    Waaayyyy too many to choose from. I pretty much like all forms of jazz but favor the traditional small group combos and solo chord melody players.

    Jeez, same here. And we disagree on everything else. Interesting.

    Probably Jim Hall “Jazz Guitar” and Quincy Jones “The Quintessence.” Hard to pick a favorite but if I could do a favorite album run, then the Miles second quintet albums … Miles Smiles, Nefertiti, Sorcerer.

    Out of control, this album:

So this is definitely the first jazz album I ever listened to (and a lot) on my cheap Sony walkman copy in 1987 on my way to school in the city center. And definitely time to revisit.

    I overstated, no doubt. Actually, I agree with all of your learning advice for jazz guitar, or I should say I try to learn from it myself. You do emphasize the importance of learning tunes above all else, but when I see you play solo guitar on YouTube, I can’t imagine approaching that level without a lot of fundamentals first. But I am definitely in love with the album in question!

    Cannot make up my mind, but wow, what a flashback!

    His singing is... not good, but the sheer eccentricity of it works on the track "Herman Wright."

    Here it is on YouTube:

    This one I haven't heard in ages (has never crossed my mind either)!

    Whereas THIS one has been playing constantly ever since, somewhere in the back of mind.

    (Both were on the Essential album... I liked both, but memory doesn't seem to stick to any obvious rules...)

    mine is portrait in jazz

    first jazz record I ever heard - and still unbeatable

    (unless you count anything recorded by Bird or Bud Powell)
