Charlie Haden/ Hampton Hawes - As Long As There's Music (Verve)
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

Listening to this one, right now. Why I am recommending it-Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, Philip Catherine and Billy Hart are awesome jazz musicians. NHOP has played with Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon and Ella Fitzgerald. Philip Catherine is one of the greatest jazz guitarists you never heard of. Billy Hart has played with everybody, both as a sideman and bandleader, starting with Otis Redding. Billy Hart is a sideman and bandleader. He swings in many jazz idioms, from fusion through hard bop. |
