Overlooked the "master" himself: Jimmy Smith Trio-The Master-includes such classics as "I Got My Mojo Workin' and "Back At the Chicken Shack." Recorded live at Kirin Plaza Osaka, Japan.
Hi, the Jazz at the Pawnshop recording I was referring to is vol. 1, the original. On CD it is just one disk, but it's a double LP. Another one I just listened to, this time on Sunday morning, is Shelly Manne at the Manne-Hole, any one of vols. 1-5. A series of live recordings, really beautiful. He's called "West Coast jazz."
a real sleeper of a live jazz recording is "Wynton Marsalis Septet--Live At the Village Vangard", a 7 disc package. recorded live over a 4 year period (1990-1994). there are 3 different bands for the various sessions. it was all recorded with that casual, spontanious feel that only live jazz can capture. as with anything this long there are inconsistencies but the recording quality is excellent thruout and the sense of discovery and anticipation make this memorable. highly recommended.
Monk Live at the It Club in L.A. Excellent intimate recording with that typical on the edge live feel and spontaneity Monk does par excellence. 2 CD set on Columbia. A staple for Monk fans and a should hear for the rest.
