The List: Albums That Everyone Should Own

[ardenik]

well, im not certain if its his only album with a vocalist on which he is the leader.. but im sure he's played on a bunch of albums by singers. i know he plays on sum dinah washington record at least.. but id be a liar to say that i know of many vocal albums with coltrane playin on them. i must say it would be a shame tho if coltrane never played with ella or sarah vaughan

I think my professor was playing a track from that Coltrane and Hartman album today before class began. Is it Coltrane's only album with a vocalist on it?

100 Historically Significant Jazz Recordings

i am sooo gonna get roasted for this post... hahahaha
if anybody trips on jazz & would like a "not-so-original" copy of any of these for almost nothing, let me know & i'll see what i can do

100 HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT JAZZ RECORDINGS:
(go ahead & count 'em, there's a hundred..)

Cannonball Adderley (alto sax)
-Somethin' Else
-Cannonball & Coltrane

Miles Davis (trumpet)
-Kind of Blue
-Milestones
-'Round About Midnight
-Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet
-Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet
-Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet

***INTERESTING FACT: the above 3 albums, plus a fourth one called "Workin' with the Miles Davis Quintet" are often referred to as the "Prestige Marathon Sessions" (Prestige is the name of the record company) All four of these albums were recorded in only TWO studio days in 1956. Therefore, every track on these albums are first takes & they capture the greatness of these 5 phenomenal musicians. That's the Miles Davis way of making an album: bring together the best of the best musicians in the world: John Coltrane (tnsx), Red Garland (pno), Paul Chambers (bass) & Philly Joe Jones (dr); put them together in the studio & let them make their magic.... For an even better example of the Miles Davis way of making an album, check out "Kind of Blue" (1959), arguably the MOST historically significant album OF ALL TIME...

if Ambulance is the band name, then we're talking about different things here lol. The band I'm talking about is called "Thrice."

[whitelotus]

i dunno.



im not a fan of the ambulance.
im not really informed on all the new stuff going on.
i first got to know them when they were starting out, then the drummer left, and then they got a new drummer and they were recording new music, and they were looking to get signed ....

after that i dunno whats going on lol

[Darorinag]

Do you mean Thrice?!??! The Artist in the Ambulance is the name of their album. I'm confused.

[whitelotus]

the drummer of the ambulance is a buddy of mine, hes an awesome person.

i heard they are looking for another guitarist, if im not mistaken.
so its not going to be a trio anymore.

im not really a fan of the ambulance but i support them because of kirk.

[Darorinag]

Tool is great. I like Ministry, Thrice, KMFDM, and Nirvana. If I had enough money, I'd buy all their albums.

Thrice's The Artist in the Ambulance IS THE BEST ALMBUM IN THE WHOLE WORD.
