@SVG__Collection Kind of Blue is not only the greatest jazz record ever made, it’s one of the greatest records, period, of any genre. Great place to start — the ONLY place to start — and an excellent list.

@SVG__Collection This is one of my favorite albums ever!!!!

@SVG__Collection When you get issued a social security number you should also be issued a copy of ‘Kind Of Blue.’

@SVG__Collection One Flight Up by Dexter Gordon recorded on June 2, 1964 in Paris and released on Blue Note the following year. The session featured Donald Byrd on trumpet, pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, and drummer Art Taylor.

@SVG__Collection My Favorite Things vs. A Love Supreme? I am genuinely curious as to why.

@SVG__Collection S P E C T A C U L A R ! My brain was manufacturing endorphins just looking at the Album Covers 💯 @yoyokadrums @AiFurusato @goodsonlyknows2 @jbbricker

@SVG__Collection Excellent but incomplete without the King of Jazz himself Roland Kirk

@SVG__Collection Back around the early 90's Time-Life had one of those CD of the month clubs where it was all Jazz. You got a random Jazz CD each month, and it could be from any era: Modern, 70's, big band, acid, etc. One of the best investments I ever made in my life. r k
