I'm wondering if you jazz cats could give me some recommendations.
My favorite jazz albums of all time are A Love Supreme by Coltrane and Empyrean Isles by Herbie Hancock. I love 1960's jazz of that type and want to get into more because that playing is just inspiring. The sound, the expression, technicality, the feeling. Any recommendations for that kind of style? I prefer quartets. Thanks!
I could recommend some of my favorites
Wynton Kelly - at midnight
Ahmad Jamal trio - at the Pershing
Art Farmer quartet - to sweden with love
Sonny Clark - Sonny's crib
Dizzy Gillespie - Sonny side up
Chick Corea - now he sings now he sobs
Eric Dolphy - out to lunch
Jackie McLean - lights out
- Vertigo
- one step beyond
Herbie Hancock - empyrean isles
Freddie Hubbard - hub-tones
Duke Ellington - money jungle
Sonny Rollins - freedom suite
- a night at the Village Vanguard
- saxophone colossus
Joe Henderson - in 'n out
Larry Young - unity
Wayne Shorter - juju
-spaek no evil
- night dreamer
Thelonious Monk - Monks dream
- criss cross
- big band and quartet in concert
McCoy Tyner - the real McCoy
- reaching fourth
- inception
Art Farmer - eleven
I could really go on all day ....but that could keep you busy for a while
and if you enjoy A Love Supreme ....check out Giant Steps , Coltrane , and all his other records
