Chrome Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 The live Art Blakey disc w/Bud Powell and Barney Wilen sitting in on a couple of tracks is great, although I can't remember it's exact name ... Clifford Jordan: The Night of the Mark VII is really good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILLYQ Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 'Mingus at Carnegie Hall'- not a great disc, but I was there.

Geils- Full House James Brown- Love Power Peace(no home should be without it!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Costello @ the El Mocombo Hey I was there! My wife, who's a journalist, got me in. Her hearing's still affected 25 years later. The cd captures it pretty well but it leaves out a guest appearance by Nick Lowe who sang "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catesta Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 (edited) In no particular order: 1969 All Star Tribute to Duke Ellington That's a good one! Another live recording I really enjoy... Very intimate, and I love the vibes Duke gives off. Edited October 13, 2004 by catesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 What...no mention of Shelly Manne's Live at the Blackhawk? Those five discs are ones I return to with great regularity. That band is as crisp as the snap of a chalk line. And, it's very well recorded. Up over and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rat Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 In no particular order: 1969 All Star Tribute to Duke Ellington That's a good one! Another live recording I really enjoy... Very intimate, and I love the vibes Duke gives off. I liked this record a lot, too. I've also seen critics who have trashed it. Never quite got that. --eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 What's not to like? It's Duke being very much Duke. I find a spin it a lot on Sundays when taking it easy. It is for me a comfort cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Mingus at Antibes has been mentioned a number of times and I totally agree. Also, have to put "Mingus In Wonderland" right up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAL Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 The Audience With Betty Carter Another to Art Blakey's A Night At Birdland Duke at Basin Street East '64 Duke - Paris Jazz Concert Duke - In the Uncommon Market Come to think of it, all of Duke's concerts I've heard are favourites, some more than others.

paul secor Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Many of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I'll add some that I haven't seen posted: Henry "Red" Allen: Feeling Good (Columbia) Ornette Coleman: Coleman Classics Vol. 1 and it's companion album - The Fabulous Paul Bley Quintet Ornette Coleman: Lenox School of Jazz Concert Miles Davis and John Coltrane: Live in Stockholm - 1960 The Paul Desmond Quartet Live (A&M) and its companion - Paul Desmond (Artists House) Paul Desmond with the Modern Jazz Quartet: The Only Recorded Performance Zoot Sims in Paris (UA) The Real Lee Konitz and its companion - Peter Ind Presents Lee Konitz in Jazz from the Nineteen Fifties (Wave) Charlie Parker at the Open Door Mal Waldron & Steve Lacy: Let's Call This Steve Lacy & Mal Waldron: Herbe de L'Oubli & Snake Out Coleman Hawkins: Live at the Golden Circle Stockholm 1963 (Dragon) Ben Webster: Montmartre recordings (Black Lion) Pres: Olivia Davis' Patio Lounge, Washington D.C. recordings Bud Powell: Shaw Nuff (Xanadu) - especially the tracks with Johnny Griffin Ornette's Golden Circle Recordings and Sonny's Our Man in Jazz have been mentioned, but they're both long time favorites of mine, and I thought I'd give them another shout.
