List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings

I'll recommend just one and it happens to be pretty much the best live jazz recording in my collection. I use this disc to blow away friends who have never heard a good system. One of my coworkers a few years ago sat in the prime seat and was literally speechless until he stuttered, "I can't believe this."

Wow! I have a lot of listening to do here. One question, CD or LP? I do not have a high end system, just one I'm happy with (and can afford).

a fun live album is Benny Goodman "Yale archives"

ChuckT, Benny Goodman’s Carnegie Hall 1938 live album was pretty good too if I recall. Haven’t heard it in years though.

Miles Davis Quintet's Live in Europe 1967 has its' moments too. That one has Wayne Shorter on tenor.

For Cohen i will not oppose you...

To be frank i know him because he isw in one of my favorite jazz trumpet summit...One with three others and Harrell rule the show here...

i will listen to you and wait before buying too much of his..

😊 Thanks for your impression...

I guess you are right..

but my favorite cd is stunning live...

Tom Harrell is interesting and way less known..or Avishai Cohen at the trumpet

Avishai Cohen s++ks.  Does not (will not) play two notes back to back in tune/key.  At  least the recordings I have.  I appreciate that style but can only take so much of it.  Like RAP.  I have recordings where he is a guest artist and when he comes in, he ruins the whole thing. 😖  My far and between 2 cents.
