Share some under appreciated jazz album titles
I’ve been on a journey to discover more older jazz albums deeper down the catalog that share two traits; I like/love the music and the recording shines, quite possibly unexpectedly. By that I mean, I probably have a bias that leads me expect recordings from the fifties and sixties to be less detailed or “audiophile” than more recent recordings. I’m finding this bias to be truly misguided to say the least.
Please share some of your favorite lesser known jazz gems with both traits. To roll the ball… Dave Brubeck “In Time”, Johnny Hodges “Not So Dukish” and “Gerry Mulligan Meets Johnny Hodges”
Yes, I’ve been on a Johnny Hodges kick lately
happy listening everyone
here’s a few some under appreciated some aren’t but I figured I’ll throw them on the table anyway
Sonny Rollins “Saxophone Collosus” Dexter Gordon “Our Man in Paris” and “Go” Art Pepper “Straight Life” and “Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section” Gene Ammons “Boss Tenor” Bill Evans “You Must Believe in Spring” The Unforgettable NHOP Trio (this is a real hidden gem of an album in my opinion)
