Top 10 Jazz recordings ever

Rockadanny, you are more than welcome! I'm gonna have to spring for the 45rpm version of St. James Infirmary one of these days...Cheers,

John Coltrane's Love Supreme.

I doubt you can find one, but the Audio Fidelity label issued the first stereo LP (using 45 degree grooves) and it was the first of several Dukes of Dixieland recordings. The sonics are superb.

Kind of Blue,You Must Believe in Spring by Bill Evans,Something Else by Cannonball Adderly,Best of Sarah Vaughn on Pablo records, Crazy and Mixed Up by S. Vaughn,Ready for Freddie by the late great Mr. Frederic Dwane Hubbard,Sunflower,by Milt Jackson w/ Freddie Hubbard,Chet in New York, Chet's Choice by of course Chet Baker, thats of course if you can hear, have a soul, and have very good taste .More anytime if you like this stuff and can tolerate a certain amount of arrogance.

The best jazz recording ever is "Somethin else" by Cannonball Adderly. It features: Cannonball on sax; Miles on trumpet; Art Blakey on drums; Hank Jones on piano; and Sam Jones on bass.

Let us contrast this LP with "Kinda Blue" by Miles. Cannonball and Miles are on both LP's. We have Coltrane as an additional sax, plus Bill Evans on piano; Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums.

In regard to the musicians, the albums are equal; the difference is the music. The music on "Something Else" is prettier and more lyrical. That's the judgment I made a long time ago. It's quite possible that if you listen to both LP's, you will make the same judgment.
