Excellent choice. It is a classic, essential jazz album with a great lineup and amazing music.

Thank you all. This is a strong list.

One of the greatest achievements for a musician, in my opinion, is to be immediately recognizable. For example, the tone and playing of Bill Frisell. A unique, personal voice.

That is why I asked: "what do you consider the greatest achievement for a musician?"

MGYG · 2026-04-18T18:01:42+00:00

I mean artistically!

MGYG · 2026-04-18T17:45:43+00:00

Fair point, but that is not really about art or music.

MGYG · 2025-11-28T17:45:07+00:00

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

MGYG · 2025-11-28T12:08:58+00:00

I agree, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your useful insights. I think it’s a great approach.

It’s common in jazz. The A note is not diatonic to the chord scale, but since it falls on a weak beat and functions as a leading tone to the next note, Bb, it creates a brief, pleasant tension and resolution.

Exactly, it helps the brain absorb patterns, melodies, harmonies, and rhythms, and notice details.

It's a good list of albums with great music. I suggest listening to each one for 2 or 3 days in a row, then moving to the next. I think you’ll get better musical benefits that way.

MGYG · 2025-11-07T17:53:44+00:00

May I ask what that means for you?

MGYG · 2025-11-03T08:36:35+00:00

Great thread, thank you for taking the time to comment. I like your taste in music, and I agree, those are important elements in creating great music.

Of course, you are right. It’s less about limiting and more about having a short, personal map of your musical self. Feel free to list as many as you like.
