Kind of Blue
Coltrane Vanguard Box
Mingus Ah Um
Art Tatum-the Complete Pablo Solo Masterpieces
A Love Supreme
Ornette-Beauty is Rare Thing Box set
Miles Bootleg Series vol. 1-second great quintet
Andrew Hill-Point of Departure
Herbie Hancock-Maiden Voyage

^ Fixed. I guess your thought was "this thread is not called 'Your favorite jazz-rock/fusion albums' ".

^ I mean there are jazz influences ... it's JRF, isn't it? I know that's a pretty stupid thing I said back there.

At their live shows, the 70s version of Crimson was mostly a jazz-rock jam band.

Here is my list; although it does vary slightly with time, these albums are pretty much it for me:
1. Saxophone Colossus (Sonny Rollins) 2. Speak No Evil (Wayne Shorter) 3. In 'n Out (Joe Henderson) 4. Kind of Blue (Miles Davis) 5. Adam's Apple (Wayne Shorter) 6. Anniversary (Stan Getz) 7. Don Cherry - Featuring Ornette Coleman and Steve Lacy (Don Cherry) 8. Pilgrimage (Michael Brecker) 9. E.S.P. (Miles Davis Quintet) 10. 1 + 1 (Herbie Hancock & Wayne Shorter) If I had to include more contemporary albums, I'd certainly mention Kurt Rosenwinkel's 'Chords (Live at the Village Vanguard)', and 'Kids (Live at Dizzy's)' with Joe Lovano and Hank Jones. Both fantastic in very different ways. Cheers, Carlo. Edited by carlomuscat - 29 Nov 2014 at 4:52am |

Without postulating that these albums are "the greatest" in every sense:
Third Stream-wise:
For some reason, I have always respected, but never liked Miles Davis, John Coltrane or Mahavishnu Orchestra.
