jazz apprieciation just got a lil list of my 10 fav jazz tunes so dig and add to with yours.....
david sanborn-lesley ann-the melody and his trademark "sax grind" on the bridge does it everytime... impromp2-enjoy yourself-1n of my favorite bass lines of all time.... jesse johnson-just wanting you-while not traditionally a jazz cat,1st time listeners to this song would be suprised to find out he isnt one... ramsey lewis-somethin 'bout you-this was the 1st ramsey lewis song that made me a fan prince-the rainbow children- a fitting jazz tribute to his dad... hiroshima-streetcorner paradise-june kuramoto's harp is simply breathtaking sting-fragile-heard it once and never let it go... kenny g-songbird-as much as i can't stand the plastic jazz he does now i've always loved this masterpiece... marvin gaye-trouble man-if i was a jazz radio dj this would damn sure be on my playlist... grover washington jr.-black frost-this wouldn't be a list without this legend and his superb black frost... george benson/earl klugh-dreamin-a guitar sensei and his disciple... electric meets acoustic...all resulting in a truly dreamy track... deon estus-heaven help-some would put this in the r&b category, but with the horns and acoustic guitar this always felt more like jazz to me... | |

My husband and I are big fans of Chet Baker. He was a trumpet player (and singer) in the 50's and 60's. There was a moving made about him called "let's get lost". You should find it and watch it sometime. He plays beautiful trumpet and his voice is soft and sexy. He had a very tough life with drugs etc. Extremely talented man. | |

Dexter Gordon - Our Man In Paris (Ok, that's an entire CD, but I love it!) a psychotic is someone who just figured out what's going on | |

I like a lot of the tunes listed, but with all due respect, most of them aren't jazz tunes per se, but "jazzy" or "jazz-tinged," whatever you want to call it. Even still, those are great songs.
Co-sign what Stax said (just discovered that album). I'd add off the top of the dome "Along Came Betty" -- Art Blakey Quintet "Pickup Sticks" -- The Dave Brubeck Quartet "Speak No Evil" -- Wayne Shorter "Tunji" -- John Coltrane "Recorda Me" -- Joe Henderson "Eronel" -- Thelonious Monk "Knowledge Box" -- Horace Silver Trio "Somethin' Else" -- Cannonball Adderley "Joshua" -- Miles Davis "Valse" -- Bill Evans Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016
Props will be withheld until the showing and proving has commenced. -- Aaron McGruder | |

Sorry but most of the albums you mentioned don't come close to the REAL jazz classics. | |

i did that on purpose 'cause i alwyas like 2 challenge myself musically, and i thought my mentionin miles, coltrane, or any of the standards would've been "cliche".... | |

Cliche or not....Miles and Coltrane were awesome!!!! I still think Coltrane's Love Supreme is a classic...better yet...how bout his cut...."Out of This World". I will do today what you won't, so tomorrow I can do what you can't. | |
