Re: Album top 5
Heres what I think is a pretty definitive top 10 Jazz list.
1.Benny Goodman Quintet- Carnegy Hall Concert 1939
2.Duke Ellington at Newpot- 1956
3.Lambert,Hendricks,and Ross,-Everybody's Boppin - 1961 (Lovie It)
4.Jimmy Smith- Back to the Chicken Shack - 1960
5.Basie Swings, Joe Williams Sings - 1965 (A Must)
6.Arturo Sandoval Hot house - 1998
7.David Sanborn - Pearls 1998 ( A Must)
9 Earl Hines Plays Ellington - 1978
10.George Benson - Breezin 1974 ( A Must)
Lastly maybe not this list but a fantastic piece of music
"Ray Sings,Basie Swings"
These are cuts Ray Charles recorded over 30 years ago.
The tracks were stripped down to basics (ie piano Bass and drums) last year, and the Basie Orchestra came into the studio and re recorded big band arrangements to everything then digitally remastered. Ray never sounded so good.
