Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) Well "My first _________" would just be a disjointed list of whatever, and to what end? I don't know what end this brings up except its sort of inspired by the Name Three People thing and the fact that many of us discovered more music by following up on other dates by the same musicians. Anyway, let's get away from Booby. My first Woody Shaw was Master of The Art with Turre, Mulgrew Miller, Booby, Tony Reedus and Stafford James.

Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Woody Shaw - Little Red's Fantasy with Ronnie Mathews, Stafford James, Frank Strozier, Eddie Moore My first Strozier was Fantastic Frank Strozier with Wynton Kelly, Booker Little, PC and Jimmy Cobb.

Big Beat Steve Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) My first Strozier was Fantastic Frank Strozier with Wynton Kelly, Booker Little, PC and Jimmy Cobb. Same here. So you beat me to it. To carry things on, my first Wynton Kelly LEADER record I ever bought was the KEEP IT MOVING Milestone twofer (M-47026). Kosher (or halal ) enough now? So depending on your preferences use either "Wynton Kelly" (Riverside 254) feat. Burrell, Chambers, PJJ, or "Kelly Blue" (Riverside 298) feat. Nat Adderley, Jaspar, Golson, Chambers, J. Cobb to carry on now. Edited June 25, 2010 by Big Beat Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Well then I am going with Chamber's Music cuz it really is the first PC-as-leader date I bought, and it brings us back to Coltrane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a hunch all along this was going to run in circles. Trane just seems to be the most unavoidable musician on a jazz forum when it comes to name dropping. Had to look up who is on "Chambers Music", but I am going to pick the only way out of this "closed shop of jazz names" and state that my FIRST Kenny Drew leader LP ever bought was "New Faces - New Sounds - Kenny Drew Trio" (BN 5023) feat. Curly Russel and Art Blakey. Edited June 25, 2010 by Big Beat Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 First Art Blakey record I picked up was the Conn CD of Orgy in Rhythm, vol. 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) My first Blakey was Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk, bought in 1961 on British version of Atlantic LP Edited June 25, 2010 by BillF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 1960 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 My first Thelonious Monk album was Brilliant Corners. Hope I did that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 My first Thelonious Monk album was Brilliant Corners. Hope I did that right? Yup. From Brilliant Corners I am going to go with Sonny Rollins, my first Sonny recording was A Night at the Village Vanguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Ptah Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 My first Sonny Rollins recording was a Prestige two-fer, "Saxophone Colossus and More". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 My first Sonny Rollins recording was a Prestige two-fer, "Saxophone Colossus and More". This insistence on "first" is very demanding, as I have to try to remember back to the 1950s to records long since disappeared! That said, my first Rollins was an EP (Extended Play) 45 rpm vinyl disc with "The Way You Look Tonight" on one side and "I Want To Be Happy" on the other. IIRC, Art Blakey and Monk were on this session - the bassist I don't remember! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Well, its an estimate of your first, you don't have to be certain that you're remembering correctly. My first Blakey is sort of an odd one in terms of expectations. A Jazz Message on Impulse. This was at the time I was heavily into Coltrane and I had moved into the Impulse years. So I picked this one up because Tyner was on it. Hey folks, lots of possibilities for first Stitt recording! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Good one. I gotta open things up by going with my first Tina Brooks: The Complete Tina Brooks on Mosaic.

carnivore Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 (edited) My first Blakey: The Jazz Messengers at the Cafe Bohemia 1955 Art, Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins, Horace Silver I guess I first heard it c. 1956 and it was probably the first time I'd heard Mobley too.

My first Stitt was Sonny Stitt and the Big Brass, which gives you plenty of scope, as on the sessions were Renauld Jones, Blue Mitchell, Dick Vance, Jimmy Cleveland, Matthew Gee, Willie Ruff, Duke Jordan, Perri Lee, Joe Benjamin, Frank Brown and Philly Joe Jones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to go with first KD recording. A hard call, its either this one or the Showboat recording on Time but I am almost certain it was Quiet Kenny. One listen to Blue Spring Shuffle and I was hooked. With Tommy Flanagan, PC and Art Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try to move this forward by going with my first Art Taylor: Mr. AT with Marc Cary, Willie Williams, Abraham Burton and Tyler Mitchell. Hope I haven't stopped things in their tracks but there are always other Taylor recordings to get back to the hard bop sweet spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
