Jazz must have pressings???

Here are a few that I really enjoy. Not in any particular order they are:
1. Count Basie - 88 Basie Street. The original on Pablo is wonderful.
2. Bill Berry - For Duke - direct to disc on the Jeton label.
3. Ray Brown and Monty Alexander - Summerwind - direct to disc on the Jeton label.
4. Freddie Hubbard - The Artistry of Freddie Hubbard - reissued 45 rpm (original on Impulse)
5. Dexter Gordon - Doin' Allright - Blue Note - the 45 RPM re issue.

There are many more that are just as wonderful.

Martin Taylor, the Scottish acoustic / electric guitarist has some wonderful recordings on Linn including one w/famed jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli. Martin Taylor has a series of guitar oriented lps on his own label. Also, Antonio Forcione is a brilliant Italian acoustic guitarist who has recorded on Naim.

I have compiled quite a list out of it that I have been chipping away at, but frankly I have a few hundred to go yet before I catch up with Elizabeth. However I doubt she'll stop any time soon, so that may be a never never plan, lol. Independant of that, Dave Brubeck- Time Out is a must have, and I particularly enjoy the Horace Silver Bluenote rereleases - any and all of them, he's my favorite artist.

One of my favorite live albums is Louis Bellson Live at Concord.
