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!! -------------

I've added one more record to my mainstream Jazz section, a record I before had decided to sell, so it was on my sell list for some years. Now I changed my mind and put it back in my collection, not least due to its special recording and very good sound quality, plus the fact that it's other kind of Jazz (Dixieland) than all my other Jazz records. It is Climax Jazz Band (CAN) - direct to disk (1977) ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

Jazz-Rock as a whole is definitely my favourite in this part of my collection, and I became very fond of a number of albums in this style already in mid-'70s, in my late teenage years. Some of them I love to this day, and they're among my most fave regardless genre: Mahavishnu Orchestra (USA) - Birds of Fire (1973) Osibisa (Ghana) - Osibisa (1971)

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.
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 |
