Thanks for the list. I will check it out. Mostly looking for a discussion list, but will keep those albums in mind.

Subject: Re: Jazz lists
I'm both a power pop fan/musician and a jazz fan/musician. Personally I
ould recommend focusing on 1956 through the mid '70s first.
I'm not aware of a currently active discussion list for classic jazz
istening. The problem (IMO) is that the classic works are pretty old now.
Listeners go through a process of discovery, but eventually they "know the
atalog" and no longer need to discuss it. So if it's mainly the
iscussion aspect you're after, I can't help (though if you find it, let me
now)...but if you're interested in some essential classic jazz listening
deas, read on.
Jamey Aebersold is a jazz sax player and educator who has been running jazz
linics for many years (I've attended 6 times). His list of "historically
ignificant jazz recordings" is below. I've underlined a few that I
ersonally think are short list essentials for a jazz listener. His web
ite is http://jazzbooks.com. The list below comes from "Free Jazz -> Jazz
andbook" on that site. If you don't have any of them, I would start with
iles Davis Kind of Blue, and Hank Mobley Soul Station.
Hope this helps somebody discover some great jazz.
John

Anyone know of any jazz lists that would be like what Audities was like in
it's heyday? Lost of people talking about jazz, fave and classic stuff etc?
Looking for one with an emphasis on jazz from the 60's up to about the
'80's
- classic blue note, verve, atlantic stuff etc......
