Kind of Blue?
Just listen again... Maybe Coltrane's Love Supreme..
Let's post about it.
Jazz has never recovered from this album to be completed more closed channels that are open: 59 was the twilight years of jazz, one that buries Pres and Lady Day, which saw its last creative renewalQuote:
Kind of Blue?
Can't argue much about calling those two the best but Mingus's Ah Um should be right up there too.
Headhunters. Herbie's classic album that changed music forever.
There is no such thing as "the best Jazz album". Jazz has no boundaries for experiments and innovations which is why you got Bebop, Hard Bop, Free Jazz, Fusion, Jazz-funk etc.
Yes, Miles was very famous and is due to this fact an artist to get into Jazz but if you explore this music, you´ll find so many artists and albums that were above their time. And they´re timeless. Jazz is not a competition but about originality and ingenuity. It´s a state of mind and freedom.
Here are some of my top records and they´re not everyone´s cup of tea and I´m glad it isn´t:

Other fav artists are Monk, Mingus, Charlie Parker, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner, Dizzy during his Afrocuban phase, Fusion stuff like Weather Report, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return To Forever, Al Di Meola etc. The list is endless. Btw, I think Miles´ best record was Bitches Brew. This record was the birth of Jazz-Fusion.
Wow! I love Ornette Coleman...been a long time since I cued it up. Going to do that tonight. Let me contribute a fav of mine: Thelonius Monk's Straight, No Chaser.
And not to forget Ornette´s Harmolodic & Free funk sickness with his Prime Time band :) :

I'll agree with Kind of Blue. Amazing
gonna go out on a limb and mention Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet
I've been playing a lot of Monk this year after ignoring him for so long. He's astonishing.Quote:
