1Everybody Digs Bill EvansBill Evans
Everybody Digs Bill Evans
An early peak of lyrical piano trio work. Beautiful and acclaimed. A cornerstone.
-
2Lady in SatinBillie Holiday
Lady in Satin
A devastating late-career record of frayed voice and deep feeling, backed by strings. Raw and moving. A poignant landmark.
-
3Somethin' ElseCannonball Adderley
Somethin' Else
A relaxed, blue hard-bop session featuring Miles Davis, anchored by a gorgeous 'Autumn Leaves'. Cool and assured. A Blue Note favourite.
-
4Blue TrainJohn Coltrane
Blue Train
Coltrane's lone Blue Note session as leader, hard-bop perfection with a stellar sextet. Tuneful and accessible, it is one of the easiest classic-jazz entry points. A reliably great listen.

5MilestonesMiles Davis
Milestones
A pivotal modal-leaning hard-bop peak with the first great quintet expanded. Swinging and assured. A bridge to Kind of Blue.
