List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings

Awesome thread.  This is going to keep me busy for a while.

+1 on Swiss Movement.

Another lesser known one I like is Joshua Redmond spirit of the moment live at village vanguard. Saw them do the same show in Boston the week after it was recorded in NYC. Christian Mcbride sat in for a few songs and ended up having a cutting session on stage with the bassist Christopher Thomas.

I look forward to exploring the listings above. 

For me currently:

Clyde McCoy And His Orchestra:  Sugar Blues

Charles Mingus:  Pithecanthropus Erectus

Dave Brubeck:  How High The Moon from Young Lions Old Tigers, the vocals by Jon Hendricks are magical. 

Just a few that come to mind. 

It’s funny,  most of the time I’m not a fan of live albums because they rarely sound as good as the studio albums.  But when it comes to most Jazz albums, I love them.  Even Billy Cobham, Stratus, Live!

Elvin Jones - Live at Pookie’s Pub

Great sounding live recording, including the clubs out of tune upright piano. 

Jeff Beck’s "Live at Ronnie Scott’s" is more on the Fusion end of Jazz with some R&R and R&B thrown in. It’s a fabulous testament to his ability to play guitar, especially with a great band featuring Tal Wilkenfeld on bass and Vinnie Colaiuta on drums. The DVD version is fun to watch too.
