My Top Ten ‘Must Have’ Albums!
- Dippin’ – Hank Mobley. (The song Recado Bossa Nova made jazz and soloing make sense to me).
- Soul station – Hank Mobley. (This is my favourite overall jazz album).
- Culcha Vulcha – Snarky Puppy. (The ultimate ‘stankface generating’/groovy album).
- Face lift – Alice in Chains. (The musical equivalent of being angry and releasing that anger).
- Wasting light – Foo fighters. (My goto album to get my heartrate up or for a workout. Haven’t found any albums that can energize me as much as this one).
- Silk degrees – Boz Scaggs. (Not sure what I could say about this, it feels like a perfect album. Maybe a bit too clean/perfect)?
- Momentum – Joshua Redman Elastic Band. (It took a while before I learned to appreciate the traditional swing in jazz. I eased into that with more groovy albums like this one).
- My songs – Sting (live). (All his best songs, and I feel like Sting is even better in when playing live).
- Bring on the Night – Sting (live). (Same as above, but the added ‘jazz’ just works so well for me).
- Stadium Arcadium – Red Hot Chillie Peppers. (This is first time I experienced the power of songs in the context of a complete album. These songs are reenforced by context of the album).
