10.19.23 | I don't know anything about jazz but 5 is probably the best jazz album I've ever heard |

10.19.23 | i think the beginners guide to jazz should be how to become sophisticated enough to listen to jazz |

10.19.23 | ^ anode is on to something tho. This list is billed as for beginners — is a beginner really going to appreciate, much less enjoy A Love Supreme if it's one of the first jazz albums they listen to? Seems to me like recommending Gorguts to someone brand new to metal. |

10.19.23 | I feel like a beginner guide to jazz would have some jazz from the 30's 40's and 50's........ |

10.19.23 | Thanks, needed that. Whoever gives me a similar guide on classic music without the obvious cuts like four seasons etc. Will earn a huge plus to their karma |

10.19.23 | For as iconic as they are, I'd struggle with 2-5 as a beginner.
Maybe more bop and bebop could be one's smooth lead-in to the jazz universe.
Say some like Donald Byrd, Pyramids, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea |

10.24.23 | I don't know why this stuck in my craw so bad, but I was thinking about it all weekend.... I feel like so many (especially the internet-music-peoples TM) have the start of jazz at like 1960 and with Coltrane and Davis, but fail to conceive that those guys are building off of 30 years of the genre being largely popular. I was thinking that maybe it's because loads of the 30/40/50's jazz has a vocalist and many prefer the medium without one, but many of the most famous composers and artists have loads of music without vocals (Miller, Shaw, Dorsey, Goodman, Ellington, etc.). Building on that, if you're open to vocals, you've got unbelievable artists like Holiday, Waller, Jordan, Fitzgerald, etc. To me, all of these are indispensable artists and occupy the formative decades of the genre and I would argue that a beginner's guide would include at least some....
Sorry to be a whiner, all love |

10.24.23 | I usually recommend folks 60s-80s jazz, cause it's more readily available with better sound and production. Early stuff is mostly too fuzzy.
Plus there is more variety in later recordings |
