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.
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!
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)
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.
Hello Kenny, thank you for sharing I love your channel and discover lots of good music! allow me to put my top 10! greetings from France! -Miles Davis, kind of blue -Dave Brubeck Quartet, Time Out -Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillepsy, Bird & Diz -Jaques Loussier, Play Bach -Miles Davis, Ascenseur pour l'échafaud -Chet Baker, Sings -John Coltrane, A Love Supreme -the thelonious monk quartet Monk's Dream -Miles Davis, In A Silent Way -Art Blakey, Moanin'
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.
Cheers from a fellow 62 year old! My dad is in his 90's and is all about jazz. My knowledge is nothing compared to him. I was just asking him about Kenny Dorham and he have me a breakdown.
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.
A wonderful list Some of my favorites (began listening 1948). Ahmad Jamal At the Pershing. Relaxing with .Miles .... Chet Baker in Japan ..... Getz in Stockholm .... Jazz Impressions of USA by Dave Brubeck ..... Chico Hamilton Modern Jazz (with Cello ) ..... Charlie Parker - Dial Recordings .... Bill Evans / Cannonball recording ... Gerry Mulligan Paris Concert and June Christy Something Cool.
Im blessed to have some of those selections in my collection...I like that you mentioned June Christy, great singerv😊..thank you very much for watching my video 😊
Love your list and Karma is an album out of this world. When I first heard it i was like a new man, i could not sleep at night. My favorite John Coltrane album is Cresent Moon, love more the L.S. and Coleman's Shape of Jazz to Come is my favorite of his. Don Carry amazing. I'ma check this fly with the wind. Probably I'm Sleeping on it. ❤❤
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.
Great to see choices here that are not just the obvious classics or records that are being pushed by reissue labels, your love of the music comes across loud and clear! Sending you all the best from Dublin Ireland!
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.
The sidewinder - Lee Morgan. Kulu sé mama - Coltrane. Far East suite - Ellington. Open Sesame - Freddie Hubbard. Brown rice - Don Cherry. Jazz samba - getz/byrd. Pihtecantropus erectus - monk. Live at Saint-Germain - blakey/jazz messengers. Masada live (1995) - John Zorn/ Masada (blue cover). Miles Davis and Gil Evans orchestra, live at Carnegie hall.
I'm soon gonna check all of those you mentioned that I haven't heard it, but my all-time favorite album (of every genre) has to be the black saint and the sinner lady, by charles mingus! Music was not the same for me after listening to this masterpiece. It is pure excitement from beginning to end.
top ten time ! great list, great artists and some lesser known lps ! here's one (without the already mentioned ones) : Sonny Rollins What's new Max Roach We insist (w/ Abbey Lincoln) Albert Ayler New grass Hadouk Trio Live à Fip (some French vibes) Archie Shepp Blasé Dave Holland Conference of the birds (w/ Sam Rivers...) Art Pepper meets the rhythm section Dexter Gordon Go Rabih Abou Khalil Arabian Waltz Gato Barbieri Fenix
You have a great list but some I'm not familiar with so I will definitely check them out. Thank you very much for watching my video and taking the time to post your list, I really appreciate it ✌️
Hi Kenny: Great list. There are two titles I am not familiar with so I will have to find on Apple Music. I know I am late to the party here but maybe there is something on here you aren't familiar with. - Count Basie And His Orchestra - Me And You - Pablo Records - 2310-891 - Duke Ellington And His Orchestra - Masterpieces By Ellington - Analogue Productions - APJ 4418 - Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue (45 RPM) - Analogue Productions - UHQR 0004 - Wynton Kelly Trio / Wes Montgomery (45 RPM) - Smokin' At The Half Note - Analogue Productions - AP-8633 - Bill Evans Trio -Waltz For Debby (45 RPM) Part of Riverside Recordings Box Set - Cannon Ball Adderley - Know What I Mean (45 RPM) Part of Riverside Recordings Box Set - Art Pepper - Art Pepper Meets The Rhythm Section - Craft Recordings - CR00382 - John Lewis (2) & Sacha Distel - Afternoon In Paris - Sam Records - SR12/1 - Gene Ammons - Boss Tenor - Analogue Productions - APRJ 7180 - Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis with Shirley Scott - Cookin' With Jaws And The Queen: The Legendary Prestige Cookbook Albums - LP 2 Second Course: Cookbook, Vol. 2 - Craft Recordings (all 4 LPs are worthy, but I had to pick one so...)
