Bilbo Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Thousands of albums come and go as we move through life but there are always a handful that stay with us and which we never tire of. For me, there ones that never seem to grow stale include... Nova - Vimana - a 1976 LP by an Italian fusion outfit but with Percy Jones on bass. Impossible to locate but there are some tracks in Youtube (Vimana, Night Games, The Princess and The Frog) Bill Bruford - Feels Good To Me (1978) Jeff Berlin's finest moment with Annette Peacock, Allan Holdsworth, Dave Stewart and Kenny Wheeler) Kenny Wheeler - Music for Large and Small Ensembles (1990) Marc Johnson - Bass Desires (1985) John Scofiled, Bill Frissel, Peter Ersking - stunning Dave Holland - Extensions (1990)Holland, Steve Coleman, Kevin Eubanks and Marvin Smitty Smith Jaco Pastorius - Twins - the US double LP version (recorded 1982 but released 1999) Joe Lovano - Landmarks (1990) - Lovano, Marc Johnson, Bill Stewart, Kenny Werner, John Abercrombie but this one is greater than the sum of it's parts Genesis - Seconds Out (1976?) - every track a gem - love lots of their stuff but this one was the one that broke them for me Branford Marsalis - Trio Jeepy Yes - Close To The Edge - my first prog LP There are so many more but these are the ones that come to mind and which I occasionally go back to whilst others are long, long gone. What are your keepers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambient Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Kind of blue for jazz, my first exposure to jazz as a teenaged bassist. Duke - my first introduction to Genesis. Wish you were here - my older bother played me this once on holiday, totally blew me away. If this bass could only talk by Stanley Clarke, first heard it when I was maybe 16 or something. Phaedra by Tangerine dream. The planets by Holst, we were played it at primary school in assembly, 1 suite per day. It was my first time really listening to classical music. Joni Mitchell - Hejira - my first time hearing Jaco. Edited July 25, 2014 by ambient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Too many to list! But for a real genuine keeper, it would be 'Moonflower' by Santana. Their last great album, but more importantly the album that took me onto so many new pastures. In 1990, I was a 16 year old metal fan, but slowly moving away from it. I heard a whole side of 'Moonflower' played by Fluff Freeman on a Saturday night, and I was hooked. I can't think of many records that have so much - soul, pop, rock, latin, jazz, funk......it took me to a million new directions which I still explore today - and for that its a special one for me, 24 years in. I became immersed in totally new music overnight. Many come and go, but I still love it. Listened to it last weekend in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
