if you play the trumpet you should definitely check out Clifford Brown. He was a bop player that died in the 50's in a car accident. he had incredible chops. its hard to beleve anyone can play bop so cleanly on a trumpet.

I have a few of the Blue Note RVG remasters and have been quite impressed with them so far. Anyone here have Kind of Blue on SACD? (I believe there are 2 US editions, one Stereo Only, the other has Multi-Channel).

yo-yo ma's obrigado brazil cd is an awsome hyrbrid jazz album

 

[Bob Pepin]

Try Michel Camilo's "On Fire" or "Thru My Eyes"

In addition to Kind of Blue and Birth of Cool, you may want to pick up Miles to go by Miles Davis. It's a tad more upbeat than the other two but still a good album.

Hiker,

Don't write off all the new jazz. Try some of Herb Alpert's newer works like "Second Wind". Herb plays with a lot of passion and his music is well recorded.

don't miss out on some of Bill Bruford's jazz either. especiaal If Summer Had It's Ghost is great. he's a great drummer himself, with great taste, and he plays with very talented people.
