Recommendations for jazz on vinyl

[avinunca1]

I am trying to build on my very limited vinyl jazz collection. I like my jazz traditional, for example four or five piece bands. Have as many recordings with trumpet and sax as I want for now.

I would like more piano, guitar, preferably with some great double bass in there. Already have a few Oscar Peterson records.

Can anyone suggest any albums or artists I might listen to.

Try Bill Evans Trio with Paul Chambers on bass

 

[Hayward]

Try Bill Evans Trio with Scott La Faro on bass

Better now :^

 

[reformed audiophile]

Yes, of course.

if you want your jazz traditional, I assume you mean new Orleans style trad...

In which case, kid Ory, Sidney Bechet, or even British exponents such as Chris Barber, Saints Jazz Band.

Unless you mean Bebop, or perhaps modern jazz, in which case just about anything from the mid-late 50s and early 60s will fit the bill!

I love some of Alice Coltrane's work though some is admittedly "difficult." I love the "Ptah the El Daoud" album and particularly the track "Turiya And Ramakrishna;" some of the most beautiful jazz piano ever laid down in my opinion.


The album "Journey into Satchidananda" is a gorgeous, though somewhat experimental fusion of middle eastern, Indian and traditional jazz. Her harp playing is just sublime.

I have assumed that you don't mean "trad jazz" in the New Orleans sense, purely on the grounds of taste!

Here's a quartet for you.

Here's a quartet for you.

Great recommendations Wizzkid. Mingus and Ellington are two of my absolute favourites, particularly Ellington's suites.

Modern Jazz Quartet

Another Mingus recommendation, this is very accessable and a favourite of the man himself.....

For guitar try...

which is very mellow

For another piano giant try Monk eg....

Brian say's Kenny G is ace. :Tumble:

 

[sparkmeister]

+1 for Bill Evans but this is his masterpiece imho:

And regarding Oscar Peterson, I assume you have:

Oh and +1 for Kenny Burrell too
