vinyl addict Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I listen to Miles Davis almost every Sunday morning. RowBearToe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 My daughter is reading a book called the acoustic rooster at school which is about jazz musicians baryard animals (Mule Davis, Ella Finchgerald, Duck Ellington etc). Anyway, since she started talking about it in school and learning more about jazz she's wanted to listen to jazz records. I have some Coltrane and Miles Davis, but she keeps asking me to get some Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald records. How can I not take advantage of this opportunity to share jazz with her right?haha So, that being said, do you guys have any recommendations for albums to check out by Ella and Louis?

dickcritter Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 My collection of Music Matters releases so far. I cannot recommend these enough. I'd like to eventually pick up all the 33's that the've done, but I've just been cherry-picking my favorite titles for now. futre, kk-downing and Blaine 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arem Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 You've got a wide range of stuff there from big band swing to hard bop to 70's fusion and jazz funk. Listen to them all and you can begin to sort out what kind of jazz really connects with you. I will say that Joe Henderson record is one of my favorite jazz records, LMK if you want to get rid...

lexicondevil Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 So, that being said, do you guys have any recommendations for albums to check out by Ella and Louis? Everything I have bought by Armstrong has been consistent. I'm not a big Ella fan, Billie is my groove, but you can buy the record Ella did with Louis and knock it out in one shot?

Blaine Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I ended up doing the subscription for the first set (shipped over 6 months to spread out the cost), so I will have Blue Train and Grant Green's Idle Moments this Wednesday. I'm very excited to hear what these sound like. If I'm as impressed as you guys are, I'll definitely be subscribing to the second set. Would you mind sharing what that cost? I can't find any information on their site regarding pricing. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achillesstand7 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The first set is 12 records, sent 2 at a time. There wasn't a discount for doing the subscription, so it's just $35 a piece plus shipping. Is just convenient to have them spread out for budgeting and what not. So, I think it was like $75 for the first shipment of two records. Blaine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Armstrong was the first jazz figure I connected with. I loved the pop stuff (What A Wonderful World) but when I moved to New Orleans, all that was talked about was his hot 7 and early 20's and 30's music. There's a reason the guy was the biggest jazz artist in the world, he was simply the best trumpeter for a long time. His early music is crazy good.

TheCrateWriters Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I found a copy of the Jimmy Wisner Trio's "Apperception" at my local shop for $1. To date, it is my favorite jazz album that I own. If you guys ever find a copy or want to grab one online I HIGHLY suggest grabbing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you get to choose which records, and how far in advance do you have to let them know? Just browsing their selection, I've been thinking about giving the subscription a go, but I don't even know where to start. There are a couple I know I would like for certain, but after that it would be like fumbling in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achillesstand7 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I believe they just send them in the order that they are listed in the subscription page. So, I got Coltrane's Blue Train and Grant Green's Idle Moments today, numbers 1 and 2. It sounds like you can request how they are delivered and the frequency they are delivered. I just asked to have them sent 2 at a time, once a month, but you may be able to make other requests. They look awesome. I can't wait to listen to them tomorrow.

arem Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ambassador Satch is a pretty good beginning point, it's from the 50's but doesn't have the novelty type songs he was becoming popular for by then. If you like it then look for the collections of Satch with the Hot 5 and Hot 7 from the 20's and 30's which is the material that really established him as the definitive jazz trumpeter.

somethingvinyl Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 ^ Damn, I wrote Hot 8 originally, thinking about the current Hot 8 Brass Band. Yes, Hot 7. 20's and 30's recordings. This is something I have and will sell for $15 ppd. http://www.discogs.com/sell/release/3372069?ev=rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinatra.45 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Got turned on to this jazz drummer by the name of Makaya McCraven who put out an album in January called "In The Moment". It's up over on his bandcamp page and is definitely worth checking out because of how the album was created and well, how good it is. It is available in various formats and of course, double LP. "Nearly 48 hours of live improvised performance recorded at 1 venue over 12 months and 28 shows - culled, cut, rendered, and remixed into 19 potent pieces of organic beat music." Anyway, I thought it sounded pretty good so there you have it. https://intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/in-the-moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgoodtobefree Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 So are the Music Matters issues definitely worth it? Considering getting Somethin Else but they're $15 more than the standard issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickcritter Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 So are the Music Matters issues definitely worth it? Considering getting Somethin Else but they're $15 more than the standard issue. Absolutely. I am eight reissues deep and every one sounds amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound so amazing that you'll immediately throw your Blue Note 75s in the trash. Easily the best sound records you will ever own and will spoil you forever.