Nice choices guys here are my 10 ...1. kind of blue 2. take five 3.a love supreme 4.something else 5. maiden voyage 6. sidewinder 7. salt song 8. speak no evil 9. tequila 10. mr. shing-a-ling
Kenny, Great channel and I love your list. Below are a few that I really like and may not be on everyone’s list. Glass Bead Games - Clifford Jordan Money Jungle - Duke Ellington, Mingus, Max Ptah Dhoud- Alice Coltrane Speak No Evil - Wayne Shorter The Quest- Mal Waldron Vista- Marion Brown Sonny Sharrock - Ask The Ages Tyner- The Real McCoy Maiden Voyage - Herbie Hancock Basra- Pete Laroca New Africa- Grachan Moncur 111 Joe Henderson - Power To The People Archie Shepp - Faces Pharoah Sanders- Pharoah
I am familiar with about half of your selections...I'm going to have to check out the other half. If they are as great as the albums that I am familiar with, then I am sure that they are great. Thank you very much for listening some of your favorites 😊😁✌️
Great list. I knew "Kind of Blue" and "A Love Supreme" had to be on the list. "Koln Concert" is a masterpiece. One album I wish more people knew about is "The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album" from 1975. It's just Tony's vocals and Bill's piano. "Waltz for Debby", "Some Other Time" and "Days of Wine & Roses" are a few of the tracks. I've been playing it regularly the last few days since Tony's death.
My comment was referring to the first Tony Bennett/Bill Evans collaboration in 1975. "The Bad & The Beautiful" is from the second collaboration in 1977. However, both recordings are masterpieces and should be in every jazz lover's collection.
Good stuff, i have about 400 blue note 💽 albums tucked away, here's a few of my favorites but love them all... Art Blakey& the Jazz Messengers Coltrane Hank Mobley Dexter Gordon Tina Brooks🎷 Lee Morgan Freddie Hubbard Gene Ammons (Jug) Miles Wayne Shorter......In no particular order!! "Jazz washes away the dust of everyday life", a quote by the late GREAT ART BLAKEY!!!👌
My Top 10 Classic Jazz Records 1) Dexter Gordon - One Flight Up 2) Charles Mingus - BS&SL 3) Miles Davis - KOB 4) Getz / Gilberto - S/T 5) Ahmad Jamal Trio - The Awakening 6) Clifford Jordan Quartet - Glass Bead Games 7) Gato Barbieri - Fenix 8) Lee Morgan - The Gigolo 9) Herbie Hancock - Takin’ Off 10. John Coltrane - Crescent
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. 🙏
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.
Thank you very much for taking the time to watch my video and post your comments. I am glad that you are enjoying Mccoy Tyners Fly With The Wind as it's a great jazz song. Thank you very much for viewing from the Netherlands and God bless ✌️
I really dig your Beatles poster to your right. It’s the American albums. Super cool. I recently found a good original pressing of Getz/Gilberto. Great video Still looking for a good copy of Porgy and Bess. So awesome.
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!
I didn't grow up with jazz but I'm enjoying it more as I get older. I'm still working my way through the 'classics' and learning. Appreciate the video and will check out the reccs! My favorite jazz album (so far) is Eastern Sounds by Yusef Lateef. I also love: Idle Moments - Grant Green Mingus Ah Um - Charles Mingus Kind of Blue - Miles Davis Monk's Dream - The Thelonious Monk Quartet First Time! The Count Meets the Duke - Duke Ellington and Count Basie Jazz Samba Encore! - Stan Getz & Luiz Bonfá Indestructible - Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers
Change of the Century! My favorite classic Ornette album, too! It tend to fly under the Radar in discussions of the classic quartet releases of his. And it's never received a great audiophile vinyl release AFAIK, unlike , say, Shape of Jazz to Come and This is Our Music, or an SACD one such as the Shape of Jazz has had. BTW, have you ever heard Sanders's Trance of Seven Colors, in which he plays with Moroccan Gnawa musicians? It's a great listen, highly recommended.
