I'm just starting to listen to Jazz and I want to know what must-have albums that I need.

there is a shit ton of stuff on you tube. Go there and do a search on dave brubeck, john coltrane, miles davis, buddy rich, thelonius monk for starters.

Those fukkers were geniuses.

Don’t forget John Stockton and Karl Malone.

The Quintet - Live at Massey Hall 1953 is a classic. Deadly all star line-up.

Small sample (best track IMHO)

salt peanuts

What the fuck Phibes? I thought you were into Linkin Park and shit like that?

Good track anyway.

salt peanuts is a cool track......till somebody actually starts signing.

Worst lyrics evah.

in addition to the monk, miles, coltrane thing...charlie parker

eric dolphy, oliver nelson, ornette coleman, rashaan roland kirk, wayne shorter, herbie hancock, dewey redman, old and new dreams, ken vandermark.

if you are into cool jazz drummers, besides buddy and joe morello, check out papa jo jones.

I thought maybe that john bonham was copying morello with the bare handed thing, but, I think they were both copying papa jo. there is a clip on you tube from about '53 with him and some other old black dudes. he is fukking awesome.

Yeah, I used to think Dave Clark was the best drummer on the planet - then someone gave me a two record set called 'the big beat' - featuring Jo Jones, Philly Joe Jones, Art Blakey and Max Roach respectively. Never really heard jazz before that but you instantly know you're onto something completely different..
