I'm going to test this out here. I see quite a few members have been posting a solid bit of great Jazz listenings… So, I figured it'd be pretty cool if we could have a thread entirely dedicated to all things Jazz. And I mean anything - From the early beginnings of the late 19th century, to Bebop/Hard-Bop, to Avant-Garde, and on to the Moon.

Post whatever you want... videos, pictures, news… This is a free-range.

I've been in a Bebop/Hard-Bop dig lately, so I'll impart this cool little documentary where Bob Cranshaw talks about his time with Lee Morgan.

:cool:

Speaking of jazz, Charles Mingus's The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady was the album which left a HUGE impression on me in college (along with Coltrane's A Love Supreme). I guess these two have to be at the top of best albums in jazz history. Anyway, here is a track from Mingus' album that absolutely blew me to the wall every time I blasted it from my speakers... (to my friends' chagrin, those with really conservative or non-existent musical tastes)

This here is a passionate, intense and cathartic jazz album. Not for listening to too frequently.

Excellent album; for me Tyner is one of the giants of jazz. Good job!
Yeah, before this album came out, they wondered what Tyner and Jones could do without Coltrane. After it came out, they were thinking what Coltrane could have done without Tyner and Jones. :)

Listening to this very famous record - hadn't heard it properly before, and as soon as the trumpet solo in Moanin' began, I was like totally mindblown! Turns out it's Lee Morgan...