Sentimentally for me, when I was 16 I listened toLes McCann Swiss Movement, & Roland Kirk’s Rip, Rig, & Panic. I then branched out from there, a continuing education
What a great list! I love it when I can tell that I share taste with someone from picks that I know well and then they introduce me to records I wouldn't have found otherwise. Thanks!
Passing the Cologne Opera house on my daily commute ✌🏻 where the Köln Concert was recorded. Greetings from Germany. My favorit jazz album is Miles Davis - in a silent way
Great video. You have given me so much home work!!! Looking forward to listening to your list and those in the comments. I can tell you have lead us straight to the jackpot.
I absolutely adore Inner Voices; because I'm Brazilian it resonates so deeply with the essence of Bossa Nova. It's truly one of the best albums for me.
Kenny, great list never heard the Mingus and the Sanders. Have most of the others pulling them now to dig back in! I can't wait to review our Fusion list. Bob in Denver
You nailed it Kenny!....Trane, Miles, Pharoah front and center...can't go wrong...I'm going to check out that Don Cherry album too since he got Pharoah and Gato Barbieri with him.
Thanks for making this video Not in any order Miles Davis & Gil Evans - Sketches of Spain John Coltrane - Coltrane ( Impulse 1962) Thelonius Monk - Plays Duke Ellington Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Horace Silver - Further Explorations Paul Desmond - Easy Living The Jimmy Giuffre 3 on Atlantic #1254 Stan Getz - Plays Blue Mitchell - Blue’s Moods
What, no Hank Mobley? Soul Station, Roll Call, A Caddy For Daddy. Hank was the man! Check the song "The Morning After" with Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, and Curtis Fuller. A fabulous song. Can't believe the gentleman left out Hank....!!
Any list of 10 records is going to leave out a lot of great stuff. No doubt Hank Mobley has some beautiful records that belong on anyone's shelf. Soul Station, with Blakey putting down a beat that only Blakey could, is a masterpiece.
Hi Kenny, i love your huge collection organization and all the masterpieces acquired . Thanks for sharing the knowledge you have about it. I would imagine that you're very passionate and spending big time to organise, research,process and obviously enjoy listening all that music. Regards from a music lover.
The Koln concert was my dad's favourite jazz album and he would play it on record every Sunday. It's the reason why I studied piano. Thank you for your videos!
Good list, good suggestions... I really like T. Monk, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Wes Montgomery and Bill Evans. "Jazz" music has transformed over the years and that's great, there are amazing female singers. Greetings Mantiqueiras, Peace and Love! Ah, John Coltrane, wow, great musician!
Kenny-ALL great, impeccable choices, several of which I would claim on a favorites list (Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain, A Love Supreme and The Koln Concert). Some additional selections for your consideration: Miles' soundtrack for Ascender pour l'eshafand; Chick Corea- Crystal Silence, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman; Herbie Hancock- New Standards; The Bill Evans Trio (with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motion)- Portrait in Jazz; Art Farmer- The Summer Knows; Horace Silver- Song for My Father; two (among many winning recordings) from Pat Metheny-- Bright Size Life and a duet recording Pat did with the late, superb bassist Charlie Haden--Beyond the Missouri Sky and one final, somewhat obscure recording (pressed only vinyl years before CDs) from Charles Lloyd--Autumn in New York. Keep sharing these music treasures!!!!
Thank you very much for your album recommendations, I really appreciate it. Some I have and a couple I do not have so I will have to check them out. ✌️
I'm a bit more than a decade older than you and got into jazz in high school. I heard Shape of Jazz to come and it blew me away. I worked at the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago in high school (home of Delmark Records). I think that Kind of Blue, and A Love Supreme are the greatest records ever made.
