Recommend some Jazz to me


A friend and I have been checking out some Jazz records recently. Mostly Miles Davis 1st and 2nd great quintet stuff. He turned me on to Bill Evans - Sunday at the Village Vanguard, which I have been enjoying.

Someone in another recent thread recommended Elvin Jones - Poly-currents. I listened to the 1st track and it knocked me off my feet. Of course we're familair with Brubeck - Time Out. We're both drummers and I took a couple of lessons with Morello back in the day. I've also checked out some Milt Jackson.

What other artists or records would you recommend? They don't have to be great "drum" records per se. Hi fidelity recordings are a bonus.


Thanks!

Joe

My suggestion is to go through the posts on "Jazz For Aficionados", find what you like, post it over here, and ask others to add to it; that way you will almost instantly discover records just for you.

My favorite drummers are: Chico Hamilton, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Roy Haynes, and Shelly Manne.
