Bill Evans – Portrait in Jazz
Oliver Nelson – blues and the Abstract truth
John Coltrane- A love surpreme
Dave Brubeck – time out
Nina Simone – Little girl blue
Art Blakey – Moanin
Oscar Peterson- Night train
Thelonius Monk – brilliant corners
Erroll Garner – concert by the sea
Cannonball adderley – somethin else
(Miles davis – Kind of blue )

Made this list for what I like but also what I found Original and diverse and would Show to people to get an overview on different fields.. surely , 10 are too few 😉

This list is more like a hard bop list- just realizing how many other favorites I have that are more linked to fusion genre, but still have this roots in jazz… like billy cobham – crosswinds, turrentine – salt song, george duke – Aura will prevail, volker kriegel- missing link, Eberhard Weber – silent feet….

Well, I’d like to play.
Perhaps my selections will be anathema to some as they’re being made based on cd issue, not lp. With that caveat:

Sun Ra Bad and Beautiful (Saturn)
Sam Rivers Fuschia Swing Song ( Blue Note)
Jackie McLean Lights Out (Prestige)
Charlie Rouse. Yeah (Epic/Fresh Sounds)
John Coltrane Meditations (Impulse)
John Coltrane Live in Japan (4 cds worth) (Imp)
Miles Davis On the Corner (box set) (Columbia)
James Moody Hi-Fi Party (Prestige)
Charlie Parker Big Band. (Verve)
Peter Brotzmann Machine Gun. (FMP)
