this'll prolly brick but the idea is to respond w/ a label name & under that list albums from the label

ill start w/ some prominent/obvious ones & yall can take it from there if anyone cares

from Point of Departure to Speak Like a Child...classics

________________________________________________________________
whenever you did these things to the least of my brothers you did them to me

It's very overlooked, just like Wayne Shorter's "Schizophrenia" and "Supernova"; it's a sick album IMO...

Anyway, as for more "overlooked"/obscure Blue Note shit (my favorite label too):
Eddie Gale-Black Rhythm Happening
Andrew Hill-just pick one. Seriously, "Andrew!"
Don Cherry-Where Is Brooklyn? (SICK! With Pharoah Sanders)
Sam Rivers-Dimensions and extensions. Obviously, all his albums rule
Grachan Moncur III-Some other stuff ("Evolution" is even better but I think it's generally considered a classic)
Jackie McLean-Demon's dance (Woody Shaw!!!), It's time, Action, Old and New gospel
Cecil Taylor-Conquistador! (possibly my favorite album of all time alongside Sly's "TARGO")
Bobby Hutcherson-Components

Lots of other dope ones as well

point of departure is an andrew hill album

i meant TAKIN OFF smh

I/D, Maiden Voyage $ Speak Like a Child are his untouchable joints to me

...do you ever mess with that Blue Note app on there? Man, that alone makes me not want to drop Spotify to mess with Google Music. That app can be overwhelming with the amount of material on it.




Since 1976

if u can stream reliably

$1.98/mo for a trove of classics & good variety from earlier stuff like Monk & Powell to hard bop to free to soul-jazz

not just in Herbie's catalog, but of all time. The concept/execution -- even if I don't think many of the songs in that set are included in the canon aside from "I Have A Dream"

Say, from The Sidewinder to Live at the Lighthouse

Highlights:

•Sidewinder (64)
•Search for the New Land (64)
•Rumproller (65)
•Gigolo (65)
•Cornbread (65)
•Delightfulee (66)
•Procrastinator (67)
*Live @ the Lighthouse (70)

don't ever sleep on this album

but i still havent given "out to lunch" a listen

like i shouldve done that 20 years ago or some shit hahaha

________________________________________________________________
whenever you did these things to the least of my brothers you did them to me

damn! haha! get on with it then!
and while you're at it, check out 'Last Date' by Dolphy too. it's been issued on various labels, not blue note tho.

there's this CD at the locall spot (which also has Out to Lunch RVG version for $12 too) ive been sleeping on

it's from '61, a twofer that's under Dolphy's name now but are actually Prestige albums led by Ron Carter (Where?) & Mal Waldron (the Quest)

________________________________________________________________
whenever you did these things to the least of my brothers you did them to me

>get on with it then!

i love Bobby Hutcherson yo

________________________________________________________________
whenever you did these things to the least of my brothers you did them to me

...be sure to check out Jackie McLean's "One step beyond" and "Destination out" as well as Grachan Moncur III's "Evolution".

All those records feature Hutcherson alongside mcLean and Moncur and Tony Williams plays drums on two of these ("Destination out!" has Roy Haynes instead which of course is dope as well but a bit more conventional and "steady" rhythmically). Additionally, "Evolution" has Lee Morgan as a bonus. AMAZING albums and they match "Out to lunch!" in vibe (no pun intended); I feel Hutcherson was in a specific zone in those years which you can also hear on his first couple of solo-albums and his stuff with Archie Shepp ("New thing at Newport" and the underrated "On this night"; neither are mongst Shepp's best but still nice partially because of Hutcherson) and Andrew Hill ("Judgement" and "Andrew"-both PERFECT albums!) that he kind of left behind later when he became more conventional and "pretty" in his playing and less jagged and percussive (still dope though, I dig Hutcherson's albums with Harold Land too but his early-mid 60's shit is the best IMO).

Oh yeah, another GREAT record with Hutcherson in that zone: Prince Lasha&Sonny Simmons "Firebirds"; one of my all time favourites and really underrated, had it come out on Blue Note rather than West Coast jazz label Contemporary, "everyone" would talk about it...

thank u for this reference point

the awesome thing is i can feel the passion & love for this music in your typing/writing & that's really wassup, im kinda late & catching up but i am loving this journey of discovery w/ this music

The Atlantic-stuff is the most classic of course in terms of amterial and groundbreaking style but the Izenson/Moffett rhythm-section is EASILY the most spontaneous and fluid one he worked with IMO; interplay all over the place even if I sometimes miss Haden's sense of melody and drive in the bass-lines.

Anyway, I love those records as well as the Town Hall concert on ESP with the same line-up but my favorite of all those is a fairly obscure one originally called "An evening with Ornette Coleman" that was originally released on some major label (RCA I think) and then been given cheap, ugly reissues on numerous labels and with different tracklists/song-selections. One entire side is a pretty dull "song" composed by Ornette for a symphony-orchestra but the remaining three sides? SO fucking good!!! I wish more live-material from this band will become released because the small handful of records/material available is just too little.

Not too fond of the (little) studio-material this band did though; I have only ehard the soundtrack to the wacky Chappaqua-movie that wasn't even used! That one doesn't work too well IMO with useless orchestral overdubs(?, maybe they were playing next to an actual orchestra). I don't think I've heard any other studio-material from that particular group ...

