Album recomendations

In the i Pod age of digital downloads geared toward one song at a time, the art of the album may be getting lost. ALthough difficult to distill a top 10 list of albums below are some of the albums I still listen too today, and if they aren't in your audio library they really should be.  If you want to hear and see some of my favorite muscians immediately clcik on my JAM TV link.  

  • Kind of Blue
    by Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Bill Evans

    Miles Davis & John Coltrane a very important piece of music and a must in everyone's audio library.

     
  • Abbey Road
    by The Beatles

    No music slection is complete without something by the Beatles, no matter if one is into their early albums like Please Please Me or Hard Days Night, or their pyschedlic masterpieces like Sgt. Peppers or maybearguablly one of the greatest albums of all time like The While Album they are all treasures.  I will recommend though their last studio Album Abbey Road, as George got to emerge here, and Here Comes the Sun holds a special place in my heart as that was the first song my daughter heard the day she was born.  

     
  • Live and Burning
    by Son Seals

    growing up in Chicago, a city steeped in the Blues Tradition from Muddy Waters to Howlin Wolf to Buudy Guy and the list goes on but Son Seals the "Bad Axe" is probbaly the musician I have seen preform live more than any other in countless smoky venues and late nights in Chicago's Blues Clubs.  This "live" selecation defines the most under rated and powerful musicain I have had the pleasure of listening too and experiencing live. Rest in Peace Sonny!

     
  • Exile On Main Street
