OK. I've been struggling this past year or so to find something I actually enjoy listening to, with lots of experiments leading to a depressing succession of inspirational cul-de-sacs. Then I got some Cannonball Adderley and, to my utter delight, discovered that I fucking LOVE it.
So, can anyone recommend me some jazz in that hard bop, 50s-60s Blue Note style? I'm a blank canvas on this in that so far I only have maybe three albums that really fit into the category: Adderley's Somethin' Else, Hank Mobeley's No Room for Squares, and Sonny Clarke's Cool Struttin' - oh and Charlie Mingus'. Mingus Ah Um. Anyway, I know this type of jazz doesn't get much of a mention here but if anyone could suggest where I might turn for more I'd be so grateful. Oh, and because I have so little of it, and know even less about it, don't worry about suggesting the obvious - cos it won't be obvious to me.
Cheers, er, daddios.