Happy to see Keith Jarrett / Koln Concert made your list. On the Davis UHQR, I can only imagine the quality on it. I just recently found out about Quality Record Pressings and it sounds like they stand by their name. I do have a Norah Jones on 200 gram pressing from Quality Records and it sounds amazing. One more thing, I would like to recommend a couple of Ahmad Jamal Trio, 1958 Pershing Lounge and Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival 1985. Thanks Kenny!! Keep up the great work!
Super feature from a good man who knows Jazz I own six of the ten and will check out tge remainder From my side of tbe Atlantic........thank you Andy .....uk
Hi, I have just watched this upload with a lot of interest & checked out the ''McCoy Tyner - Fly With The Wind'' on the strength of your recommendation, I've ordered a copy from Discogs after hearing the title track, Thank you very much.
I have nearly all of those and a couple other ones that I don’t have Ive streamed before - and they are all fantastic .. only one I’m really not familiar with is the pharaoh sanders LP, which I’m streaming right now and it’s pretty cool. The Stan Getz LP I’ve never heard either, but I plan to stream that one as well. The rest of your pics are all outstanding. The Keith Garrett double LP - I bought that one a few years ago after reading a bunch of reviews about it and it piqued my interest so I came across a copy and bought it. Great LP. This is why I really love watching these type UA-cam channels- because every now and then I will learn about a new LP that I don’t have or one I’ve never heard before, as is the case of Pharoah Sanders and boom - found something new to love. :) Excellent video. :)
I love the Stan Getz "Focus" album with the beautiful blend of jazz and classic music. I especially like the song "Pan" on that albums. The Pharoah Sanders album provides a lot of musical jazz emotion that is powerful and great. I also like watching other youtubers top 10 videos because I always learn something new. Thank you very much for your comments ✌️

Kind of Blue absolutely saved my life. Got me through some dark times. Solitude isn't something to be feared; this music reminds you of that.

I am familiar with about half of your selections...I'm going to have to check out the other half. If they are as great as the albums that I am familiar with, then I am sure that they are great. Thank you very much for listening some of your favorites 😊😁✌️
Exelent List . Great impressive collection. Thaks for sharing .
Thank you very much for watching my video 😊
Great list. I knew "Kind of Blue" and "A Love Supreme" had to be on the list. "Koln Concert" is a masterpiece.
One album I wish more people knew about is "The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album" from 1975. It's just Tony's vocals and Bill's piano. "Waltz for Debby", "Some Other Time" and "Days of Wine & Roses" are a few of the tracks. I've been playing it regularly the last few days since Tony's death.
Oh my God, man...I revere that album. It was the record that made me truly believe in Tony Bennett.
Fantastic record for sure.. thank you very much for your comments ✌️
Fantastic suggestion -- one of my top faves too.
And Bill’s solo piano on the Bad and the Beautiful theme. Have been listening to that repeatedly. So beautiful
My comment was referring to the first Tony Bennett/Bill Evans collaboration in 1975. "The Bad & The Beautiful" is from the second collaboration in 1977.
However, both recordings are masterpieces and should be in every jazz lover's collection.
Stoked to see Pharaoh at the end. I got to see him 6 or, so, years ago in Minnesota. Life changing seeing such a legend!
Must have been a grand experience seeing him in person 🎶
Koln concert, the first song is one of the most beautiful pieces i have ever heard
For sure...a masterpiece
what about Dave Brubeck in Take Five! and I love Paul Desmond's suave style
That is a great record but unfortunately I could not fit every great jazz album into a top 10. Thank you very much for viewing and your comments ✌️
Thank you very much. I’d love to hear a follow-up video where you go into more detail, what is it about the album, highlight tracks, and so forth.

Thanks you so much for posting, I’m newly getting in to jazz and am looking forward to listening to your favourite!!!
Thank you very much, I hope that you enjoy the music 🎶
I really enjoyed this video Kenny. Thanks so much for putting it together.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that 😊 ✌️
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. 🙏
I consider that jazz and they all are jazz legends to me...great choices 👏
most of your albums are my favourite albums as well. It´s a tiny world. live long and prosper.
