What sounds good on vinyl?

What re issues are good to get?

Etc...

I have some in mind, but just want to get the Coli's opinion and help..

 

[Brady-Carter]

No one?

I guess I should have put Jay-Z Vs Nas in the title...

Anyone know a forum I should check out?

Lol at Pharoah Sanders' yodeling ass. We used to do shrooms and play his version of 'love supreme'


Get some Coltrane, Thelonius, Blakey, Cannonball, Miles

Thanks bra, a couple are on my list. Going to check out the others I have no clue about. What records are a must for any vinyl Jazz collection on your list?

And I am not just talking about what you should have have as a Jazz fan, but what you should have as a Jazz fan on Vinyl. If that makes sense?

Ya b/c I am asking about Jazz vinyl I have no idea about...

I am not saying I am a Jazz expert, but I know a bit. What I don't know for sure, is what Vinyl to grab..

Don't be shy, it is not about getting me into Jazz. It is about helping getting the must have vinyl Jazz records..

Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady

Ya, this is a a essential for sure.

It is 54$ on Amazon and a re issue, you think it is worth it?

I don't really fukk with vinyls so I don't have a great feel of how much they typically cost. I think it's an essential record, but I could see holding off if there are cheaper options you want to invest in first.

Ugh, that's where I am at. I have no idea what I should grab on Vinyl. shyt, I have a shyt load of Jazz on my hard drive. But the question is, what is worth the price on Vinyl?

But props @notorious8562. Appreciate the help and honesty..

 

[Brady-Carter]

Come on Coli music aficionados, I am sure your musical knowledge spreads to Jazz. Help me out, at least give me a link to a Jazz or Vinyl forum..

 

[Mr.Black]
