Some classic Mingus there, Great big performer and personality in 50's - 70's jazz (still underrated in my opinion- quite a composer as well)

…ironic trivia…Mingus received his only Grammy Award for the liner notes of this album…not the music…

Bless him, Its a great album and I think it was his fave too. There are some great Ellington-esque moments and some really nice orchestrations, although some of it does come across as being a little contrived.

Julian Lage - this guy is an amazing Jazz guitarist. Highly recommend his "Sounding Point" and "Gladwell" albums.

 

He's the one on the right if you haven't heard of him.

My recent discovery. "Bitches Brew" is too different from other Miles Davis' albums and IMO it's Davis' best work.





"Romantic Warrior" is my all-time favorite. I don't think that I should give any introduction here.

From Bitches Brew on out Miles was a different animal altogether. If you like what hear on the regular version of Bitches Brew, see if you can get your hands on the Complete Bitches Brew Sessions...amazing stuff.

 

You might also want to find a copy of Get Up With It.

+1 on the Miles autobiography!! Highly entertaining - an inside look at his career from a "wet-behind the ears" teenager in NYC all the way through the 1980s. For the jazz fan, the book is hard to put down - it's written like you are just sitting there listening to Miles talk.

I saw McCoy Tyner years ago and his pianist, Carlos McKinney, was a beast. An acquaintance of mine, Dezron Douglas, is currently gigging with Ravi Coltrane as his bassist - he's come a long way from playing small clubs in  Hartford, Connecticut, so I have to plug him.

I realize this thread is pretty much one giant recomendations list to begin with, but would anyone care to recommend some tunes to a relative newbie of the jazz genre?

I know I love the classics (Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Dave Brubeck [R.I.P]), but beyond that, the most jazz I've listened to has been from the Cowboy Bebop soundtracks (good stuff if you haven't heard of it)
