Dave Brubeck - "Time Out"

 

i'm a huge jazz fan. especially of the salad years 50s, 60s, and some of the 70s. asking which album is best is like asking me which of my children i love the most.

certainly Blue Train and Kind of Blue are up in the top 5, if not the top 2.

doody.

Roll your radio over to 88.1 FM. KNTU out of the University of North Texas is all jazz (except Sunday morning). Good way to get a sampler platter of what's out there.

First off, you cannot go wrong with any of the Miles Davis/Gil Evans recordings:
'Kind of Blue', 'Sketches of Spain' and 'Miles Ahead' are the first that come to mind. Be sure to check out his 'Birth of the Cool' album as well.

I really enjoy Coltrane's 'Blue Train' and 'A Love Supreme' albums, Brubeck's 'Time Out'...there are so many.

Have fun,
- Chris

 

88.7 KTCU also has a good mix during the mid-day.
