List some of your favorite live Jazz recordings

if it weren't for the dreadful sonics, the '38 benny goodman allstar jazz concert at carnegie hall would be top of the list. it was hearing that recording that made me get involved with digital audio restoration in the first place!

@simonmoon

Thanks for your list !

Can you tell Post Bop is my favorite sub-genre ? ;o)

The Mahavishnu O. box set contains a second disc of previously-unreleased tunes from the same gig as "Between Nothingness and Eternity".

"Oregon -- 1974" is an excellent 2 disc set from a European tour. I was fortunate to see them in the late 70’s and it remains one of my favorite shows of all I’ve attended.

I saw Les in 1975. That guy was extremely charismatic -- he could really work a crowd. He took us all to church, skillfully merging so-called "sacred" and "profane" elements together so that you couldn't tell where one ended and the other began. All you knew was it sure felt good!
