Dave Brubeck:

Brubeck A La Mode

Time Changes

At Carnegie Hall

These three CD's stay in heavy rotation on all of my iPods.

There are others, but I'll mention just these in order to leave space for others to comment.

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue

Louie Bellson: Thunderbird

Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers: Caravan

Rich vs Roach

Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out

all classics and also in my iPod in heavy rotation Cool1

Kind of Blue is essential

I like The Navy Swings - Shelly Manne. I'm going to have to get another copy because I'm burning a hole in this one.

Any of the Great Jazz Trio recordings with Tony Williams/Ron Carter/Hank Jones.

Weather Report - 'Night Passage'

Miles Davis - 'Kind of Blue'

Wayne Shorter - 'Speak No Evil'

John

A love supreme - coltrane, jones

freedom suite - roach

Not sure who sang it but that "Girl from Ipaneeda" is a song that is stuck in my head for whatever reason. Heard it somewhere..........

And "Smooth Operator" by Sade was decent back in the day too.

Jimmy Cobb on Wes Montgomery's "The Verve Jazz Sides" (Double CD)

Elvin Jones on Coltrane's "Heavyweight Champion" (multi-disc set)

Art Blakey's "Caravan"

Tony Williams on "Kind of Blue"

Connie Kay on Milt Jackson & Coltrane's "Bags & Trane"

Any Buddy Rich album

Krupa vs Rich (or, something like that - it's smokin')

This is a trick question for me, as you can tell. Too many great ones to single out just one.

B

Ummmm.........Tony Williams didn't play on Kind of Blue.

That would be Jimmy Cobb sir.