Sonny Rollins - A Night at the Village Vanguard, Vol. 1 & 2
Joe Henderson - Inner Urge
Tony Williams - Life Time

i'm kinda a Grant Green stan too, from his early 60's stuff (Green Street is a fave) to his later funk stuff (the live albums from that period are where it's at)

also...Shorter's stuff, Mobley's stuff of course, Bobby Hutcherson, etc etc

Lonnie Smith & Lou Donaldson had some great soul-jazz albums w/ good hard bop elements to them too of course, Turning Point & Alligator Boogaloo are personal faves (Idris is that guy of course when it comes to funky jazz drummers)

I also picked it up for the same reason (on the cheap) and was pleasantly surprised. Stan Turrentine (a player I'm not usually a fan of) steals the show, though Duke's originals are all great.

I was all about Milt Jackson when I first started digging jazz in my late teens, so I picked up Cherry because of the co-billing to Milt. Side one was alright. Flipped it over, heard this:

So, y'know. I can't be all that mad at Stan Turrentine.

Kind of like Ben Webster's run right before he died, Ike just mellowed out and started playing these long, gorgeous melodic lines in his solos. A lot of the albums were not meant to be done as all ballads sessions, but ended up that way because Ike was just playing the shit out of everything in that mode. Blue and Sentimental is literally saving the very best for last. As much as he tries to steal the show, Grant Green can't even mess with Ike on that album.

And one more thing, even though it's not a proper album, The Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions is essential for providing proof that Ike could cook in those days just as much as anybody. I couldn't find anything on YouTube, but even if it's a two disc set, it's just completely killer all the way through. Highly recommended.

Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson
Willie Bobo-Spanish Grease
Willie Bobo-Feelin' So Good (featuring one of my favorite versions of "Sunny")
Willie Bobo-Juicy
Willie Bobo-A New Dimension
Walter Wanderley-Rain Forest
Jimmy Smith-Bashin'
Jimmy Smith-Hobo Flats
Jimmy Smith-The Cat
Jimmy Smith-Got My Mojo Workin'
Jimmy Smith-Peter & The Wolf
Jimmy Smith-Respect!
Jimmy Smith-Stay Loose
Jimmy Smith-Groove Drops
Jimmy Smith-In A Plain Brown Wrapper
Jimmy Smith-Root Down
Jimmy Smith-Bluesmith
Jimmy Smith-Portuguese Soul

The Mothers Of Invention-Absolutely Free
The Mothers Of Invention-We're Only In It For The Money
Frank Zappa-Lumpy Gravy
Cruisin' With Reuben & The Jets-s/t
Velvet Underground & Nico-s/t
Velvet Underground-White Light/White Heat
Phil Woods-Round Trip

There's so many. A bunch of Wes Montgomery albums.

this label is a goldmine in general, taylor & thiele as producers for many...

________________________________________________________________
whenever you did these things to the least of my brothers you did them to me

(The big ones I guess would be Coltrane, Mingus, Sanders and Oliver Nelson)

Archie Shepp-Everything up until-and including-"the way ahead"; after that he went commercial soul-jazz which is nice too but not as good. I'm partial towards the debut "Four for trane" myself but "Fire music" is the classic I guess... The way aheasd is a banger too...

Marion Brown-Three for shepp. I love this guy and while I don't think this album is as good as his ESP-disk record "Why not" (GREAT record) or even the utterly obscure "Juba-Lee" or his best album "Porto novo" or the ECM record, it's still killer...

Alice Coltrane-Ptah! the el doad. I'm not a big fan of this girl who's jazz was a bit too much on the spiritual hippie side of things, even more so than Pharoah who I'm not a big fan of either even if I dig him. Still, this album is a killer with Joe Henderson, Sanders and Ron Carter. I don't know if it was a fluke or something but it's stellar...

Max Roah-Percussion bittersweet. Eric Dolphy! Abby Lincoln! Booker Little! This album is overshadowed by "we insist!" from the same year but it's just as good IMO even if it may lack the standouts.

All the Sun Ra reissues of obscure self-released records from the early 70's; Nubians from plutonia in particular is a very fun-and accessible!-record...

i used to have a CD of that Roach album too

some others:

Gabor Szabo - The Sorcerer
Michael White - Land of Spirit & Light
Oliver Nelson - the Blues & the Abstract Truth
Chico Hamilton (Larry Coryell's first jazz date i think) - The Dealer
Dewey Redman - Coincide
Keith Jarrett - Death & the Flower

________________________________________________________________

Black Saint & the Sinner Lady
Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus
Mingus Plays Piano

You can tell get a great understanding of what Mingus was about musically - what he had done, was doing, and would do - with those three albums in that one year.

James Black playing the drunkest funk shuffle ever.

Yusef is one of those guys where it's like, if I see an album of his that I don't have, I'm buying it, doesn't matter. I know it's going to be good. It just is.

His playing in the Cannonball Adderley group was fucking scorching in the early 60's:

His birth name was actually Bill Evans.

Most people know AAM from his time in Monk's band, but all of the albums he did as a leader are fucking awesome. Most of them I wouldn't even count as jazz, really. More like "world music" (which is a categorization I hate, but it gets the point across). This two-fer on Prestige is great: http://www.allmusic.com/album/jazz-sounds-of-africa-mw0000023394

Gato Barbieri-Chapter 1:Latin America. KILLER fusion of jazz and argentinian folk music; much better than the "Last tango in apris"-shit that would make him a relative star...

Charlie Haden-the Liberation music orchestra; All-star band and great songs with-again-a world music vibe

Ornette Coleman-Crisis. This live has never been re-released to my knowledge which is strange since it was on impulse and Ornette being a fairly big name. It has him reuniting with Cherry and Haden but Dewy Redman is there too and (somewhat unfortunately), Ornette's kid son on drums. Still, it's dope, one of my top 5 Ornette albums...
