Thank you, Dan. I’ve made this a part of my daily routine , checking in on the Jazz Shepherd helps make these troubled times a bit easier.

[@TheJazzShepherd]

happy to hear that.....i am glad if this helps ease the load... it helps me to get thru as well

[@jefflackie4819]

Thanks for the ongoing education. Very appreciated.

[@TheJazzShepherd]

My pleasure! i enjoy duin these

[@jaymiedeemer7475]

I totally agree -- the albums you truly love are the ones you play over and over. Very true.

[@TheJazzShepherd]

its that simple!!! if you aint played it in years..... it aint love!!

[@tonyharrison2542]

I continue to be amazed by the vastness of your collection Dan. Remarkable...

[@TheJazzShepherd]

thnx my brutha!!!! I might be slighty Obsessive compulsive?? But obsession can lead to expertise??

[@vuch9802]

Bill Evans - Sunday At The Village Vanguard! FINALLY, I've got an album in my collection that you featured! I also have Waltz For Debby, which I believe was also recorded at the Village Vanguard. Great Video, Dan!!!

[@whitey7998]

Really great selection. Just bought Shelley Manne at the Black Hawk but went for the full set on CD. Thanks Dan

[@TheJazzShepherd]

A stone classic

Top male/female jazz units in any combination whether it be sax and vocalist..or any instruments. Top 12 bug bands.. Top swing era orchestras...Top dixie land legends.. Top Jazz albums with strings...

[@kelvincobain4255]

Thanks for shouting out L.A. I hear they have it pretty bad in California as well as NYC and Washington state. Pray for everybody to get thru all the craziness thanks for yet another sweet episode!!!

[@smodrew1]

So thankful for your channel! Helping me get through these long slow days.

[@TheJazzShepherd]

your so welcome brutha... i enjoy makin em.... or playin with my records as my wife says

[@kelvincobain4255]

Absolutely Dan you can learn by listening to albums but when you play with those people it forces you to build chops and learn hands on how to blend and play in the moment.

[@peopleschum]

Great choices. Your point about multi tracking being a death knell for the spirit of jazz was very well made. 'Stale, stagnant, canned, easy listening shit' On the money! Hallelujah! But why is this not painfully obvious to everyone?

[@TheJazzShepherd]

i dont get it either???

[@BaldyFella]

Because a large percentage of people listening to music are like sheep. They follow trends, they don't develop their musical palate. They'd rather take the fast food option than the tougher route of preparing a meal fit for a connoisseur.

[@williamnow146]

I agree. Multi tracking jazz is like emailing or texting your response...just not meant to be that way. And the live recordings are a step ahead of studio jazz, in a similar way. All great LPs. Love the Shelly Blackhawk series and agree with your description.

[@TheJazzShepherd]

the 80s stuff...i cant believe people like that stuff......the Blackhawk is killer stuff

[@williamnow146]

I don’t think I have any from the 80’s! Like you, 55-65 is my sweet spot. For some reason, I realized a couple weeks ago, that I have large amount of albums from 1962. It seems that a lot of my favs are from that year...strange(?) I’ve slowly got 1,2,3 volumes of the Blackhawk. What great music and recordings! Great vid (as usual).

[@discus276]

Some wonderful live stuff there Dan, Your comments were thought provoking. I also think Thelonious Monk at Town Hall, Horace Silver at The Village Gate, Cannonball Adderley in San Francisco and Buck Clayton at Gulliver' s Club, (= Album 'A Swingin' Dream') are all exciting live dates that deserve recommendation..

[@TheJazzShepherd]

YUP All those titles are werth seeking out as well!! I do not have the Buck CLayton... To be hinest in this series there were SOOOO many options , it would be hard to make the same list twice!

[@discus276]

Agreed - too many to list. Buck Clayton only lead band (lips gone). Oct 1988 Band a bit like a Hollywood Studio Big band with Mel Lewis on drums - Terrific recording though. Stash Records.

[@dkstott29]

I'm new to your channel and have been loving watching them. There's several live Monk that I listen to regularly. Live at the Blackhawk, live at the five spot, Alone in San Francisco.

Hi Dan all those records fantastic I love Bill Evans have two of his Portrait In Jazz and the sublime Undercurrent with Jim Hall you can hear Evans feet on the piano pedals all great stuff again,with the time difference here in the UK I’m listening at night which is great.Be safe Tony.

[@TheJazzShepherd]

I Love Undercurrent!! be safe my friend!!

