After all the talk about Jazz-Rock/Fusion in another thread, I'd like to show my love to these genres and refresh this thread. Tongue

Yes. It was just meant as a joke of sorts. I thought that was pretty obvious for anyone who's visited the PA Starter Kit-thread.

Yes, it is very obvious.

Sorry for quoting myself again. A bad habit of mine. But I seem to agree with myself the most often. And this new post of mine needs the context of my previous to make sense.

I've got more jazz albums than any other kind of music.

20 of my favorites from my 1960's collection

Prince Lasha & Sonny Simmons - Firebirds
Chico Hamilton - Man From Two Worlds
Ahmad Jamal - Extensions
Pete La Roca - Basra

-and 20 favorites from my early to mid 1970's collection

Alice Coltrane - Journey in Satchidananda
Jan Garbarek Quartet - Afric Pepperbird

...loads of favorites missing, but gotta stop at some point

edit: a bonus ten favorites from the 1950's (which I don't own nearly as many albums from)

Ahmed Abdul-Malik - Jazz Sahara
The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out
The Chico Hamilton Quintet - Gongs East!
Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
The Horace Silver Quintet - Finger Poppin' With the Horace Silver Quintet
The Cecil Taylor Quartet - Looking Ahead!
Miles Davis - Ascenseur pour l'échafaud
Jimmy Giuffre - The Jimmy Giuffre 3
Kenny Graham - Moondog and Suncat Suites
The Modern Jazz Quartet - Modern Jazz Quartet Vol. 2

A handful of my most treasured albums/artists aren't even represented. This I simply cannot live with.

Bill Evans:
Explorations
You Must Believe In Spring

Yusef Lateef:
Eastern Sounds
The Diverse Yusef Lateef

Bobby Hutcherson:
Oblique
Patterns

Richard Davis:
Muses For Richard Davis
The Philosophy of the Spiritual

Sun Ra:
The Nubians Of Plutonia
Angels and Demons at Play

Terje Rypdal:
Whenever I Seem to Be Far Away
Terje Rypdal

Steve Reid:
Nova
Visions of the Third Eye (as New Life Trio)

I also got a bonus post 1970's (which also happens to be a post 1980's) list of ten treasurous albums. Just like with most of the 1950's scene, I'm not nearly as well-versed as to what has happened in jazz for the last 45 years or so - as I am ca. 1959-1975. Perhaps interestingly, these are in total probably less "out there" than most of what you may find on my 1960's list.

The Necks - Hanging Gardens
Bohren & Der Club Of Gore - Black Earth
Sons of Kemet - Your Queen is a Reptile
Greg Foat - The Mage

Sonny Sharrock - Ask The Ages

Bremer/McCoy - Utopia

Rabih Abou-Khalil - Al-Jadida

Chip Wickham - Shamal Wind

Adam Rudolph's Moving Pictures - Skyway
Matthew Halsall - Salute to the Sun

Sure thanks! I, or we just needed a break as we constantly irritated/annoyed each other. That may of course happen again, but I don't really care about - or stay irritated for long enough - to follow such things trough anyway. Besides, more often than not, I just respond to what's written, without noticing who actually wrote it.

He has several great album covers.....That match the great music.

As we know tastes can be different. Big smile

What I find to be cool covers are more like the ones from these albums:

John Coltrane (USA) - Blue Train

Thelonius Monk (USA) - Straight, No Chaser

Sonny Rollins (USA) - Vol. 2

Charles Mingus (USA) - Mingus Ah Um

I have a lot of jazz records mainly BlueNote, probably 95% of it is in the late 50's to mid 60's, so that classic hard bop era. Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers is my all time fav group, I also enjoy the early Herbie Hancock stuff. My biggest surprise was Katanga by Curtis Amy and Dupree Bolton....brilliant!!
