“and the name Paul Chambers on bass is there again did he ever front his own album anybody please ?”
Geoff,I’m sure you’ve plugged Chambers name into Allmusic.com by now,and if not-what are you waitin’ for?(lol)
Also,I love the way Monk’s Brilliant Corners inverts(?) the musical line that old-timers will remember from numerous ‘creepy’gag pieces-“duh-duh-duh-duh-duuuuuh..dum,dum,dum,dum,dum”
Youngsters are permitted to ask Gramps for help on that one!

J.J. like you say. And my list would not be same from one day on the other. So, a waste of time? I am afraid it is.

These lists are so subjective. Personally I think it’s a good intro. I would have Dexter Gordon on there, Maybe GO or One Flight Up.
I happen to really dig Sanders, Karma and Black Unity in particular. He should have put post 1955 to qualify the list.

Every “jazz best” list that does not include Stan Getz “Sweet R
ain” is wrong. Period. 🙂

Anyway, it’s nice he took a shot at listing what he likes. Always nice to try to encourage others to enjoy great music.

This session led by Julian supported by Nat and I quote the rhythm is contagious and could well cause the lame to walk

You guys are more familiar with the list than I am but from my collection I would put Cannonball Adderley in contention
