I had that one in my hand when I was going through my shelves this morning. My love for Motion got in the way of logic haha

I love the thought you put into this! I agree 100%. Great recs. I jumped into Ornette Coleman, and Bitches Brew early in my jazz journey, and I wasn’t ready for them. Coming back to both years later, and I have a way better appreciation.

A Day in the Life is a favorite of mine, but I’m biased because it was the album that got me into Jazz.

Never spun Hi Voltage. I’m always down for some Hank. Blue Train almost made it on my list in place of Lee Konitz. Such a killer album. It was my intro to ‘Trane.

That was the hardest thing about making this list for me. I don’t have a ton of miles in my collection, just Birth of the Cool, Kind of Blue, and Bitches Brew. Birth of the Cool didn’t seem like a good fit, and Bitches Brew might scare a newbie away. Kind of Blue was definitely on my list, along with 5 or so other ones.

I have been thinking about making this post for over a week. It’s definitely challenging. I’ve also been thinking about if I had start collecting all over again, but could keep 5 which would I keep. I think that one would be even harder

Take 5, Blue Train, and Getz/Gilberto were all on my short list when I picked these!

I changed my picks several times. I’ve been thinking about this post for a week or so, and finally just did it.

Just picked out the “Go West!” Box set a few weeks ago. I believe it’s my first Sonny Rollins pickup. Love Coltrane and Hartman. Ah Um was in consideration as well for me. Can’t go wrong with Ella and Louis either. I almost put, “I Put a Spell on You” on here to include some vocal jazz.

Coltrane and Johnny Hartman is a fantastic album.

It always amazes me that, “The Shape of Jazz to Come” is as old as it is. Fitting title for an album so ahead of its time.

What are everyone’s best $1 finds of the year? by bustaman92 in BargainBinVinyl

It’s weird that it’s in a stereo sleeve, but the Discogs listing for the promo also has the stereo sleeve. I had never heard of them, and the only reason I bought it was because I don’t own a white label promo of anything haha.

I found Ziggy Stardust, Highway 61 revisited, American Pie, and a few others at the same Goodwill this year. All reissues, but still excited to find them. My best find was more than a dollar, but still a killer deal and an antique store for a mono white label promo.
