Hugh Masekela- If There’s Anybody Out There (Masekela, 1969)

I’ve always loved that on the back of this lp, it says:

“The music contained herein speaks for itself. Nothing more need be added. All there remains to do is to do.”

If you were to list the top ten essential jazz albums from the 1950's, what would they be?

The 50s were such a landmark decade for jazz. Kinda hard to pick 10. However….

1. Birth of the Cool. Miles Davis2. Saxophone Collosus - Sonny Rollins3. Tijuana Moods - Charles Mingus4. Sarah Vaughn - Sarah Vaughn5. Horace Silver: and the Jazz Messengers. 6. Miles Davis: Kind of Blue 7. John Coltrane - Blue Train8. Modern Jazz Quartet - Django9. Art Blakey - Moanin’10. Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to come

There could have been no fewer than 10 more albums I could have added to this list. But these are my choices.

Peace.

Midnight Blue by Kenny Burrell - One of the greats of jazz guitar, the title track from this album brings all of the best of his bluesy jazz sound to the table.

Another favorite of this wonderful album from 1975, unfindable in its original release, unless you are ready to pay hundreds of euros. It has been recently reissued by Far Out, an english label and by Polysom in Brazil at a much friendly price.
