In Reply to: a jazz survey of what gets played most at home - 'kind of blue' or 'love supreme' ? (no text) posted by Hi-Fi Nut on October 26, 2011 at 17:45:52:
Doesn't mean these are the "best", but these are the recordings I play most frequently:
Coltrane's Giant Steps
Mal Waldron's The Seagulls of Kristiansund
The Sound of Jazz (The one done several days before the broadcast.)
Monk's Misterioso (Live at the Five Spot)
Bill Evans' Waltz for Debby
Miles Davis' Round About Midnight
Steve Kuhn's Motility
Dexter Gordon's One Flight Up
Sonny Rollins' Volume 2 (Blue Note)
Horace Silver's Stylings of Silver
Gil Evans' & Ten
Red Mitchell's Presenting (on Contemporary)
Chet Baker's ...& Crew
Gerry Mulligan's What Is There To Say?
Count Basie's For the First Time
Charles Mingus Ah Um
Toshiko Mariano Quartet (Candid)
Clare Fischer's Surging Ahead
Red Allen & Pee Wee Russells' The College Concert
Clifford Brown/Max Roach's Brown and Roach Incorporated
I know this is not especially responsive to your post, but I could live without either Kind of Blue or A Love Supreme far more easily than any of the 20 I listed.
