1 album - 1 artist


Bright Moments

Recommended Posts

i started this thread at the "back room" please import your comments from there to here!

if you could only have 1 cd per artist (leader) in your collection which one would it be?

Double albums are o.k. but NO box sets, mosaics etc.!

I'll start with what i think is the BEST Monk cd out there:

I would agree, partially because this was the first Monk record I ever purchased. That alone puts me at a disadvantage. Oh the fidelity on there!

Ego - that's an interesting choice over Emergency (and Turn It Over), the Blue Notes (and the later Blue Notes), the Holdsworth stuff, etc.? I do like it, but it seems not so representative. But maybe no TW album is really representative.

I finally picked up a copy of The Old Bum's Rush - haven't gotten around to listening yet.
