I can’t get enough of Bill Evans!

Al Di Meola's Elegant Gypsy is a fantastic album.

My first jazz record was Herbie Hancock Maiden Voyage. I also recommend anything by Horace Silver. Larry Young Into Somethin. Its also phenomenal its organ, guitar and saxophone. Grant Green plays guitar. Its easy to get into and relaxing.

Six Pieces of Silver and Song for my Father are on my list of future purchases from Horace Silver.

Your voice sounds like John Lithgow! Great review thanks Been listening to Jazz since about 73 When people told me Jerry and Duane listened to Miles and Trane I was in! Yes Dead Head here…..a band that has many jazz roots and underpinnings

Great callout! A ton of the Dead’s live improvisation is derived from jazz.

Great advice and recommendations. Enjoyed the video.

Thanks for watching!

If i were starting a jazz collection I would have at least one by Armstrong, Ellington, Parker and Monk. That would be for someone starting to learn the history of jazz I guess. But all your choices are excellent.

Monk is the most glaring hole in my jazz collection. I do have at least one record from the others you mentioned.

@@TheFraudiophile I soon will have published an article on an audiophile site on Monk, my favorite jazz musician I talk about his whole career and give album recommendations. When it's posted I will send you the link. Thanks!

LOVE your channel name! This is a great list - I would maybe change a couple here or there - but for the most part - solid. I am a huge Grant Green fan and I also like a lot of Organ driven Jazz - so maybe throw in a John Patton for the Chat Baker - but I have all of these and they are great! Herbie Hancock is my favorite!

As a rock fan, I find myself drawn first to the guitarists and Green is right there with Burrell and John McLaughlin for me.

All top notch stuff. For me Miles is King. I use to buy a lot of jazz but slowed it down tremendously as prices keep going up. 75% of the time when I listen to jazz it’s Miles from 68-73, his electric years

I really like Bitches Brew, but I think Jack Johnson might be my favorite from that era.

New subscriber! A few surprise picks but love all of them. Thank you for including "Time Out" as it is one of my favorites. I also really enjoy "Little Girl Blue" by Nina Simone, "Getz/Gilberto" by Stan Getz, "At Last" by Etta James, "A Love Supreme" by John Coltrane, and "Mingus Ah Um" by Charles Mingus

@@TheFraudiophile well you have a fine collection. I’m just like you; got into jazz late but I’m having fun learning. I’ll be listening to the ones you recommended all week

I’ve been collecting jazz since the 1970s and have way too many records and CDs, but I really enjoyed your list! It gave me some great suggestions for a bunch of records to,pull out that I haven’t listened to in a while to play. Thanks. Keep it up. Also try Bill Evans Waltz for Debby or Live at the Village Vanguard. Both recorded at the same gig, unbelievable sound quality too.

@@TheFraudiophile Try this one: The contemporary reissue of Shelley Mann and his men line at the Blackhawk vol 1. Great jazz, excellent reissue quality too.

I like the jazz guitar players - Grant Green is the best IMO and as someone else said, Bill Evans is a must have.

I’d add Kenny Burrell and John McLaughlin to my favorites, but Grant Green has his own sound and feel to his playing.

Solid List!! Maiden Voyage is another good album by Herbie Hancock!! Definitely a top 5 for me. Bill Evans live at Town Hall is must! Probably my favorite jazz piano based album
