Reviewer: laqueasha - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - October 2, Subject: Somebody Stole My Gal I am looking to use this song in a short film but I'm unclear as to whose recording it is.

I would like to obtain official rights to the song and it says "public domain" but I'm skeptical that this is actually the case that I can use it without any licensing. If the person who uploaded this collection or anyone else who might have more information on the recording "stolmgal" track play time. Please let me know! And if you know if "public domain" really means free to use in all replications.

Reviewer: iattp - favorite favorite favorite favorite - July 9, Subject: Amazing Grace is not from the 20s Howdy everyone. This is an excellent collection, but I do believe the amazing grace file is actually a recording of a brass band.

A good brass band they are, but I recognize the sound and the recording. Probably one in Germany or America. You might want to have that checked, as the arrangement might not be copyright free. Reviewer: oldmusicfreak - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - June 16, Subject: Nice Im glad there other 's jazz freaks out there.

Ive liked that music since I was a kid and thought I was weird or something. But Im happy to see more of us around. This stuff is really good. I've been a fan of Jazz for awhile but this is the best collection I've heard so far for stuff from the s. Only thing I wish was that the. Reviewer: NoSpillBlood - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - November 6, Subject: Great material, skillfully presented.

Thank you for posting this. It's a real trip back in more than one way. Personally, it reminds me of hours spent poring over those L. Docks catalogs of jazz reissue albums 40 years ago now. Reviewer: dieselpunk - favorite favorite favorite favorite - October 30, Subject: Great collection Many great tunes here. I wish i knew what all of them were. Reviewer: danfhall - favorite favorite favorite favorite - June 13, Subject: Some more information. I have barely scratched the surface of these impressive recordings, and am very grateful for them.

However, I would agree with a previous reviewer that more information would be helpful. Reviewer: pickford82 - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - September 20, Subject: Extremely valuable! I've downloaded this collection of music recently and enjoy it very much. It's great! It contains both well-known jazz standards and some rare stuff.

I am fascinated by the Roaring Twenties, and this music allows me to feel the spirit of the epoch. Yes, all these tracks are very old, however, many of them are not just some "museum pieces" - they are highly enjoyable as they are, despite their considerable age.

My only complain is that the uploader didn't give the full names of the songs. I'd love to get more info especially since I am still new to jazz and some of these contracted titles make no sense to me. I like those funny "drunken" vocals, I wish I knew who these performers are These compositions are amazing, but so far I have failed to find out anything about them. Jazz buffs must be familiar with them. Reviewer: Osprey Therian - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - August 31, Subject: Credits for "Sentimental Gentleman from Georgia" amdubin over at YouTube has uploaded a video of this song playing on his Radiola 47 - and it sounds great.

Eddie Stone sings the vocal chorus. Commenters add: "This was recorded at Victor's Camden studio. Bill Evans — Sunday school professor at the village Vanguard. Voyage with Herbie Hancock was made smoothly. The only Duke that matters to me is— Ellington All Structures designed by Cecil Taylor are well reinforced.

We all know that Mr. Albert said to Ayler , no unity is better that Spiritual Unity Eric Dolphy possesses the best Table manner; see him— Out to Lunch To Abstract the Truth, you must apply the law of Oliver Nelson Erroll Garner holds the Tide at one of his Concert by the Sea It is always a pleasant day when Mr. Louis Armstrong came to my Town.

I tasted Miles Davis Bitches Brew before, it was great. When Ornette told Mr. Coleman about the Shape of Jazz to come, he meant business. It was in wonderful Copenhagen when Mr.

Brubeck gave no Time Out, and the audience loves it. Here you have it, Mr. How about the Sachal Jazz Ensemble? Not sure how well known they are Stateside — they arose from the Lahore-based film industry, a group of veteran musicians who had fallen foul of conservative anti-western sentiments, interpreting western jazz standards. But they are so much more than that. Check out their eponymous debut album They have been compared to the Buena Vista Social Club — that rare and welcome push to re-evaluate a genre and in this case to revisit some favourite jazz standards as well as listen to fresh material from an unlikely and unexpected source.

Try them. There is always some crazy nutter adding all the albums to a spotify-list with other great jazz-albums. I guess the most important person in Jazz is Louis Armstrong, because he had the most influence and made jazz as popular as it is unfortunetly was! So where are all the great recordings? Louis plays W. Django would be great to! He is the only european artist, who belongs to top 50 of Jazz! Que hay de Chick Corea?. Nice effort, but why is there no Freddy Hubbard or Donald Byrd on it.

In mho great influential artists….. Its a perfect record. The Song for My Father title track dominates that album, but Cape Verdean is a 45 minute masterpiece. Please try it all. No Gerry Mulligan? No Modern Jazz Quartet? Glad to see Erroll Garner and Stan Getz for sure. But if you are going to include Miles, especially Birth of the Cool, then it is silly to leave out John Lewis or Mulligan, who were there from the start.

