    Nice list. Don Cherry, so many great albums. The man was not afraid of exploration, The artists of AACM out of Chicago, I've been listening to for years. Oh so many great players. They will take you to places through composition and improv that you would have never expected to go. Too many to name here, all different. Wadada Leo Smith's solo trumpet album Red Sulphur Sky should not be missed. A top ten list filled only with ACCM artists would still be a great list. Creative music at its best.

    Same age as you sir. Lucky to have older brothers too. One of them gave me Phil Woods (Warm Woods) when I was about 14 years old. It is still my favorite.

  • @jerrygoldfarb7739
    @jerrygoldfarb7739 Рік тому +70

    Was lucky enough to see Coltrane, Mingus, Getz, McCoy, Don Cherry (with Old and New Dreams) and Sanders, once with Leon Thomas at the Village Vanguard and with Coltrane in 1966 in Madison, Wisconsin. Pretty impressive vinyl collection.

    • @kennysaudiophilerecordreviews

      I was only six when you saw Coltrane live. How fortunate you were big Bro'! I got heavy into jazz in the early 80's. I'm a big fan of Coltrane too as well as the classic jazz artists, labels, engineers, producers and liner note writers and anybody who just digs jazz! Back in the early 2000's I was fortunate enough to see Dave Brubek at the art festival in Baltimore a few years before he passed on. Dave put on a great performance and he was a awesome human being! Until we see him and other greats who have left us, may The Lord keep him!

    • @jerrygoldfarb7739
      @jerrygoldfarb7739 Рік тому +2

      Helps to be an old MF. A few others I omitted are Dizzy (1st jazz musician ever saw at age 14 or so), Dexter Gordon, Mingus, Lee Morgan (at Slug's where eventually was shot and killed), Jackie McLean, Miles (who played with his back to the audience 75-80% of the time) , the original Weather Report lineup in 1971, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk-also recommend documentary about founders of Blue Note, Alfred Lion and Francis Woolf, "It Must Schwing"-, one of 2 documentaries about Blue Note released in 2018 (the other being Beyond the Notes which I have not seen)

    • @wfberan
      @wfberan 4 місяці тому

      One of the good things about being an old dude is you can look back at the greats you had a chance to see. When I discovered jazz at the age of 16 Coltrane had just died so I never had a chance to see him and that's one of my regrets. Still have an indelible memory of Monk at the Vanguard in 1970, not long before he stopped performing.

  • @paaao
    @paaao Рік тому +8

    Discovering Mingus was huge for me. Ah hum is truly amazing. Many of the tracks still to this day are incredibly challenging to play for top notch musicians, and that refers to playing every instrument, in the original time signature, together.
    Another album rarely mentioned that I found is money jungle. Mingus playing with Duke Ellington and Max Roach. Something about that record gives me the chills everytime it's been a bit since putting it on.

    Great list here Kenny. And like you said, everybody probably has a different one. Sketches of Spain and Kind of Blue by Miles really spoke to me. Charlie Parker, Wes Montgomery, Hebie H, Chick Corea,...Man so many. Long live Jazz. I'm sitting here now listening to, the Last Concert by the Modern Jazz Quartet. Take care all of you Jazz fans.

    Recently started my jazz listening journey, I've been listening to pretty much nothing else now for a month haha. I'm thoroughly enjoying the journey. I never had (or have) people like your brothers who are into jazz, so I have to figure it out by myself. I'm glad to have stumbled upon your video, some of these classics I already know, but I absolutely love McCoy Tyners Fly With The Wind, never heard about him before or this record before. It sounds amazing. Thanks so much for these reccommendations! Looks like you got a splendid record collection. God bless from the Netherlands.

    It's very refreshing to see somebody discussing jazz and talking about their favorite jazz albums . I have a ton of jazz albums at home and my very favorites would have to be early Louis Armstrong or cab calloway or Django Reinhardt. If you want to call that jazz. In my mind it is. Also anything by Artie Shaw because he was a genius on the clarinet. Also anything by Duke Ellington or count Basie with Joe Williams on vocal. 🙏

    Outstanding selections. I knew I was in the right place when you started with Don Cherry. But I've looked at so many top 10 jazz album lists. Almost all include Kind of Blue, for good reason, but I have not seen one that includes Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch. It's an all-star album, and Eric worked his butt off, writing great arrangements and rehearsing like crazy. It is the greatest jazz avant-garde album. Why does everyone leave it off their list? Herbie Hancock! Tony Williams! Bobby Hutcherson! Richard Davis! The rhythm section is out of this world! Put it on your next list!

    Great list, and thank you so much for posting this video. Top Ten lists are always fun, and everybody's list will be different than anybody else's, right? I think I'd be better off trying to do a "Top One Hundred", 'cause I'd fill up ten slots without getting past Miles Davis! 😁 But somewhere in my top 100 would be ... John Coltrane's "Crescent", Duke Ellington and Ray Brown's "This One's for Blanton", Duke Ellington at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1956, Oscar Peterson Trio's "West Side Story" ... so many great albums ... so little time ...

    Wow, that collection behind you is impressive! Always great to 'meet' another jazz fanatic! My list would be very different (I would pick The Koln Concert though), but of course, that doesn't matter. Being 'brothers 'in all thing jazz' is what matters. I would probably include; "The Awakening" - A. Jamal, "Portrait in Jazz" - B. Evans, "Crescent" - J. Coltrane, "Now He Sings....." - C. Corea, "Alfie's Theme" - S. Rollins, "Changes 2" - C. Mingus, etc....

      Hi Kenny
      I really enjoyed your list here. For me, your section felt more idiosyncratic, I mean different from the norm . I have very little knowledge of jazz. I do have a few jazz albums myself, but sadly, I don't know much about the subject. This is undoubtedly because I have dyslexia. So your videos are an education to me, and I would like to thank you for this.

Looking at the difference in all them works just shows you how great Miles really was.
