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

@mahgister ”Write why you propose something…” Yes l agree with you. Not just in this discussion but in all on Audiogon. Lazy lists mean nothing without some reasoning why, are generally useless and meaningless. As regards any of my under appreciated jazz records, if l don’t like them l don’t “share” them….. l just simply give them away. 🎁 |
