I worked with the globetrotters on tour, heard that song everyday all through out North America. Thanks for the info

I would put him over Oscar Peterson just a bit. There's just something incredible about the sound he made. Probably because I heard him on an LP I had from my grandfather which was one of the records that got me hooked on old jazz.

Excellent post, thanks for sharing 😎

I really love “Ruby, My Dear”

Missed the toilet last night Peed all over the floor.. Cleaned it up with my toothbrush Don’t brush my teeth much anymore

I love Monk he’s one of my favorites.. I really like the songs “Thelonious” , “Blue Monk” , “Just a Gigolo” , “April in Paris”

Incredible!

YOU NEVER SAY THE NAME OF THE SONG.

I heard this for the first time in 1996 working p/t at a coffeehouse and it blew me away . I didn’t know what real jazz was until hearing this album. Always a staple for listening.. never gets old.

I just learned Maple Leaf Rag after 8 months of practice. It was my most desired music to learn from beginning to end. I know The Entertainer is a lot easier than Maple Leaf Rag so it won't take me as long to learn it, but I think these two songs are a staple for anyone who wants to learn Rag Time.

It’s the start of jazz and a foundation of it.

The wishes and intentions of the composer should always be respected.

Did you just describe them as killin' musicians? cringe..

So in order to make the top five, the records have to be between $100 and $300 apiece?

Body and Soul is a lyric melody tune. He did not represent that, but it was a brilliant (and very vertical) melodic extrapolation of the supporting harmonic structures of the tune, that made all of the musicians head to the shed, to do their homework, to source more melodic variations from the chords. He was a major inspiration to the young musicians, who would go on to pioneer BeBop ! You are right he showed the way to the future, like a musical astronaut !

Miles knew Jazz is best improvised

Ahmad Jamal is probably my go to and honourable mention is Bill Evans

I have friends who don't like jazz but love this album,that tells you something about it 😂😂

I could listen to this album every day,I would have loved to have been in the recording studio when they made this album 😮

I absolutely freaking love this album especially the newly released version with extra tracks from the sessions

Bill evans

Love Supreme live in Seattle is hella underrated

❤

Afro blue impressions and African brass and Interstellar Space

My Favorite Things????

My personal favorite Coltrane album would probably be The Last Trane

what recording is that octave run from i will transcribe it because i already have a list of at least 5 runs from today that i transcribed by ear of jesus molina and art tatum

Satin doll? SATIN DOLL?! Wow that was a great opportunity to think about what you think you've already known but you don't

Killer album, but I wore out some of the tracks lol. Flamenco Sketches and Blue In Green will never ever get old to me though

The Greatest Ever!!!! Miles is a God amongst men

Awesome story. I played this album on KZbin just last night for a girl I had over for dinner. She had never heard it before and she was very impressed. And let's just say, it did the trick too.

😂Play what I wrote or DIE!

One fine album!❤

Ellington's piano style is very underrated. I remember transcribing his solos on Take the A Train when I was a teenager.

The Monk comparison is interesting as when Duke first heard a Monk record playing he's alleged to have said 'Sounds like he’s stealing some of my stuff!’'

I think charles mingus had quite a unique sound

😊Amen!

Oscar Peterson

Also....on guitar Michael Hedges broke all moulds I've ever encountered. I love your enthusiasm!

❤Check out phil Aaberg.....his boogie woogie is the bomb.

Makes my day to see someone so passionate about music ❤

Check out Henri Herbert's boogie-woogie version if you haven't. Straight fire.

I think in his time, he was more of a pop singer with some jazz elements, but musical styles have changed so far, I think he should be considered one. Mel Torme didn't consider him to be one.

Cool beans!

I love this interpretation

‘straighten up and fly right’ as well :)

Thank You for the lesson on some great Jazz Piano!

So great to still see people making new videos about. It's perfect for my journey discovering his Insanity and continuing his legacy. Hard choice on a favourite, was My Heart Stool Still, also love Runnin' Wild, Rosetta, etc.

The Final Tour in Europe Coltrane is on fire

In college, in Ohio, in the 1970s I discovered the amazing Jazz organist, Jimmy Smith. I was immediately hooked and began buying his albums. I later learned he was an internationally known and a much loved musician. He regularly performed in the USA. His circuit included performing in Columbus, Ohio, where I'm from. By the 1980s and early 1990s, he was regularly being booked at concert venues big and small, in Columbus, Ohio. I got to see him many times. In the summers, he played at Columbus Ohio's Jazz and Rib festival, along our riverfront.That venue has listeners sitting 3 feet from the performers. It was so thrilling to be sitting across from the amazing Jimmy Smith. He played his much loved tunes, that he was known for. Including: Midnight Special, Organ grinder's Swing, and I Got My Mojo Working. Backed up by Jazz guitar, sax and drums. I felt like he was playing it just for me.The venue was small and intimate. RIP Jimmy Smith.
