After scoring on 1,000 or so records (yeah, I over-estimated
) I landed on a few hundred Miles Davis records. A lot of them were unopened. I was convinced by good ol' Todd from ToddTheVinylJunkie that the records should be opened - and I was hit by the most musical and amazing vinyl experience I have ever heard. I argued that they were too valuable - they are now even more valuable to me now that I've heard them!
I have listened to Miles Davis on and off before, but now that I'm not in classes, and now that I have started to get the hang of vinyl, I, for the first time, immensely enjoyed his material. I was able to soak it all in, and it's been a wonderful ride. So far, I have gone through the now-open B+tches Brew, and the now-opened "Kind of Blue". I went through an already-open "Tribute to Jack Johnson". I have virtually every Miles Davis live and studio recording, it appears (I have already filled three boxes with all his stuff!). While I hope to go through all of these records one day, I would like to know if any of you guys had a good place to start at. I have a pretty open mind and will try anything - but I'd love to hear the the more energetic and emotional jazz songs from him. Fusion would be great also. So far, I just want to steer away from his "sad and slow" music, which I have already heard on a few of his albums. I just don't have the balls for that stuff JUST yet
If I could get some direction I'd be able to enjoy my turntable even more. It's so cool when you score on a very nice guy's collection, to discover a lot of nice and valuable things. Aside from the Miles Davis discoveries, I've received an un-opened and limited edition Bob Marley LP (a wailers LP that had a strange cover, which opened up like a lighter - hah) and an un-opened picture disc from The Talking Heads - "Speaking in Tongues".
Thanks in advance!
