rypdal album called Waves from the same era but I still feel that the Rypdal/Vitous/DeJohnette album stands out as something unique. From the same era and lable Solstice by Ralph Towner sounds pretty good. There is also a follow up to the Rypdal/Vitous/DeJohnette album called To Be Continued that features material recorded in the same sessions as the original album but again the original album really has the stand-out tracks. Anyone taken the time to listen to it? Really interested in some feed back. iTunes |

So, I really want to like Bill Evans. I absolutely love his work on Kind of Blue, especially on 'Blues in Green' and 'Flamenco Sketches'. But, most of his solo work I've listened to is just too... upbeat. Those introverted ballads on Kind of Blue are absolutely stunning, but I can't seem to find the same type of stuff in his solo work. Any suggestions/answers?

I love how you take your time to do all these postings :D
I'm not sure if this has already been posted, but the Black Keys have an EP of covered blues songs from Junior Kimbrough. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._Kimbrough.jpg In my opinion it's the best thing they ever did, even though I love their own music. Really worth while if you're into blues :). Enjoy :) |

I have Junior Kinbrough`s album "All Night Long" and I like the Black Keys, so this ought to be a win win for me! I will defiantly be checking this out! |

I'm not much for piano duels in general, much less in the genre of jazz, but this is simply amazing:
