 TOP 100 Jazz Albums Remember how we made a "Top 100" of jazz guitar albums a while ago? (TOP 100 Jazz Guitar Albums | TOP 10 Jazz Guitarists). I want to do the same for non-guitar jazz albums. Please post the jazz albums that you think need to be included the Top 100 list. Remember, no albums that have a guitarist as leader. Don't take this too serious please, it's just a list with a lot of great records that we can show to jazz beginners as recommended listening. Here's my list: *Miles Davis - Kind of Blue *John Coltrane - Giant Steps *Joshua Redman - Wish *Michael Brecker - Tales from the Hudson *Thelonious Monk - Straight No Chaser *Charlie Parker - Yardbird Suite: The Ultimate Collection *The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out *Chet Baker - Chet Baker Sings *Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert *Joćo Gilberto - Getz/Gilberto     |

| John Coltrane:A Love Supreme Roland Kirk: Rip, Rig and Panic Louis Armstrong: I don't know what's currently available, but I have a 2 LP set of hot five and seven recordings that belongs in any jazz collection. Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool Miles Davis: Bitches Brew Charlie Parker: Complete Savoy Sessions Ornette Coleman: Change of the Century Johnny Hodges: Three Shades of Blue Again, I don't know current available titles, but Duke Ellington and Count Basie belong in there somewhere.

| I'll duplicate some other's suggestions, no doubt. With all of the repackaging of older sides, I cannot be sure of which of specific album to choose in some cases... Kind of Blue - Miles (not just the best jazz album - the best album period) Saxophone Colossus - Sonny Rollins Shape of Jazz To Come - Ornette Coleman Any compilation of the Hot Club of France, or anything by Django A Love Supreme - Coltrane Bird's Savoy Recordings Monk's Blue Note Recordings At least two Duke Ellington Recordings (one early, one later & possibly one of the Carnegie Hall concerts) Mingus-Ah-Uhm (at least) Everybody Digs Bill Evans Something by Jelly Roll Morton (I don't know the reissues so well) " Fats Waller At least two by Louis Armstrong from different periods One of the solo & one of the small group sides by Art Tatum Benny Goodman's Carnegie Hall Concert Something by Coleman Hawkins (again, I'm not sure about the reissues) One Lester Young with Count Basie One Lester Young small group setting Les Stance a Sophie - Art Ensemble of Chicago (this is my favorite, but take your pick) The Koln Concert - Keith Jarrett Smack Up - Art Pepper (or Art Pepper meets the Rhythm Section) Ella Fitzgerald - The Duke Ellington Songbook Stan Getz - (I'm baffled here; pick one!) The Complete Blue Note Recordings - Herbie Nichols The Book Cooks - Booker Ervin Conference of the Birds - Dave Holland et. all (I like so many of Holland's recordings, it's hard to choose) In The Tradition - Vols I & II - Anthony Braxton (also Birth & Rebirth w/ Max Roach) Clifford Brown & Max Roach Sonny Side Up - Dizzy et. al Cool Struttin' - Sonny Clark John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman Escalator Over the Hill - Carla Bley Places We've Been - Bunky Green (an amazing, amazing sax player & musician) King Pleasure Sings (not really a greatest, but a pleasure for sure) Out There - Eric Dolphy Further Definitions - Benny Carter ...there's so many more - 100 seems like too small a number!
