Hello Everybody
Lovely morning today wasn't it? Looks like it's getting a bit cold now though, so wrap up warm unless you want to catch a chill.
Aside from discussing the weather (which is always a good way to pass the time of day) I wondered if any of you could suggest some nice Jazz LP's for me to buy/listen to?
I have a pretty meagre Jazz collection, culled largely from car boot sales and random finds in second hand record shops, but after bunging some tracks from a few of my scratchy old jazz LP's on my Vulture Christmas mix, I have been digging out more jazz to listen to.
The stuff I'm enjoying at the moment are late 50's - late 60's jazz, vocal and instrumental. I'm afraid I wouldn't know Be Bop from a Flip Flop, so excuse my lack of knowledge as to what is modal, hard bop, etc etc
Basically if it is 50's/60's, not funky and not easy listening I seem to like it. (I'd put Stan Getz and a lot of the West Coast cool school in the easy listening bracket - sorry if you are a fan, but it's not my thing - although I do like Chet Baker.....)
Afro-Cuban is good too.....
I think that Post Bop is the stuff I'm after???????
Any recommendations?
Pointers as to what are the best Blue Note, Riverside, Verve etc releases are also most appreciated as I have bought the ones I have got on a very ad-hoc basis rather than seeking out particular titles.
Oh and I always enjoyed what they played in the Jazz Room at Southport before they stopped playing Jazz at the Jazz Room at Southport.
Confused yet?
To summarise: What are good non-funky Jazz LP's
I thank you.
