Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer


I went and purchased two more John Coltrane CD’s, "Blue Train" and "Traneing In", in spite of, relative to other artists, having way too many of his albums already. I do love his music and just now counted having forty-eight of his albums, not even including the ones he recorded with Miles Davis.

Is there anyone else out there at least equally nutty, or has more recordings by any single artist, band or composer? If so, who do you like, and how many of their albums have you collected and play? Miles Davis at thirty-three records and CD’s, comes in a not too distant second in my collection.

Hopefully this topic hasn’t been broached before here.

Ron Carter has appeared on 2,221 recording sessions.  For jazz enthusiasts, you could have more recordings with Ron on them than any other musician in your collection and not even realize it ;-)
If we’re counting single artists appearing with other groups, Ray Brown would be up there in my collection. Other than that, the Dave Brubeck section is starting to crowd out the Chet Baker and Cannonball Adderley section.

In the classical closet, Bach seems to be overtaking Beethoven.
