Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

@SKT thanks for the kind words brother man. I really wish I remembered that teachers name. I remember how it felt to have this person go out of their way to try and connect with me and that feeling has left a life long impression on me. But I moved a lot as a kid and was only at that school a short time. Wish I remembered his name…

@Tago-Mago
Going to try to restrain myself here as it’s difficult to recommend a handful of records from masters like Monk, Tatum, and Peterson. Also dependent on what you’re feeling. @GraemeE has some good reccs, here are my additions:Tatum:
- The Genius of Art Tatum (great overview of his playing and virtuosity).
- Art Tatum & Roy Eldridge Quartet (great example of him playing with other bandmates. Sounds like everyone is trying to keep up with him).
- Art Tatum and Ben Webster (two masters locked in their craft).
Peterson:
- Tenderly (kind of his trademark late-night, wine sipping, wandering thoughts type of piano playing).
- Oscar Peterson+One Clark Terry (you add a trumpet in the mix and it’s pretty much a party. This album oozes the blues).
- Romance (most folks don’t know Peterson had some vocals too which may sound similar to another famous crooner/pianist)
Monk:
- Thelonius in Action Recorded at the Five Spot (taste of Monks unique sound and phrasing, live in all its glory)
- Thelonius Monk Orchestra at Town Hall ( a bit more digestible. You see Monks range here with a bigger band and again, all live)
- Thelonius Alone in San Francisco ( my personal favorite solo Monk record)
