Re: Jazz recommendations???
I just recently got into jazz over the past couple of years. Mostly blue note stuff. Mid 50's to late 60's
Anyway hear are some of my favorites:
George Benson and the Jack Mcduff Quartet "The new boss guitar of George Benson".
- This is the 1st. jazz cd I brought. George benson was like 19 yrs. on this recording and plays like a pro. Great
cd. He's one of my favorite jazz guitarists.
Kenny Burrell "Blue Midnight"- Another great jazz guitarist.
Charlie Christain " The Genius of the electric guitar"-
I think this guy was the first to every play an electric guitar. The music is from like 1930 but this is an great jazz record with so pretty cool riff's in songs like "seven come eleven" and solo flight in b.
Lou Donaldson "Midnight Creeper"- Lou plays alto sax and this is another really good blue note recording with George Benson on guitar.
Thelonius Monk and John Coletrane live at Carnige Hall.
This was just released and is a rare live recording of both jazz giants playing at the top of their game.