Miles Davis: Kind of Blue 2. Bird and Diz: Last recording on verve 3. Duke Ellington — Hot Summer Dance 4. Dave Brubeck: Take Five 5. Billie Holiday : Stange Fruit. Thank you for this list. My jazz collection of records went from ten to one hundred.

Of course it is just silly: nothing by David Murray! On the other hand, if it promotes interest in the music, all well and good. There are one or two other superb Monk albums not listed here.

Duke Ellington has been mentioned in many comments, and I agree. I think Blue Trane is overrated and I find much of Weather Report difficult to swallow particularly in terms of the smooth production. Art Tatum should be there, more Rollins too…. So many……. Maybe I missed it but at least one of them should be on here?

This is a great list. The important thing to remember is that it is just a opinion, and not a shot at your favorite record. I bet the author even had second thought after publishing the list.

Lots of great stuff mentioned, both on and off the list. Nice try, but no cigar. Great list. Thank you. I even named one of my rescue dogs after him. Best dog ever. Yet Bitches Brew is the worst album that Miles ever put out. Self indulgent BS. And I love Miles. I would rather see one of Trains blues records on the list. One woman on the list. My dad grew up in the South, used to sneak into all-black venues to hear the early jazz artists.

He would shake his head at your list. They were also released in and are in the Top 5 according to this list. As mentioned, Joe Henderson is missing as a leader. Are there no new Records? Concert by the Sea is not Garners best. And Hutcherson is great with barron In The Vanguard.

No Phineas Newborn here. I would not include reissue compliations in the list. I would stick with original issues. And as Waltz for Debbie is an original issue taken from the Sunday at Village Vanguard sessions why list both? Thanks for this list and all the others. Suggestion: Compile a list of the greatest jazz albums of all times by relatively unknown artists. I am a senior, and compile bibliography as a avocation.

And so it is with jazz. Have been a jazz buff all of my life. Many great players do not chose a public life on the road. Such a list would take years to compile, and would take the combined efforts of many jazz buffs, but could be extraordinary, and a great gift to prosperity. What a nice post….. While I am familiar with many on this list, I cannot honestly say I have listened to them all nor can I respond to many of the comments above this.

I would suggest two other albums for consideration. I can honestly say that was the single most talented band I have ever seen put together. Having seen them live in Rotterdam and then purchasing the recording, it is in my personal top A entire band of great band leaders!

Second is Offbeat of the Avenues by Manhatten Transfer. There are a few incredible cuts on that album that still blow me away after all this time. I consider that album full blown jazz as opposed to a popular label. Several of the arrangements are truly magnificent. Indeed a terrific bunch of music, perhaps academic. So the Hot Fives and Sevens, which were never thought of as a unit, should be disqualified. Insatiable ME. I am a Miles man, but with miles to spare…….

Too silly for words. Define what you mean by a jazz album. Support The Music. Gosh, to even attempt a list like this. I love seeing this type of stuff because it invariably requires a lot of effort by the author, it will literally completely please no one, yet it always calls out one or two albums that probably deserve more attention. Sometimes just throwing a list out there to get the discussion going is just as helpful as actually making the list. No Freddie Hubbard on this list?

You clearly state in your 1st paragraph you will attempt to create a list. Thank you for a great source for me that continues the conversation. But i Miss Nefertiti, i think is the best of his quintet albums whatever quintet he played in. And of course newer stuff. But 50 records are only 50 records. What a great comments section. I will be able to spend the rest of the year listening to some of your recommendations.

There was a fellow called Jelly Roll Morton that made some pretty significant recordings. And of course Bechet. And it shows: there are 3 Coltrane albums on a 50 record list…. In my opinion the one above is pretty narrow-minded, sticking just to 50sss stuff. Make your own list and publish it here. These lists are always subjective and reflect the personal taste of compiler. On that note, if I had compiled this list, it would include some Gerry Mulligan.

No Grover Washington Jr? Especially Inner City Blues? I am disappointed with the list overall…:. There are sooooo many great jazz albums I can think of, and some are on this list. But the 1 jazz album that stands heads above the rest in my opinion is not even listed here….

Are Roy Elridge an Dizzy G. And Sinatra — listen to him as if he were a sax! Billie H. Bessi S. Sara V. Where is Billie? What about pre jazz? Is Armstrong really the only early recording that makes the list? Time to broaden your listening horizons folks. Nat King Cole only played swing? Too many free jazz and avantgarde to my taste. Missing Tete Montoliu as a one of the top pianists. What about John Klemmer? The ignorance expressed on this list is representative of our time.

What a ton of wasted effort on this inadequate list. The exact order is not so important. But what gets me about top jazz lists is that almost always the majority of the albums are more than 50 years old. Nevertheless, there are a whole lot of great jazz albums recorded in the past 50 years. I own 4, of them! A few of the greats include:. Soft Machine — Fourth.
