Here are some albums that I love: 1. Ray Bryant - Gotta Travel On 2. Kenny Dorham - Quiet Kenny 3. Tommy Flanagan/Coltrane/Burrell/Sulieman - The Cats 4. Farmer/Byrd/Sulieman - Three Trumpets 5. Blue Mitchell - The Thing To Do (w/Chick Corea) 6. Johnny Griffin - A Blowin' Session 7. Gene Ammons - The Happy Blues (w/Art Farmer and Jackie McLean) 8. Lou Donaldson - Blues Walk 9. Stanley Turrentine - Look Out! 10. Reuben Wilson - Blue Mode These are all have great musicianship but are still very accessible.

I'm looking for Hiroshi Suzuki's "Cat" album. The track 'Romance' is probably one of my all time favourites. If anyone hasnt listened to any Japanese jazz, that's a great place to start. So many wonderful albums.

Grant Green's a really good guitarist. Very nice. So is the watch, by the way; I recently bought one myself, a wind-up. Nice on the Brenda Lee also, she was big back in the day. Stella Cole sounds interesting; may check that out. Being from Nashville, it's cool to see the country LPs. I made it to Ernest Tubb's Record Shop on Broadway in downtown Nashville maybe once, but didn't buy anything. I wonder if it's still there.

Hi Ryan, I came across your channel recently.Very impressed with your knowledge of Jazz. I have learned a lot from you already,thank you.I have a large vinyl collection I started way back in the 60's, unfortunately was not into Jazz during those early days.My collection of Jazz has grown though. I have had Tinnitus for many years,you will get used to it.I jokingly say it's because I went to too many loud concerts,though I remember seeing Stevie Ray in the 80's, was so loud it hurt.Watch out for Sugar,I find it makes the ringing more intense.Thanks for sharing you finds.

If you want to hear this stuff in great sound quality, you can always pick them up on CD for a lot less money than the vinyl. I have every one of these albums on CD, and they sound terrific. I scored many of the CDs in this video for five bucks or less. If you have a decent sound system, a CD player and a hundred bucks to spare, you can have most of the CDs in this video and they will likely sound great. After all, it's still about the MUSIC...right?

I sold a big stack of liberty era represses of blue note stuff like 10 years ago, I got about 10-15 bucks a piece for them. I needed the money for rent and figured the liberty/united artist era stuff would be easy to find again. A lot of those pressings are 100-200 a piece now 😢

You have an impressive amount of jazz knowledge for such a young guy. I liked seeing these pieces of your collection. You mentioned not wanting to play valuable records too much so that they don’t get worn out. That’s what we used to have cassette tapes for! Get yourself a cassette deck and tape all your vinyl. Then listen to the tapes.

Kinda Blue and Time Out are obvious picks. Also Moanin by Blakey and Study in Brown by Brown/Roach. Cant stand Coltrane. His tone and phrasing are god awful.
@amanandhismusic6 ай бұрын
Wow, I mean I can’t have a list without Kind of Blue or Time Out, personally I wouldn’t even have time out on the list because I don’t necessarily like it as much as others but given its pivotal role in getting people into jazz I decided to include it. Shocked that you don’t like Coltrane because he’s one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time and has most likely influenced your favorite musician in some element. Coltrane had a great tone that many tried to replicate, his phrasing definitely wasn’t normal or like anyone else but it was by no means bad. His phrasing is almost what he’s popular for, look at his writing and theory. The Coltrane changes might be one of the most influential elements in music.
@baconlatte6 ай бұрын
@@amanandhismusic By obvious picks, i mean must have for any intro to jazz. I didn't see that you had Time Out on your list. Must have missed it. Coltrane sounded like he was tone deaf. No ear for melody. Innovation is not the same as musicality. You can push boundaries and have a sophisticated approach and still suck.

hi amanda, i cant believe with so few videos you got so many more fans and subs than me and many others and all you do is buy records. there is a lesson here for poorer people about the edibility of the rich but i dont know what it is do u?

Thanks for the comment, I don’t like to think that’s why I have all the subscribers. I’ve never even asked anyone to sub in any of my videos, I pride myself in completing the John Coltrane discography and sharing my spreadsheet for it! I think that might be why I have more than you’d expect.

great job with the OG Blossom Dearie- this is on my list (have Japan and VMP) Gotta love Annie Ross!! Was recently at record store upstate NY and came across a OG stereo Annie Ross- a gasser! Paid about 20 for it VG++. I had a MONO pure pleasure, but always love finding clean VG+ or better orig or older pressing. Glad to see you have the Helen Merrill- self titled. I have the 1st mono repress in great great condition, blue back in VG++ both cover and vinyl. I paid 200 for it and thought this was the closest i'd get- sounds killer. take care
