I'm looking to expand my collection beyond the usual classics. Personal anecdotes and stories about discovering the album are highly appreciated!

I just want your absolute favorite jazz albums / songs !

Like the title says, looking for recommendations of great jazz, albums play while running. I love music for 18 musicians but it’s not exactly jazz. Clever girl is also a great group to play while running

This album has been wonderful listening for me. It's my favorite Kenny Burrell recording. However, I cannot find any information about it beyond it's title etc.

What are some of your favorite recordings of tunes that alternate between latin and swing feel? I know Night in Tunisia, Nica's Dream, Green Dolphin Street, and Manteca. What am I overlooking?

Hello everyone. I just started reading on the topic and so far it only mentions that this practice was common in more mainstream music. That made me curious and hence the question. So far ive only found little info online and therefore I wanted to listen to your opinions and comments.

Thanks in advance.

Found this wonderful Quincy Jones produced tune today while looking for the earliest recording of an electric bass guitar. Not sure if that's entirely accurate as the discussions in the comments seem to point to other recordings in the blues and country world which makes sense.

Anyhow, I believe this is Monk Montgomery on a Fender precision and the horns play this great riff which is pretty close to A Love Supreme.

I can't recommend this enough. The accordion texture warms up the piano and trumpet combination, wrapping their tones in a beautiful way.

Jazz and "jizz", came from the same word "jasm/jism", meaning that Jazz is literally penis music.

Listening to Blue In green and feeling this melancholic, depressing soothing feeling that I love so much from this song I'm a noob to jazz anything you nice gentleman can recommend that will have me feeling the same way about a song?

As above. I did a post like this for tuba. And I loved all the recs and have really been getting into the tuba. Then I listened to the album that started this journey for me, that was the reason I made that original post - stamp in time by Nicole Connelly - and I thought that doesn't sound like the same instrument as all these other tubas I've been listening to. Turns out I had been wrong and Nicole Connelly plays trombone not tuba. Oops, but a lucky mistake that has made me really get into tuba.

But now I want to find trombone albums.

Hi I didn’t know where else to post this. I got stuck working the RNC in Milwaukee and missed the Chicago show. I’m devastated. Does anyone know if they’re adding more dates to this run?

I created this project. Details on the page. Please let me know what you think and spread the link. Initial versions of these files, so there'll likely be mistakes.

Can the Real Book pdf's be loaded into the iRealpro app ? or should I use a better program on my android tablet ?

I’m really into the Virtuoso solo albums by Joe Pass and as well the as the solo work of Lenny Breau. I’m partial to albums that came out in the 50’s and 60’s. I should also add that I’m into a vibe where the tunes have an easy listening/lounge feel to them. I’d greatly appreciate some recommendations.

From what I’ve seen on the subreddit, I have found my people and am in dire need of recommendations!

Inspired by another similar post:

It's a half-time/slower feel with swingin' drums.

First, trumpets that go: bu buuum, bu-bu bummmmm, buh, buuuuuuuuuuum.

Then, bass that goes: da-da-da-da-da-da da da daaaa....da, da, da, da da daaaaaa.

I'd like to share this beautiful record with you all. It's probably not known that much, but I've been listening a lot to it, especially the first track. I think many of you would like it as well

Was brought to this record because I wanted to see how Clifford Brown backed singers, and now I'm falling in love with the talent and voice of Helen Merrill. I don't know how I didn't find out about her way sooner.

Her and Clifford are really great pair here.
