BillF Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 If jazz includes blues, this may have been the first: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coda Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 It was Weather Report - I sing the body Electric or maybe Hot Tuna? or possibly School Days from Stanley Clarke. My music instructor in junior high school nicknamed me Yakkity Sax which I thought was jazz. I now know he was ribbing me hard.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontooneous Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Charlie Parker, The Verve Years 1952-54, a Verve double bought at a garage sale in 1982. I didn't understand the music at all, but felt the need to figure it out. I told myself I'd listen every day for a week or two. Five days later, I owned three other Charlie Parker LPs.

Chuck Nessa Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 My first jazz lp was: but my first jazz record was a Buddy Bolden cylinder. I fear I donated it to the local Good Will when we moved to Buffalo. Lightening the load. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Wes Montgomery's "Full House". This was around 1976, shortly after I started to play guitar. I was blown away by his playing. I still am 44 years later.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Duckworth Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 A slighty more worldly friend brought this over when I was 14-I found one in the cut-out bin of the sort that were ubiquitous in retail establishments in that day. Now, at best, I found this record "interesting," but the first jazz record that I dug from the second I put it on right through the run out groove was a pretty rocked out newish Miles Davis record: A Tribute to Jack Johnson.