Thank you....I hope that you live very long and prosper as well ✌️
I'm mesmerized and jealous of your album collection.
😊😁
Great job !!! Loved the variety - not all obvious choices, but also several nice surprises !!!
Thank you very much, I appreciate your comments 😊
Thanks for sharing. I'm familiar with 5 of those, most of which are among my own favorites, and I look forward to checking out the other 5
I hope that you enjoy the other 5 😊😁
thanks for reminding me about "fly with the wind". loved that so much way back when and had forgotten all about it.
Thank you....its a fabulous song 🎵
I love Donald Byrd and Lonnie Smith.
Both of them are great 👍 👌 👏
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.
Thank you very much for taking the time to watch my video and post your comments. I am glad that you are enjoying Mccoy Tyners Fly With The Wind as it's a great jazz song. Thank you very much for viewing from the Netherlands and God bless ✌️
Thanks for sharing. Amazing collection!
Your welcome and thank you very much for watching my video 😊
I really dig your Beatles poster to your right. It’s the American albums. Super cool. I recently found a good original pressing of Getz/Gilberto. Great video
Still looking for a good copy of Porgy and Bess. So awesome.
Thank you very much for your kind comments and viewing my video, I really appreciate it 😊✌️
Кенні, дуже цікавий топ 10. Дякую.
Thanks for viewing my video and your comments 😀
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!
I have that album and it is a marvelous album for sure 👌
I didn't grow up with jazz but I'm enjoying it more as I get older. I'm still working my way through the 'classics' and learning. Appreciate the video and will check out the reccs!
My favorite jazz album (so far) is Eastern Sounds by Yusef Lateef. I also love:
Idle Moments - Grant Green
Mingus Ah Um - Charles Mingus
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
Monk's Dream - The Thelonious Monk Quartet
First Time! The Count Meets the Duke - Duke Ellington and Count Basie
Jazz Samba Encore! - Stan Getz & Luiz Bonfá
Indestructible - Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers
I'm familiar with and have every album on your list except the last one..you have great taste when it come to jazz 👏 👍 🎶
Great list!
My favorite Album of all Time is Kurt Rosenwinkels *Our Secret World*
Thank you so much. That McCoy Tyner record is now on my purchase list
Your welcome, Glad to help 😊
Thank for Talk Fly With The wind, great album
My brother, I appreciate that 💯 ✌️
Great to hear your list, most of them were new to me. I'll work my way through them in the coming weeks. Thanks
Thank you 😊
Gday Kenny and thanks for the awesome list. Always great to hear recommendations from a knowledgeable listener. Much appreciated - down under
I appreciate that 😊..thank you very much for watching 😁
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to listening to the ones I haven't heard before
I hope that you enjoy the music 😊
Nice list.
A record I’ve listened to for over 30 years is Kenny Wheeler “Gnu High” featuring Keith Jarrett.
Magnificent
Thanks!
Thank you...and thank you very much for your comments ✌️
Muchísimas gracias 🙏🍀🙏🐾
You are welcome...thank you very much ✌️
Change of the Century! My favorite classic Ornette album, too! It tend to fly under the Radar in discussions of the classic quartet releases of his. And it's never received a great audiophile vinyl release AFAIK, unlike , say, Shape of Jazz to Come and This is Our Music, or an SACD one such as the Shape of Jazz has had. BTW, have you ever heard Sanders's Trance of Seven Colors, in which he plays with Moroccan Gnawa musicians? It's a great listen, highly recommended.
I have never heard of that album but ill definitely check it out, thanks for the recommendation and your comments ✌️
Sentimentally for me, when I was 16 I listened toLes McCann Swiss Movement, & Roland Kirk’s Rip, Rig, & Panic. I then branched out from there, a continuing education
Those are to great jazz musician 👏 ..the musical learning experience never ends 😊
I very much appreciate your selection. Congrats
Thank you very much I appreciate that 😊
What a great list! I love it when I can tell that I share taste with someone from picks that I know well and then they introduce me to records I wouldn't have found otherwise. Thanks!
