need Valentine's help - any Jazz music lovers out there???

[helderheid]

I need some suggestions for a Jazz album to buy my husband for Valentine's day. Here's some of what's in his collection to give you an idea of what styles he likes:

Miles Davis
Ellis and Branford Marsalis
Afro Cuban All Stars
John Coltrane
Paolo Conte
John Hiatt
Thelonious Monk

Anyone out there know of a new album that my hubby might like??

Many thanks!

3. you might conside this one

previously unreleased live concert with Monk and Coltrane:



Wynton's latest was good...

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. That's the one I was gonna suggest - the Monk/Coltrane one

[helderheid]

9. I so appreciate this! He has one with thelonious monk and coltrane but

not this one I think!

:yourock:

[helderheid]

11. What's your opinion about John Legend's "Get Lifted" ?

[helderheid]

8. Wasn't it "Miles Davis" that the male nanny told Tom Cruise...

...in the movie "Jerry Maguire" to play if he wanted to score?
Sorry, that's about as helpful or un-helpful as I can be. ;)

10. Anything by David Benoit.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

18. Second that.

Benoit is great. A little on the smooth side of jazz, but he still can hit it.

[NashVegas]

12. Try Chet Baker

What could be better than "My Funny Valentine?"

[trof]

16. 4 Freshmen and 5 Trombones

A lot of people don't think of the "Frosh" as jazz artists.
They're wrong.

[helderheid]

22. I'm so checking this out later - you have no idea how hard it is for me to

shop for him!! I am loving Jazz since being with him but I am such a Jazz virgin! My roots are in early 80s punk/alternative and some hippie stuff.

17. Find the Wayne Shorter album

with the track "Chief Crazy Horse" on it. He's yer hubby. It's a no-brainer, he'll LOVE IT.

19. The Monk / Coltrane album is an absolute must!

Also the recently released Coltrane 2-disc "Live At The Half Note".

[WritingIsMyReligion]

20. Monk and Coltrane live at Carnegie Hall is supposed to be

extraordinary. Album: Theolonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall. THE jazz album of the year, I've heard.

21. The Seatbelts are always good

not all of their music is jazz though.

[helderheid]

23. I have bookmarked my own thread for future holidays!!

:)

Thank you ALL!

24. Kind of an old thematic jazz album by Miles Davis.

Sketches of Spain. It is an oldie but very good and also pretty famous...lol.

[helderheid]

25. welcome to DU! I'm fairly positive he has that one but I'll double check!

:hi:

26. Thank you for the welcome!!!
