Love the list. But how about Sting’s Dream of the Blue Turtles or Donald Fagen Nightfly? Joe Jackson has some good jazz albums.
And why not Chicago’s famous Patricia Barber from the Green Mill? or New York’s Dave’s True Story?
I’d put them there. 🙂
Monk’s “Underground,” Mc Coy Tyner “The Real McCoy,Oregon”Out of the Woods,” Thomas Marriott “Constraints and Liberations,” Branford Marsalis “Eternal,” Wayne Shorter “alegria.” Great list, lots of fun!
Fantastic list. Some ordering would be nice for us Jazz novices.
How can I buy the first 640? Seriously – are you planning to source them – any of them? Some of them are very enticing. Thanks for the list!!
They usually have numerous juice, mods obtainable
and you can rent vape hookahs.
I have many ideas for you, can we talk with skype?