Thank you very much for your comments, I really appreciate that 😊 ✌️
Passing the Cologne Opera house on my daily commute ✌🏻 where the Köln Concert was recorded.
Greetings from Germany.
My favorit jazz album is Miles Davis - in a silent way
Thank you very much for viewing from Germany 😊😁 In a silent way is a fantastic album.
Great video. You have given me so much home work!!! Looking forward to listening to your list and those in the comments. I can tell you have lead us straight to the jackpot.
Thank you very much I really appreciate that...I hope that you enjoy the music 🎶 😊😁✌️
Listening to some of these records now. Thank you so much for the recommendations. These are fantastic. Much love.
Thank you very much I appreciate that 💯 😊 ✌️
You're wrong, my friend. Keith Kölner Concert gets a lot of recognition, at least here in Europe. A Masterpiece.
I absolutely adore Inner Voices; because I'm Brazilian it resonates so deeply with the essence of Bossa Nova. It's truly one of the best albums for me.
It is a fantastic album for sure. Thank you very much for your great comments. ✌️
Kenny, great list never heard the Mingus and the Sanders. Have most of the others pulling them now to dig back in! I can't wait to review our Fusion list. Bob in Denver
Thank you very much Bob for watching my videos 😊 ✌️
You nailed it Kenny!....Trane, Miles, Pharoah front and center...can't go wrong...I'm going to check out that Don Cherry album too since he got Pharoah and Gato Barbieri with him.
Meant to add...thanks for all you do for the jazz community...America was the birth place of the music
I appreciate that, thank you very much. That Don Cherry album is great...at least in my opinion 😊 ✌️
Thanks for making this video

Your list is excellent 👌 👍 👏 🎶...thanks for taking the time to show your list of jazz greats and thank you very much for viewing my video 😁
All that stuff is Good, glad I ran into your platform, I’m 70 and my life story is similar to yours, I’ll be in touch, you’re new friend
I appreciate your comments and thank you for watching my video 😊
What, no Hank Mobley? Soul Station, Roll Call, A Caddy For Daddy. Hank was the man! Check the song "The Morning After" with Lee Morgan, McCoy Tyner, and Curtis Fuller. A fabulous song. Can't believe the gentleman left out Hank....!!
I have the album and it's great 👍 👌 🎶
Any list of 10 records is going to leave out a lot of great stuff. No doubt Hank Mobley has some beautiful records that belong on anyone's shelf. Soul Station, with Blakey putting down a beat that only Blakey could, is a masterpiece.
Many I know, some I don’t. Looks like I have some listening to do. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for viewing my video 😁
Hi Kenny, i love your huge collection organization and all the masterpieces acquired .
Thanks for sharing the knowledge you have about it.
I would imagine that you're very passionate and spending big time to organise, research,process and obviously enjoy listening all that music.
Regards from a music lover.
Thank you very much for your awesome comments, I sincerely appreciate it 😊
Great collection and great taste
Thank you very much ✌️
great collection..
Thank you very much ✌️ 😊
The Koln concert was my dad's favourite jazz album and he would play it on record every Sunday. It's the reason why I studied piano. Thank you for your videos!
Thanks Kenny, great collection. Peace
Thanks I appreciate that 💯
Dark Eyes album by Tomasz Stanko
Good list, good suggestions... I really like T. Monk, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, Wes Montgomery and Bill Evans. "Jazz" music has transformed over the years and that's great, there are amazing female singers. Greetings Mantiqueiras, Peace and Love! Ah, John Coltrane, wow, great musician!
My brother peace and love to you and thank you for mentioning those fantastic jazz legends ✌️
The One of a Kind video. Thanks a lot for it.
Thank you very much and thank you for watching my video.
