Best of the new jazz 45rpm reissues

Hello everybody.

There is a great lot of jazz records being reissued by Bluenote, music matters....... But at $50 a pop, I can only afford to get about 10 of them . I already have the staples such as Miles Davies, Coltrane on 45rpm. I am fairly new in jazz, thus have never heard of the majority of artists that are being reissued.

Can you guys help suggest My future purchases.

Many thanks

From the Music Matters/Blue Note Series I would strongly recommend the following:

Lee Morgan: Tomcat and Search for the New Land (unfortunately out of print but maybe you can find a copy)

Grant Green: Solid and Matador (Matador also OOP)

Hank Mobley: Soul Station (OOP)

Tina Brooks: Back to the Tracks (I like this record better than the more popular True Blue which is OOP)

Sonny Clark: Cool Struttin'

Jackie McLean: Bluesnik (OOP)

Kenny Burrell's Midnight Blue is definitely a must own as well.

The records above that are out of print are that way for a reason-they are really great records!!!

The records above are all pretty well desert island stuff for me.

The Acoustic Sounds Blue Trane is exceptional. One of the best RVG recordings of the era.
