I didn't appreciate Jazz until the mid-70's so my favorites are a little different. Weather report- Heavy Weather, Tom Scott and the LA Express- Tom Cat, the self titled "Stuff", Chuck Mangione- Feels so Good. And more recently, Peter Frampton's Fingerprints and "Frampton forgets the Words". Yes, Frampton.
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

+ 1 on "Anita Sings the Most" -- her best, IMHO. She, like many other Jazz vocalists, are rarely ever mentioned here. Have you heard Purim’s "Perpetual Emotion"? It’s a straight ahead Jazz date, not Fusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X35jLiOVb1o&list=OLAK5uy_kCXtbLfAYXY8Rl-Mm8A43kVI5zu2XLd38&index=
