Buddy Holly: "Jazz is strictly for the stay-at-homes." ;-)

one disc? Miles Round Midnight. one song? Grant Green Idle Moments.
|
Actually, it's a trick question.
(Heaven is 52nd St., NYC, circa 1945).
Only those choosing Charlie Parker discs are allowed inside.
|
hands down fave- red norvo, "the forward look."
|
Between a rock and a hard place! In heaven only one piece of music, sounds like hell to me. In hell, all your records warp! I think I would be shooting for limbo. I hear their power grid is pretty clean.

Miles Davis - Seven Steps To Heaven.
But why in God's name would anyone listen to jazz on CD? That ain't heaven.
|
Prez and Teddy seems to capture the essence of "Jazz" at its best - bluesy, folksy, sophisticated, and optimistic - always in the moment yet reflective and forward thinking
|
First thing first, is my Labrador greeting me from inside the gate ?
|
Personally (given that choice) I would tell them to F-Off.
DeKay
|
Not religious at all…but Donald Byrd - A New Perspective (a very spiritual, gospel-y masterpiece).
|
|
Easy, Sonny Stitt could carry a melody and improv it at the same time.
IMO , the greatest American Jazz Man !
|
If the only thing they'd let me bring in was Jazz, I'd turn around and go the other way - what's the expression? "The devil's got all the best music!". For my tastes, he does!
|
Johnny Hartman and John Coltrane
|
At one place they ain't giving you the choice, the other one would become a hell for me, having only one cd to play over and over again for eternity! This is why I can't play any best ever games, variety is the essence of what's best for me.

Miles Davis Escalier sur l‘Echafaut (not the pearly gates but same outcome)
|
Stan Getz - The Lost Sessions
|
Hell would be where they don’t play the John Coltrane but the Julie Andrews version.
My choice would be Ellington "1940 Live From the Crystal Ballroom Fargo, North Dakota".
|
You may actually be at the gates of hell.

I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd
One CD - for all eternity? I don't want to be the one to tell you, but you aren't at the Pearly Gates. You're at the other place.
|
Miles Davis Kind of Blue.
|
For me it would be Harry James, What About Harry.
|
i’d be pissed that god has no turntable. ’1’s and ’0’s? really? 😎
not my idea of heaven.
