Jazz is about emotion and conversation between the musicians and between the musicians and the listeners. Jazz is a new story being told and celebrated every time  you hear it. The same piece of Jazz music can be listened to over and over and you'll hear a different part of the conversation, you'll hear a different shade to the color that is Jazz.

The quintessential American music that is spoken all over the world and given it's own flavor and style where ever it's played. Because Jazz is about the conversation everyone can be part of it.

The Spotlight is On Miles Davis' Album "Kind of Blue" 

Kind of Blue

Kind of Blue

Amazon Price: $7.97 (as of 10/12/2008)

Miles Davis released Kind of Blue in 1959 and I still can't think of a better album to get when you are new to Jazz. It just doesn't blow you away with complexity but make no mistake it will blow you away.

It is tight and lush while being stark at the same time. You can close your eyes and lay back while listening to Kind of Blue or you can move around the room like you just found something special. I highly recommend Kind of Blue because it is something special.

The Spotlight is On Dave Brubeck's Album "Time Out" 

Time Out

Time Out

Amazon Price: $7.97 (as of 10/12/2008)

1959 saw the release of a number of Jazz albums that would become classics. Along with Dave Brubeck's "Time Out" the seminal Jazz album from Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" was also released.

Brubeck on the piano was joined by alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, drummer Joe Morrello and bassist Gene Wright. It was Paul Desmond who wrote the albums most recognized tune "Take Five."

This albums lends itself to Jazz lovers and people who could care less about Jazz. Along with "Kind of Blue" this is an album that fits nicely into every music lovers library. I high recommend it to people new to Jazz and to anyone looking for some classic American music.

The Spotlight is On Charles Mingus' Album "Cornell 1964" 

Cornell 1964

Cornell 1964

Amazon Price: $16.97 (as of 10/12/2008)

The band that Charles Mingus, the doyen of jazz's mercurial polymaths, pulled together for his early-1964 European tour was phenomenal-and here they are playing 130 minutes worth of live music no one's ever heard. Pianist Jaki Byard, alto saxophonist/flutist/bass clarinetist Eric Dolphy, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, trumpeter Johnny Coles, and longtime drummer Dannie Richmond came together for the Mingus tour knowing that Dolphy would be staying in Europe after their gigs-he died tragically just 12 weeks after this gig. And Coles would come perilously close to death himself with a stomach ulcer within a month of the band's Cornell date, forcing him off the tour. So the music here is particularly special and musically resplendent. There is considerable overlap with the The Great Concert of Charles Mingus, but that 2-CD set is sans the ailing Coles, who fattens the sound here: playing beautifully as "Johnny O'Coles" on the unlikely "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling." But Eric Dolphy, his every breath is poetry: from his palpitating bass clarinet on the pugnacious "Fables of Faubus" to the tipsy, whirling flute he plays on "Jitterbug Waltz," a tune he loved playing.
