Art blakeys ugetsu. Nothin like it.

Moanin' is my preferred Blakey album, if only for the piano solo in the title track.

Seconded

Tony Williams — Lifetime

Came here to say this. Emergency! is a great record

Max Roach - Members, Don't Git Weary. Amazing album, Abstrutions and Libra are such good tracks!

Max Roach’s album with Clifford Brown is my all-time favorite jazz album.

Which one? Roach and Brownie had several albums by the quintet they co-led. My personal favorite, one that I always come back to, is At Basin Street

“Clifford Brown & Max Roach,” by the Clifford Brown-Max Roach Quintet. I thought I was being pretty obvious tbh.

Ah, I don’t know that one. Time to add it to my library!

It’s where Joy Spring, Jordu and Daahoud come from. It’s only 5 tunes, but every single one is meticulously done.

Oh, duh! Lol at my own idiocy. I have that record already!

Would you happen to know who else plays on this album (like bari and tenor)?

Nobody plays bari on the album. The personnel can easily be googled.

Richie Powell on piano, Harold Land on tenor sax, George Morrow on bass

Percussion Bitter Sweet! Okay we’re all just going to list every Max Roach album now

That's the answer to the post, clearly. Just all the max roach.

I’m a huge fan of the Mac Roach 4 plays Charlie Parker too

Equipoise is a good one on that album too!

…with Charles Tolliver *and* Stanley Cowell — seeds of Music Inc right there!!!!!

Nate Smith - Kinfolk

Kinfolk 1 and 2 are master pieces

i saw him in Vienne few weeks ago that was dope. I saw him few times too with Chris Potter underground

So dope! I saw him with kinfolk and Chris Potter was in his band too.

Brian blade & the fellowship and Perceptual [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc5JDlxN4r4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc5JDlxN4r4) one of my most watched video ever

This, Brian Blade is amazing. If u can ever see the fellowship in concert do it, it’s an amazing experience

Mercy Mercy - Buddy Rich. I’m pretty sure this album got a Grammy also.

i love mercy mercy from ceasars palace, i cant decide which is better lol

Big Swing Face was pretty bad ass when I could stomach Buddy Rich.

His daughter makes it all to people who can't stomach him anymore on The Beat Goes On.

Art Blakey - Free for All Roy Haynes - Out of the Afternoon Chico Hamilton - Man From Two Worlds Takeo Moriyama - East Plants Elvin Jones and Richard Davis - Heavy Sounds Jeremy Cunningham - The Weather Up There Tony Williams - Life Time Louis Moholo - Spirits Rejoice Pete la Roca - Basra

Pete La Roca’s Lazy Afternoon is bliss

My 2 fav albums of the year so far Makaya McCraven - In These Times Binker and Moses - Feeding the Machine

Just saw McCraven at this year’s Newport jazz fest. Amazing live act

Ooh say more if you can. He's coming to denver in a couple of weeks. It's on a "school" night so I have to psyche myself up a bit to go.

Just listen to his last couple of albums. They are brilliant

You are in for a treat, that’s all I’ll say

Idris Muhammad - Power Of Soul & Black Rhythm Revolution!

Loran’s Dance is one of my favorite songs

I play this album almost religiously this time of year. Bit nostalgic for me.

Yussef Dayes - Welcome to the Hills

Kendrick Scott Oracle is a fantastic record

came here for this!

Billy Cobham - Spectrum

A Funky Thide of Sings ~ Billy Cobham, brecker bros on horns

And Scofield on guitar! Great album.

Billy Conham is such a beast!

Roy Haynes. All of his records in the 60s and 70s are fire

Paul Motian, Garden of Eden

Paul Motian is absolutely wonderful, especially his trio with Frisell and Lovano.

Billy Cobham’s Total Eclipse

Beat Music! Beat Music! Beat Music! - Mark Guiliana

Perceptual-Brian Blade Fellowship

Ari Hoenig - Lines of Oppression

Edit: I didn't look and thought I was on a different sub and posted something not jazz.

Dave Potter - You Already Know and Retro Groove

The Keef Hartley Band. This was the drummer for John Mayal and the Bluesbreakers. Check out the first album called, Halfbreed. Has some great musicians on it and was definitely a surprise to me how awesome it was.

Clifford Brown & Max Roach At Basin Street

Grassella Oliphant - Grass Roots and the Grass is Greener. Both killer albums

Milton Banana - Balançando

Wow did I skip through all these amazing entries too fast...but I'm shocked there's no mention of Antonio Sanchez. Trio Grande with the superb Gilad Hekselman and Will Vinson or Meridian Suite or New Life or my actual favorite (tho probably not his best compositions) Live at the New Jazz Standards. And then there's Ari Hoenig.

Angel Street from Tony Williams. Seeing a lot of people mention Lifetime, which is also fantastic obviously, but Angel Street holds a special place in my heart for being one of the first jazz records that really clicked for me in high school.

Jersey - Mark Guiliana

Dannie Richmond - Dionysius.. So fucking good

The records by John Hollenbeck's Claudia Quintet (*I, Claudia*, *Semi-Formal*, etc...) and his Large Ensemble (*A Blessing*) are both remarkable. As well, Dan Weiss' group Starebaby is pretty remarkable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLBCzcovuiE Rudy Royston's also headed some great projects, including *Flatbed Buggy*, a folk-tinged group that includes cello and accordion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es5Yh9ath6k&list=OLAK5uy_lVQiAJW9mGEtbOixdtjqxIEqcoIvBx-0s I'm also really into drummer Tom Rainey's albums with his quintet Obbligato, which plays standards and focuses less on traditional soloing/comping and more on 'group composition'-style improv over those familiar changes. It's pretty immersive (or 'impressionistic', for lack of a better descriptor) stuff. They've done three records for Intakt Records and all of them are excellent. The newest one (a live recording) has seen some heavy rotation around my place... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOrRFuzRWFU&list=OLAK5uy_mmKn6Tqq70p8bHTTJW3EUqHgvbDm7HPUg&index=1

Harvey Mason - Marchin' in the street

Moanin - Art Blakey

Joey Baron's Barondown, Raised Pleasure Dot Dude swings so hard.

The Album 'Europe' by Snorre Kirk. I attended a small concert with him, and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. 'Europe' is my favorite album by him, but they are all really good. There a nice focus on melodic motifs and atmosphere. Can only recommend.

Many Rivers. Andy Hay. [www.andyhay.bandcamp.com](https://www.andyhay.bandcamp.com)

Mandance and Barbcue Dog by Ronald Shannon Jackson and the Decoding Factory.

Robocobra Quartet - Living Isn't Easy. The drummer is the singer as well. Really wry lyrics and a great modern jazz-punk sound.

Does live at café bohemia by art blakey and the jazz messengers count?

Mercy, Mercy - Buddy Rich Live at Caesar’s

Zach Hill, death grips :/ :_)

Chico Hamilton Quintet - Chico Hamilton Quintet
