Kind of Blue

I'm surprised how few mentions of Joe Henderson there are.  He's always been a favourite of mine.  State Of The Tenor is a must have for any jazz fan.  And the  subtle treatment he adds to Idle Moments by Grant Green.  

Kind of Blue

Somethin' Else - Cannonball Adderley (in my mind a Miles album-I keep it with his records)

Coltrane - Ballads, Plays the Blues, Giant Steps

Sonny - Way Out West, 4

Stan Getz  - Stan meets Chet, Getz Giberto, Jazz Samba

Milt Jackson - Bags meets Wes (Montgomery), Django (MJQ)

Wayne Shorter - See No Evil

Jimmy Smith-Wes Montgomery - The Dynamic Duo

Pat Martino - El Hombre

Pick an early Paul Desmond (Time out - even though Dave Brubeck leads)

Tina Brooks - True Blue, The Waiting Game

Dexter Gordon - Go

Miles - Round About Midnight or any from his first Quintet (Relaxin', Cookin', Workin', Steamin')

Pat Metheny Group (Self titled), Offramp (except the first song)

These are ones I am psyched when they come up next to play in the rotation....

I don't know much about jazz, so these recommendations are especially helpful.  My wife and I are looking forward to listening to everything listed above.  Thanks very much.

Bill Evans Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby. You can’t not love it. I’m guaranteeing Bill Evans.

What a good place you’re in. You heard something good and you want more of it. Late ’50s early 60’s Jazz recordings, this my friend, is a bottomless pit of good stuff.

Especially in the ‘45-‘75 chronological range, there is an enormous amount.
