Recommend Some Jazz Albums

[slickpoppa]

I am in the mood for jazz, but all I have is My Favorite Things by Coltrane, which I love. So please suggest some albums along the same lines.

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue

Those links are 9GB worth of Coltrane.

Great stuff, there isn't much chaff in there.

Cannonball Adderly - Something Else
Miles Davis - Relaxing, Steaming , Working, Cooking
Lee Morgan - The Sidewinder

[MrWookie47]

If you like MFT because it's off beat from regular (4/4) jazz, look up Dave Brubeck's Take Five. If you want some just spectacular jazz that's been knocking my socks of lately, I'd recommend:

Louis Armstrong - The Complete Hot Fives and Hot Sevens Collection
Duke Ellington - Masterpieces 1926-1949
Gene Harris - The Best of the Concord Years
Various Aritists - For Dancers Only!

[JaBlue]

Maynard Ferguson - The essence of maynard ferguson
Wes Montgomery - Incredible Jazz Guitar
Barney Kessel - It's a Blue World
Charles Mingus - Blues and Roots
Charlie Parker - Jazz 'Round Midnight
Chops - Chops II [I know the band leader who is awesome and the group is very good - good luck finding it though]
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong did some recording together, so find whatever album it is that they cut

[StevieG]

nice list so far

"Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington"
