Recommend me some jazz albums
Hi
I have a small amount of jazz albums I've listened to for years. Always makes me feel good and I can listen to them forever without getting tired of them.
My favorites -
Miles - Kind of Blue (classic)
Coltrane - Ballads (recommened by Robben )
and a dozen of others...

I've heard a lot of jazz but I don't know where go from here. No avantgarde, bitches brew kind of music. Hopefully acoustic, melodic jazz with lots of "space". Piano, trumpet, sax, it doesn't matter. I'm thinking 50's and 60's music - the classic years.

Some ideas I have
Cannonball Adderly - SOMETHIN' ELSE
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain

Thanks!
Although I love Nat, I prefer instrumental.
Wes, Smokin' at the Half Note - That's his masterpiece right?

Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz To Come

May be a stretch if you are opposed to all "avant garde," but the track "Lonely Woman" is well worth your time to listen.

Yeah, "Winter Moon" is one of the best "with strings" Jazz records ever. Usually "with strings" records are way too schmarmy, but Pepper is, perhaps, at his best on Winter Moon.

Additional suggestions of great, but fairly mainstream Jazz, as based on what has been posted in this thread, that seems to be your main area of interest:

Charles Mingus - Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus

Oliver Nelson - Blues And The Abstract Truth and also Screamin' The Blues

Almost any of the late 50's to mid 60's Ellington big band Lps

If you're interested in more titles like these or some more adventurous Jazz titles, pm me!
