HutchFan Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 If you were to make a list of your "desert-island discs" from the 1980s, what would they be? The only rules: - The music must have been recorded between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 1989. - Release dates don't matter; archival recordings are fine, as long as they were made in the 1980s. List however many records you wish. One or ten or fifty. To get the ball rolling, here are five that would go on my list: - Andrew Hill - Shades (Soul Note) - Bobby Hutcherson - Farewell Keystone (Theresa/Evidence) - James Newton - Luella (Gramavision) - Quest - Quest II (Storyville) - Jack Walrath - Wholly Trinity (Muse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who wants to collaborate with me on an 80s jazz project. But I'm not anywhere near ready to begin yet. At this point, we're just kicking around ideas. But I think something will happen eventually. So what would be on YOUR 80s jazz list, Rab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duaneiac Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Stan Getz was on a roll in the 1980's.

Dan Gould Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 This one certainly is more up my alley than the 70s was. Just thought of a few of many: Al Cohn: Rifftide (Timeless), No Problem (Xanadu) relatedly, Don Joseph, One of a Kind (Uptown) Brian Lynch: Peer Pressure (Criss Cross) Ralph Moore: Round Trip (Reservoir) Mulgrew Miller: Work (Landmark) Scott Hamilton, Tenor Shoes (Concord) 20th Concord Festival All-Stars (Concord) - Ray Brown Trio w. Gene Harris plus Sweets and Red Holloway - how can you go wrong? Ray Brown Trio, BAM BAM BAM (Concord) - the definitive performance of Summertime by Gene Harris contained therein.
