Some other favorites are Dexter Gordon, Bud Powell, and Wayne Shorter.
Jazz makes my day so much better.

he's the only person who has stood out to me but i haven't really dove into the artists too much

i got into it during college working on homework in coffee shops. these days i'll usually start a pandora station based on thelonious.

Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Art Blakely, and Miles Davis (his non-jazz fusion years).

Fuck yeah, glad someone made this thread! I have been needing some new jazz to listen to. I have only been listening to it for 4 years maybe so I am not really well versed on lots of artists. I have listened to a lot of material on the ones I do know about. Here are some of my favorite songs by some of my favorite artists.

edit: I changed the video for "Manteca". I prefer the above recording.
Thelonious Monk - Evidence - Japan (1963)

First one is a cliche, but its so good that it doesnt matter.

This one is amazing, sort of between A love supreme and Meditations/Ascension etc. Some amazing Pharoah playing.

Some harsher Coltrane, some of the last stuff he did before his death

The best :

Sleazy · « **Reply #8 on:** December 25, 2011, 08:32:28 AM »

almost forgot about chicken fat by mel brown. kind of bluesy but really got a lot of good plays out of this one.

DARIA · « **Reply #9 on:** December 29, 2011, 07:53:39 PM »

i've always dug any jazz with buddy on drums. The dude kills it on drums!

two jazz legends

i love to play me some in the early morning just to set the mood for an awesome day ahead.

I dig the most the whole Impulse! catalogue. Everything is amazing: the music, the musicians, the era, the covers, the graphic design...

And besides Coltrane and Oliver Nelson, one of my favorites is Charles Mingus:

_UniversalTruth_ · « **Reply #12 on:** January 05, 2012, 02:49:48 PM »

There was a Jazz-thread already! No more?

Anyway, Mccoy Tyner is the man:

This was on Blue Note Rec.'s facebook today, awesome:

Here is a fusion great:

RightCoastBiased · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2012, 09:46:07 PM »

I really dig cannonball addereley, this track is awesome.

I once heard a insanely awesome version of this song on NPR, done somewhere live in France. But I could never find the recording. I also dig freddie hubbard pretty hard.

One of my favorite songs by freddie.

I saw him live at Yoshi's SF before he passed, unfortunately he was not up to par. Still awesome to have seen him.

"soul sauce". haha. had to.

Cockaigne · « **Reply #16 on:** January 08, 2012, 01:11:11 PM »

Usually I listen when i listen jazz i listen to instrumental jazz only, or with female singers only.....
there's some stuff in this thread i know, but thankfully, also some new stuff to discover.

I actually don't give a shit about that whole jazzsinging-sinatra-kinda-stuff, with the big bands and all....But this song is magic, and this singer, damn, i love his voice, like evry word hold a lifetime or whatever....i'm taken over by the song.

There's another version with only Monk, which also is out of this world (no pun)
