Suggestions for a compilation CD

[Hardbopjazz]

A co worker asked me to make him a CD of jazz music. He never listened to jazz much, and wanted me to try to get him hooked.

So far these are what I selected.

1) Moanin' Art Blakey

2) Sidewinder Lee Morgan

3) Song for my Father Horace Silver

4) Bye Bye Blackbird Miles and Coltrane

What else should I include?

Some Atlantic era Coltrane?

Blue Train

I think you've got enough of the hard bop Blue Note era. I'd give him a taste of swing era stuff, Ben Webster or Hawkins or Young. A vocalist would be a good idea, too, like some Joe Williams, or maybe Joe and Basie to give a taste of big band jazz too.

Dan, I was going to include "Goin' to Chicago", Count Basie with Joe Williams and Lambert Hendricks and Ross. There's some great vocals on that album.

Then some good CTI stuff should get him goin'. Turrentine, Hubbard, Bags, etc.
