Hi all!
I’m in the mood for some new music. Or rather, new listening to old tunes.
My search through jazz started largely with the Coltrane / Coltrane-esque outside stuff (Pharoah, Ayler, Gayle, Doyle, etc), and I’ve since branched into more post-boppish stuff (some of Henderson, Tyner, later Davis, Dolphy, etc) and hard bop (Gordon, Hubbard, and such), but I am really clueless when it comes to earlier, well, at the point of straight bop stuff.
I have a little of it on CD and vinyl—some random Charlie Parker compilations, some Clifford Brown—but really not much. And I’m not sure where to go further.
So, could y’all give me some recommendations? Particularly bop records that are pretty well mastered (my current ones aren’t so great on that front)? Big names or obscure names are equally welcome.
I’m totally down for even earlier stuff, too. Big band, etc.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thanks!
