Top 10 Jazz recordings ever

Foster 9, Funny that you say that...Its exactly how I feel about Particia Barber and so many folks really like her too. I guess we all listen to music with different ears don't we. :-)

I hear ya! Newbee...

Orpheus10 and Grimace, where are you?

My favorite jazz vocalist is still Ella Fitzgerald. I think any jazz collection worthy of the name must include some of her recordings. Two personal favorites of mine are the 40th Birthday Concert, which was recorded live in Rome, and also one called On the Sunny Side of the Street, which she recorded with the Basie band. And of course, there are all of the excellent songbook sets. Pretty much anything she did is well worth listening to.

Sarah Vaughan 'After Hours', Roulette 52070, 1955

Roberta Gambarini 'Easy To Love', Groovin' High, 2006

Cassandra Wilson 'Blue Light 'Til Dawn, Blue Note, 1993

Ella Fitzgerald & Duke Ellington 'At Cote d'Azur', Mosaic, 2010 -- just got this three disc set. Ella in top form!

Terence Blanchard's 'Let's Get Lost', (Sony, 2001) is a tribute to Jimmy McHugh and features a number of contemporary vocalists

I just can find the words to express my gratitude for all this knowledge shared,
you guys are great!
thank you for making myself in a more sophisticated audiophile i guess at least on music taste.
happy holidays I am listening also Jazz 88 from Newark NJ, wow, a super choice to learn.
