Just curious, what is your favorite jazz album to sit in your favorite chair/couch and enjoy a nice, cold, frosty beverage to? I know this can change from day to day, so if you were to do it right now what would it be?

Right now, I'm turning on Dexter Gordon,"Daddy Plays the Horn." Smokin!

 

[Budget Explosion]

Dexter came to my mind also...maybe Dexter Calling?

 

[DTExpress]

The Sound of Sonny

 

[memphissax]

Excellent choice, Budget Exposion! I love all Dexter!

 

[memphissax]

Love me some Sonny too! Which one in particular?

 

[DTExpress]

"The Last Time I Saw Paris" from The Sound of Sonny LP

 

[memphissax]

Excellent. On another note, anybody dig "Salt and Pepper" (Stitt/Gonsalves)? If so, best part of it?

 

[DTExpress]

Good one!

 

[belliott]

Yes, "Salt and Pepper" is one good album.......Perdido is really good. Still have the vinyl I bought back in the 60s. Good stuff.

 

[memphissax]

Just bought it from Itunes, it's killin!

 

[memphissax]

Just thought of another one, Ben Webster "King of the Tenors." Such a wonderful album, love every track!

Cannonball's Bossa Nova and a frosty Blue Moon (or Hacker Pschorr), anyone?

 

[memphissax]

YESSS! I also love Cannonball's "Something Else" and "Live in San Francisco." There are sooooo many great ones!

 

[DanPerezSax]

+1 for Cannonball's Bossa Nova, great album, and perfect for the setting you've got in mind! How bout "Benny Carter and Dizzy Gillespie?" That's a great album to chill to.

Kind of Blue

 

[Flâneur]

Tippin' The Scales -Jackie MacLean

 

[jrvinson45]

Nino Tempo "Tenor Saxophone". A sound I'd almost kill for.

 

[madhag]

i LOVE cannonball's bossa nova. i'd drink anything to coleman hawkins encounters ben webster. however if i drink anything warmer than a frosty cold beverage to this i'd spontaneously combust
