Kind of Blue

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.
Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Mary Lou Williams, Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Charles Mingus, Max Roach, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra, Archie Shepp, Donald Byrd, Andrew Hill, Pharoah Sanders, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Hank Mobley, Eric Dolphy, Art Blakely, Roland Kirk, Sonny Sharrock, Don Cherry, Albert Ayler, Sadao Watanabe.

I like all kinds,of musical Jazz,just hate that one note ,crazy play whatever you can jazz....it makes no scents. 

I guess its FREE Jazz....sorry it's just noise...

I don't understand the more extreme reactions to "labelling" genres of Jazz expressed here.  

It can be very helpful to know which sub-genre a particular recording falls into, simply for the sake of finding other recordings one might enjoy. This is especially true for those who've just begun to dip their toes into Jazz.  

it doesn't have to be anything more than this. 

No reason to get one's undies in a knot!
