Vintage Mid-Century Jazz, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk Vinyl Recordings


I don't what to call myself but I am freaking nuts over Jazz after the big band era until the mid seventies and old blues. It's not that I don't love the early Jazz of the twenties, the big bands or some, and I say some more modern jazz. I am just freaking in love with a certain period of Jazz and the shitty part is most of these artists are dead or in a old folks home. It all started with So What on Mile "Kind of Blue" and the crazy part is I just don't remember the moment. I have been collecting original vinyl and have hundreds and hundreds of recording which are now the cornerstone of comfort in a difficult time. I get lost in them, and then find myself on the other side. Why Vinyl, why this period and not fusion jazz and CD or digital? It's clear by the sound the my vintage minds and period of the beginning of the musical experience for me started with records.

It's been a sad day and this Miles Davis is helping me.
