I wonder if there is a Leon Redbone radio available on Spotify. It would be interesting to see who they consider similar artists. The Delbert McClinton station was a revelation.

greatest Jazz album ever...

The challenge is to argue for which album should be ranked #2

Of course it’s all a matter of personal opinion (like so and so is the best guitar player ever, etc…) but for me, after Kind of Blue I would rate these in a top 10 sort of listing (but in no particular order… I’m not really listing album #2 here… just my list to flesh out MY top 10)
Time Out - Dave Brubeck
Song For My Father - Horace Silver
Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus - Vince Guaraldi
The Köln Concert - Keith Jarret
The Incredible Jazz Guitar of - Wes Montgomery
Getz/Gilberto - Stan Getz and João Gilberto
Sunday at the Village Vanguard - Bill Evans Trio
Heavy Weather - Weather Report
Moanin’ - Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
Giant Steps - John Coltrane

I know I’m leaving out the all time great cats like Armstrong, Django, Billie, Ellington, Rollins, Parker, Monk, Sinatra, Ella, Nat (Cole and Adderley) more Miles’ albums, etc…. But you gotta draw the line somewhere. And you’ll notice I have a lot of piano players on my list. Which may seem strange because I don’t play piano, I play guitar, sing and also play double bass. So where is Scofield, Joe Pass, Kenny Burrell, Barney Kessell, Metheny, Mingus, etc. ???

I just know my list are seminal albums - and they all make the top 100 lists world wide - but they are the ones that speak to me personally.

Thoughts?

Eh. Any top ten without Duke, Monk, Mingus is lacking imo.

As the gummies have done their thing, this old man says it's that time to fall into bed and hope for swet dreams. A little night muic helps.
