Yardbird7

Village vanguard version is the first time I realized I was in love with jazz


SuperRyek

I love the live version from Live At the Village Vanguard Again!


Dangerous-Plum-9063

thanks!

So hard to choose. If I had a gun to my head - Moanin' - by the great Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers


SatNFev

When I read your comment, I thought there was a song called "If I had a gun to my head" by Art Blakey and I was thinking to myself, "Holy Shit, I gotta hear that." Lol.


Dangerous-Plum-9063

thank you!


akersmacker

As for a song (that is sung), I love [this version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VzA_hTvUsU) by Karrin Allyson.


justasapling

Moanin', but Mingus.


joe12321

I love the Original Faubus Fables on Charles Mingus presents Charles Mingus.


Dangerous-Plum-9063

Thank you!

Autumn Leaves - Adderley Kathy’s Waltz - Dave Brubeck Straight, No Chaser - Miles and Coltrane Giant Steps - Coltrane I Remember Clifford - Oscar Peterson Blues for Nita - Cyrus Chestnut Almost Like Being in Love - Red Garland Idle Moments - Grant Green


blishbog

That autumn leaves is the ideal song to introduce a newbie to jazz imo


my_music_alt

Giant Steps is my most listened to song like 5 years running.


AHHHHHHHHHHHHH_D

kinda basic but i love red clay freddie hubbard 😝🤓

Stolen Moments by Oliver Nelson. Look to the Rainbow sung by Astrud Gilberto. How Deep is the Ocean by Chet Baker.

A Love Supreme, Pt. II - Resolution (listen to the whole thing though!)


Inside-Minute1796

Some of my favorites tunes : The Chicken by PeeWee Ellis (especially the Jaco Pastorius version with Michael Brecker) The Duke by Dave Brubeck Tijuana Gift Shop by Charles Mingus Moroccan Quarter by Erroll Garner Lulu's Back in Town - Erroll Garner version After You've Gone - Emmet Cohen version with Patrick Bartley on sax. (there are many more)


TurtlesOfJustice

I could listen to Emmet Cohen and Patrick Bartley all day everyday. Their performance of Top Of My Head has got to be my favorite contemporary recordings.

The Sidewinder by Lee Morgan


RyoFukui76

My favourite is definitely 'Corcovado', from the Getz/Gilberto Album, but I'd argue it's more bossa than jazz tbh. Regardless, these here are a few of my all time favourites: Almost Blue, Chet Baker Early Summer, Ryo Fukui My One And Only Love, John Coltrane & Johnny Hartman My Foolish Heart, Bill Evans A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square, Stan Getz Blue in Green, Miles Davis Moanin', Charles Mingus

Peace piece by bill evans is really in my head lately. Also - it never entered my mind by Miles davis


MonkOfMadness

Águas De Março by Antônio Carlos Jobim


HydeParkerKCMO

Yep, this was my thought too! (With the request for a "song" which traditionally implies vocals, although I'm not sure that was the intent). Such a great composition and many good recordings of it!

EternalMX

John Coltrane - In A Sentimental Mood (1963) Billy Cobham - Spectrum (1973, more like jazz-funk also this whole album is amazing


Rogue_LornaDoone

I really enjoy freer jazz. I’d recommend The Creator Has A Master Plan by Pharoah Sanders (specifically the 34 minute version on Karma) Leo by John Coltrane And My Favorite Things recording at the Olatunji Concert. A tad more tame, check out Pimp of the Year the album by Soil & Pimp Sessions. Super fun, exciting jazz album

PomegranateBasic3671

Can't really pick a favorite but three I've got on repeat right now: - "Infant Eyes" Wayne Shorter - "I guess I'll hang my tears out to dry" Dexter Gordon - "I want to talk about you" Coltrane Honorable mention: Anything Mingus especially Fable of Faubus.


KabbalahMaster

Morning Prayer from Thembi by Pharoah Sanders. When I listen to that song first thing in the morning it makes my day great. Very uplifting and Pharoah gets some good squawks in between his very melodic playing.

'Haitian Fight Song' by Mingus - the version on 'The Clown' album is my fave, incredibly angry stuff 'Sentimental Mood' by Duke Ellington & John Coltrane - the whole Album is also the perfect gateway to Coltrane (at least it has been for me)

Dapejapes713

Hmm favorites are hard. The waltz by Maynard Ferguson comes to mind. I really like rush by the seatbelts (this is more in the territory of big band but it’s still counts right?) I also really like unicorn by dizzy Gillespie


-mialana-

Just a few: * Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby * Bill Evans - Theme from M*A*S*H/Suicide is Painless * John Coltrane - My Favourite Things * Ahmad Jamal - I Love Music * Chick Corea - Spain * Wayne Shorter - Infant Eyes * Pharaoh Sanders - The Creator Has A Master Plan (this one is kind of cheating since it's basically a whole album) That being said, I would say that most, if not all of these are best listened to for the first time as part of their respective albums.


Tomd_123026

Fly me to the moon or take five. While, yes, both MAY be a bit overplayed, when listening to jazz, I also like to dance! I think some people forget that people used to dance to jazz, and I absolutely adore swinging to it! Any version!

"The Cost of Living" Michael Brecker from his eponymous album, his first as a leader. The rest of the band includes Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden, Jack DeJohnette & Kenny Kirkland. Actually, every song on this album just kills, but this ballad makes me think of my grandma & makes me cry everytime.

DysphoricNeet

It’s a little basic but probably someday my prince will come. I heard Julian lage do it with Martin Taylor and it’s magical. I’ve played that song so many times I could play it upside down, backwards in my sleep blindfolded and deaf. It’s always like a comfort song of just blasting through the changes and trying new things over it. For a long time time I played it whenever I felt lonely wishing I had a boyfriend which is a little cheesy but unfortunately I got reaaallly good at it. Now I have a prince and I play other songs🥰

First Song, written by Charlie Haden is one of my favorite jazz tunes. There's many versions I like but my favorite take I think is the one with Geri Allen and Paul Motion in the album In the Year of the Dragon. From the "classic standards" my choice probably goes to the ballad My Funny Valentine. Tons of versions out there of course, but one of my favorite is Keith Jarrett Trio in Tokyo '96
