Oh, this is a fun game.
Miles Davis You Should Listen To, Kind of In Order
(This is interesting because, in large part, it's the development of jazz from immediately postwar through fusion)
1. Birth of the Cool (Capitol, 1957 -- but recorded in 1949)
2. Round About Midnight (Columbia, 1957; recorded 1955-6)
3. Kind of Blue (Columbia, 1959). If you listen to nothing else, listen to this.
4. Sketches of Spain (Columbia, 1960).
5. In A Silent Way (Columbia, 1969). Fusion/electric jazz starts here..
6. Bitches Brew (Columbia, 1970). GIANT of the genre. You're either gonna love this or hate it.
Jazz You Should Listen To That Isn't Miles Davis:
John Coltrane:
- Blue Train (Prestige/Blue Note, 1958)
- Giant Steps (Atlantic, 1959)
- My Favorite Things (Atlantic, 1961)
- Live at Birdland (Impulse, 1964)
- A Love Supreme (Impulse, 1965)
Charles Mingus:
- Mingus Ah Um (Columbia, 1959)
Dave Brubeck
- Time Out (Columbia, 1959)
Ornette Coleman
- The Shape of Jazz to Come (Atlantic, 1959)
Not for nothing, but pay attention to what an outstanding year 1959 was.
- dbcurtis 6y agoI will add: Anything Stephane Grappelli. A traditionalist might tell you to learn the head and chord changes to the 100 most recorded jazz standards as a core basis for listening/learning. Along that line consider creating play lists that are all the same tune from different artists.
