JSngry Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Look at how many great jazz players' last name begin with M. In my collection, the biggest single artists areas are for Davis, Ellington, Parker, Rollins, & Coltrane, but the biggest single letter section by far is M, #13 of 26, smack dab in the middle. M is for Monk/Mingus, that's good enough for me. But there's SO much more! Go ahead - go to any record store w/even a halfass jazz selection and see where the highest concentration of worthy artists is - it's under M. See if that holds true in your own collection as well.

Jazzmoose Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Holy shit; I never noticed. Not only Mingus and Monk, but with Mobley and Morgan, no other letter has a chance. Throw in my Pat Metheny obsession and it's a landslide! (Not to mention all the other artists...). Yep; M wins by a landslide here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmoose Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Somethin' in here labeled "Monktail Creative Music Concern" as well; wonder what that is? Also Rene Marie! And speaking of McLaughlin, what was that group he was involved with...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 As far as M taking up most of my collection (more than any other letter, that is) I noticed that too awhile ago. I have about 23 shelves of cd (50 to a shelve or so) and M takes up about 3 of them. Don't forget Howard McGhee, in case nobody mentioned him. Shelley Manne too.