I love the music of Bill Evans. Can‘t get enaugh. And Art Blakey. Stay save - Hubert

[@TheJazzShepherd]

thnx my friend!!!

[@TheHowingFantods]

Another blazing selection to feast on. Thanks man. The live Bill Evans record is very special to me. The ESP between LaFaro and Evans and the period it was recorded - it's divine. So sad about Scott LaFaro's early death. Imagine all of the other stunning records they would have made together.

[@TheJazzShepherd]

YUP Those Evans Riverside era lps are all top shelf!!!

[@xentakis]

Great stuff as always. For Miles I’m kind of surprised you didn’t go with My Funny Valentine + Four and More. Even though it predates Wayne Shorter’s stint, I think it’s the pinnacle of Miles in some ways. Everything that’s great about Miles intersects on this recording. All of the modal ideas from Kind of Blue, some of his best standards, and the beginnings of where he would go with the second great quintet. And the solos are all note for note perfect, with telepathic interplay among the band.

[@jaydmhearne]

Watched your first ella / Billie review...immediately bought a 1958 Columbia copy on discogs for €9 🤙🎼🤙🎼🤙 Thanks dude!

[@TheJazzShepherd]

Thats great stuff man!! Awesome deal!!!!

[@bezerker99]

Great insight into the Jazz genre! Very interesting INDEED!

[@TheJazzShepherd]

thnx my friend!!

[@jean-paulpeek7823]

All great records, Dan! If I could recommend one today, it would be Jazz at the Philharmonic in Europe with Stan Getz, JJ Johnson, Victor Feldman, Sam Jones and Louis Hayes with guest appearance of Dizzy Gillespie. There version of Bop 'n Boogie is as exhilerating as jazz gets. The tempo is beyond imaginable and leaves even listeners soaked with sweat. It's on Verve V6-8540, maybe you got 'm already. It's freaking awesome. Bop 'n boogie...check that out.

[@jean-paulpeek7823]

Of course that's Blue n Boogie ;)

[@dcrook232323]

I've heard the same recommendation. Will have to find & listen. 👍

[@TheJazzShepherd]

I think there is a couple records issued with that cover...... Vol i n 2 etc... I will have to ckeck if I have that one

[@kelvincobain4255]

Top Jazz records by mixed grops

[@garygray9223]

Saved best for last? Spiritual is a beautiful song , Trane’s solo is tender and powerful at the same time and then Dolphy’s solo is sublime. Love em all. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@TheJazzShepherd]

its incrdible stuff my man!!!

[@ggladiolus]

Hi, how about Count Basie and city 5 with Zoot Sims?

[@kelvincobain4255]

Do u have Saturday Night at the Blackhawk...

[@TheJazzShepherd]

Of course

[@mystormyseas]

I found a Max Roach & Clifford Brown live at BeeHive , Clifford smokes on this just wish production was cleaned up but i guess raw sound adds to live set.

[@TheJazzShepherd]

I want to find that lp. Early Chicago madness

[@mymixture965]

I am with you with the Art Blakey Bildrand stuff, have them, love them and Clifford is killing. Agree with the rest too and luckily have some of them in my collection too. As far as I know, on the Kenny Burrell record it is Richard Davis and Roy Haynes. Also I hope that nobody will ever release my alternate takes, because they suck:-)

[@TheJazzShepherd]

Exactly on alternate takes.... I in my video today on DAwn records, answer a question u asked me other day at the end of the vid!!

[@jeandejazz6426]

Hey Dan, just curious, now that you are deep into jazz , can you still listen to rock with as much enjoyment ? Thanks for the video. One of The greatest jazz albums live for me is the Count Basie Big band live in Montreux 1977. Check it out if you don't have it. It is pure burning fire ! Never get tired of hearing it... -Jean in Quebec,Canada .

[@TheJazzShepherd]

nope...rock bores me to tears.... i can rarely get thru an album... same with soul n hip hop too... reggae i can still do especially bob Marley

[@jeandejazz6426]

I agree 100% and generally today's "pop" crap is enough to make me want to jump from a bridge ! 😂 -cheers and jazz-on brother !

[@miketomlin6040]

Did Jimmy Smith sell millions of Lp's. I bump into them all the time for a dollar and it is tough, now, to give them away.

[@TheJazzShepherd]

Gosh no.... Only Columbia or Verve could sell that volume of stuff

[@TheJazzShepherd]

But.he did sell really well fir an Indy label
