Enjoy!

Thanks Spannko, it's running now and I like it!

Beautiful album !

I’m a big fan of Jazz music, but this one I’d pass on. It’s a snooze fest.

Thanks for your feedback John. What sort of jazz are you into? And do you have any recommendations? I’m constantly on the lookout for new great music 🙂

I mostly like jazz from 1956-62. These are all pretty good:

Benny Carter – Jazz Giant
Shelly Manne And His Men, Volume 1 - The West Coast Sound
Shelly Manne & His Men – At The Black Hawk Vol. 1
Art Pepper – The Trip
Milt Jackson & Ray Charles – Soul Brothers
Marty Paich Big Band – What's New
Marty Paich – I Get A Boot Out Of You
Bill Evans Trio* – Portrait In Jazz
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers – The Big Beat
Bobby Timmons – This Here Is Bobby Timmons
Hank Mobley – Soul Station
Junior Mance – Junior
Horace Parlan Quintet – On The Spur Of The Moment
Ella Fitzgerald – Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Harold Arlen Song Book

Thanks John, that looks like a good selection. I’ll work my way through them and let you know how I get on.

Spotify has some nice Jazz playlists, listening at the moment to Late Night Jazz :-)

Thank you John!

The Trip is great so I expect the whole list to be up my alley. I’m going to give them a listen.

Since the guys from Stereo Haven visited our room at Axpona and Mike Pranka (US distributor of the JM Reynaud speakers we played on) gave me a copy of Ruben Wilson’s ‘Love Bug’, I’ve been into jazz.

Enjoy going through the list. Definitely some of my favorites of the many jazz albums in my collection.

You've inspired me to try 'Sunday at the Village Vanguard' again, as recommended by @Lego a few years ago. Previously, it was too much of a note jumble for my simple mind but really enjoyed it today. Think I'd like to get some more jazz too!

EDIT: Playing Monk now. I think the piano is slightly out of tune at times but it's fine cos I can hear that now and make sense of it. Whereas with previous systems, it all just sounded like a bloody racket.
