Great list. And more than half of the titles are available as recently-released, high-quality represses.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Yes you may have seen the fingerprint-free laminated sheen on the Coltrane-Hartman and the Chet Baker.

[@johng.4711]

Big thumbs up! Great job and recommendations.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Thanks so much!

[@steve0623]

I am a huge Chet baker fan and that is my go to record

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

It's a bona fide classic in every sense.

[@alexl5083]

I thought I gave you that suggestion, you even gave me credit in the video. Cheers! Alex L

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Yes you did! but I was a little reluctant to switch from my usual schtick. Then when discussing it, my wife told me it was a great idea and I should do it. You were right and so was she!

[@chriskitsopoulos9851]

Great post.very informative

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rtmattson7224]

Great information thank you. Today seemed to be Cool Jazz in theme. It would be cool maybe if the 5 for under $20 would be themed each time. Love you videos and thank you for sharing you jazz knowledge to help all of us on our journeys.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Thanks. Actually I tried to mix it up today. Some hard bop in there including I would say the Manne. I do like the idea of a theme though. Maybe next time.

[@donbailey8116]

Great albums all. I have been buying jazz since the 70's with a focus on what was current. My first purchase was CTI - Moon Gems - Joe Ferrell, which led me down the CTI rabbit hole and out the other side. I look forward to catching up on your 10 minute videos.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the rest of the channel.

[@dlove2830]

MUCH better than your previous list...

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Glad it hit the spot.

[@Claus-CaptainPhoenixCorner]

To repeat my self (and others): Great video again - thanks 😊

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Thanks Captain.

[@dunkkusaarinen]

Great video again, McCoy Tyners album is so underrated and one of my all time favorites for sure 👍

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Thank you - it was hard to pick just one of his, but affordability narrowed the field.

[@razorback-mark]

Great as always! I see a few i need to add to my collection.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Thanks Mark, pleased to hear.

[@mariomarques9951]

Well done again. I have had that Paul Winter LP for many years and really enjoy it. It is indeed so cheap I would not be surprised to see it in the dollar bin - but so nice. Glad you pointed it out.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

It is truly great. And remarkable how good it is considering the weakness of the previous effort. Turns out having the right sidemen makes a difference!

[@wege_9398]

Great video, great recomendations.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Thanks very much.

[@Drforrester31]

I think The Bill Evans Album from 1971 is a fantastic choice for anyone starting up a jazz collection. It's generally very cheap to buy and has the distinction of Bill Evans playing a lot of Fender Rhodes, which always makes me wish he would have played the electric piano more. And it's nothing too complex, just some solid cool jazz that's perfect for a rainy day

[@charlesfagerquist1091]

Love the format! You fit a lot of records into 10 records.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

I'm all about value. Under-promise, over-deliver.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

By any chance are you related to Don Fagerquist the trumpeter?

[@andrewmacdonald9382]

Ah Chet Baker it could happen to you. I passed this up when Craft first reissued it but now I've listened to it properly and realised how hard it swings I'm enjoying it immensely and have found a copy to order. Philly Joe, Kenny Drew and George Morrow what a rhythm section!! Almost impossible to fail. For me it's 4.5 out 5 stars. Great episode as most are mate. Well researched and balanced bordering on completely objective which makes your opinion one worth listening to. Keep it up.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Thanks for the kind words. Yes this one seems to fly under the radar for some reason but it’s excellent for all the reasons you suggest. I wasn’t a big Baker fan years ago but that has changed, he might be my favourite trumpeter now and I find myself digging for 50s rarities of his.

[@mCrC80]

Great video, thanks for so much great content! One question: what's that big blue book at the bottom of your stack?

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Good question! I’m out of town for a bit so will have to verify and get back to you.

[@MatthewKaminski]

Great channel! Can I suggest Larry Young’s “Unity” to the list?

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Indeed! I reviewed it some time ago; one of the great halfway houses between hard bop and the avant-garde.

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

And thank you.

[@nathanforman839]

Which pressing of the Clifford Brown-Max Roach album would you recommend?

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

Well, I’ve only ever heard the one I have! Which is the 1956 US mono pressing with blue labels - the other competitor for “first pressing” status has black labels which are otherwise identical. I think it sounds excellent. There has been no AAA / audiophile reissue in recent years and so I suspect the early pressings have little competition. Be interested to hear people’s impressions of the 1974 Japanese pressing which is fairly inexpensive.

"Crescent" [mic drop]

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

If only I'd had a mic to drop.

[@makimakipapura7543]

Do you own any pre-war jazz 78s?

[@TenMinuteRecordReviews]

No! but somehow i feel I will in the future...
