Favorite Jazz Tune

Posts: 1918 Threads: 60

I've thought long and hard on this one ... and I still can't narrow it down. There are so many great jazz performances and classics. Some cd's beg to be played start to finish time and again.

Lately, I've lived in the Morello / Brubeck area, for unfortunately obvious reasons. Everyone praises the Time Out and Time Changes cd's. But, I'm really digging the Near-Myth cd and the Jazz Impressions cd's (love the New York and Japan ones). The sound of the instruments are so pure and natural. Just simply beautiful.

So, what's your favorite jazz recording ... and why. If you know the rundown on the kit used, that would be marvelous information to include.

Jump on in.

Joe used a sweet Ludwig SuperClassic in Silver Sparkle. 22,13,16 with a supra.

I would love to know his head choice ... if you happen to know.

I have to go with Misterioso by Thelonious Monk. Roy Haynes on drums. It's a musical amusement park!

A Night in Tunisia does it for me. A well written piece of music sounds good no matter who covers it.

Wow. It's impossible to narrow it down to one. Sheesh, there are so many great tunes (thank you Jazz Masters). I couldn't even pick a favorite song from a favorite artist. It's like, logarithmically impossible!

Man...IMPOSSIBLE to pick one. I start thinking about Miles and then someone mentions Ornette! Or, I'm thinking about Keith Jarrett and then someone mentions Shirley Horn or Dexter Gordon or Charles Lloyd or.....you get the idea. Burger Kin

For a hippie player in high school, listening to Swiss Movement (Eddie Harris and Les McCann) cut Compared To What was a real eye opener. Still one of my favorite songs.

Hey George! A band I was in in the early 70s did that tune in and around Seattle. It is a great one. Still timely too.

Nardis has been my favorite for the last few years, and before that for a long time it was Naima. You can see I am secretly a hopeless romantic.
