What was your first jazz album?

distressed_romeo · 03-05-2007, 08:21 AM

Pretty self-explanatory title...

Mine were 'Heavy Weather' by Weather Report, and 'The Inner Mounting Flame' by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, which I brought on the same day when I was about 14-15.

Mine was by a parent of one of my dad's students. He's a local Sax player that has some pretty good stuff, but I can't remember his name. It's been a few years since I've been able to find that damn album.

Either Bitches Brew by Miles Davis or the When Harry Met Sally soundtrack by Harry Connick Jnr., depending on how much of a purist you are, heh.

The Ramsey Lewis Trio, "The In Crowd." Still one of my favorite "chill, hang out music" discs.

Best of Wes Montgomery .

Buddy Rich- Mercy, Mercy

Jaco...as a funk bassist I heard about him and that was the beginning of jazz for me.

"Kind of Blue", when I was like 14. I bought "Bitches' Brew" the next week, and though, "man, this must be a different Miles Davis. All these jazz guys have the same names!"

My first was Virtuoso #2 by Joe Pass. Great album, by a GOD.