Kenny-ALL great, impeccable choices, several of which I would claim on a favorites list (Kind of Blue, Sketches of Spain, A Love Supreme and The Koln Concert). Some additional selections for your consideration: Miles' soundtrack for Ascender pour l'eshafand; Chick Corea- Crystal Silence, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman; Herbie Hancock- New Standards; The Bill Evans Trio (with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motion)- Portrait in Jazz; Art Farmer- The Summer Knows; Horace Silver- Song for My Father; two (among many winning recordings) from Pat Metheny-- Bright Size Life and a duet recording Pat did with the late, superb bassist Charlie Haden--Beyond the Missouri Sky and one final, somewhat obscure recording (pressed only vinyl years before CDs) from Charles Lloyd--Autumn in New York. Keep sharing these music treasures!!!!
Thank you very much for your album recommendations, I really appreciate it. Some I have and a couple I do not have so I will have to check them out. ✌️
Thxu so much for sharing your passion for jazz 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you and thank you very much for viewing my video 😊
I'm a bit more than a decade older than you and got into jazz in high school. I heard Shape of Jazz to come and it blew me away. I worked at the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago in high school (home of Delmark Records). I think that Kind of Blue, and A Love Supreme are the greatest records ever made.
It's cool to have a long time jazz fan view my video, thank you very much....A love Supreme and Kind of Blue are all time greats for sure ✌️
Happy to see Keith Jarrett / Koln Concert made your list. On the Davis UHQR, I can only imagine the quality on it. I just recently found out about Quality Record Pressings and it sounds like they stand by their name. I do have a Norah Jones on 200 gram pressing from Quality Records and it sounds amazing. One more thing, I would like to recommend a couple of Ahmad Jamal Trio, 1958 Pershing Lounge and Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival 1985. Thanks Kenny!! Keep up the great work!
I have that Ahmad Jamal album and it's great 👍
Bruh Kenny, You are my Dude! My all-time favorite Jazz group are the Crusaders. I first heard "Free As the Wind" album in HS in 1976.
My brother, I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video and your comments peace ✌️
Great video! A couple there I need to check out....Thanks for posting!
Thank you very much ✌️
Super feature from a good man who knows Jazz
I own six of the ten and will check out tge remainder
From my side of tbe Atlantic........thank you
Andy .....uk
Thank you very much Andy 😊 ✌️
From Italy ....Great selection.........
Thank you very much and thank you for watching my video from Italy ✌️
Can’t argue with any of those Kenny. A couple of “left field” picks for me would be Ellington’s Far East Suite and Sonny Sharrock’s Ask the Ages
Hi, I have just watched this upload with a lot of interest & checked out the ''McCoy Tyner - Fly With The Wind'' on the strength of your recommendation, I've ordered a copy from Discogs after hearing the title track, Thank you very much.
Your very welcome and thank you very much for viewing my video i really appreciate it 😊. I hope that you enjoy the album ✌️
@@kennysaudiophilerecordreviews Thanks mate 👍
Love your selections, it’s hard to say what is my favorite but yours are right up there, thanks.
Thank you very much 😊
I have nearly all of those and a couple other ones that I don’t have Ive streamed before - and they are all fantastic .. only one I’m really not familiar with is the pharaoh sanders LP, which I’m streaming right now and it’s pretty cool.
The Stan Getz LP I’ve never heard either, but I plan to stream that one as well.
The rest of your pics are all outstanding.
The Keith Garrett double LP - I bought that one a few years ago after reading a bunch of reviews about it and it piqued my interest so I came across a copy and bought it. Great LP.
This is why I really love watching these type UA-cam channels- because every now and then I will learn about a new LP that I don’t have or one I’ve never heard before, as is the case of Pharoah Sanders and boom - found something new to love. :)
Excellent video. :)
I love the Stan Getz "Focus" album with the beautiful blend of jazz and classic music. I especially like the song "Pan" on that albums. The Pharoah Sanders album provides a lot of musical jazz emotion that is powerful and great.
I also like watching other youtubers top 10 videos because I always learn something new.
Thank you very much for your comments ✌️
Great pics! I'm a hardcore jazz dude and I hadn't heard of some of these. Big props to Karma and Mingus Ah Um! Gotta check that don cherry one and those mccoy!
Thank you very much for viewing my video...the Don Cherry album is great 👍
