7 Stellar Jazz Albums (that are easy on the wallet)

[@mikec8763]

I binge watched every video after one randomly hit my feed (the algorithm knows where your groove lies). This is a real service to those of us who can't afford or simply won't pay $100 for a record no matter how good an investment it might be.
I have some of the records you list usually bought for a dollar or two.
Your knowledge of jazz seems encyclopedic. Can you include a record by artists you think most jazz folk don't know?
Thanks for all you do!

Thank you kindly. There are those WAY more knowledgeable than I on TH-cam (even if I try to be a little more to the point). I just know my labels and am not afraid to take chances! Thanks for checking out my vids

90% of my jazz collection is from the cheap bins and I regret nothing.

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

This is the way

Great obscure stuff thanks! Did not know about Jones brothers love Elvin and Thad

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

Thanks. Obscure is the name of the game. And I didn’t even know they were brothers until recently

The 2 Gabor Szabo CTI albums, Mizrab and The Rambler, are worth giving a listen, cheap as well

[@audioeeze8396]

Thanks for the suggestions. I too are using a Sumiko Moonstone cart.

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

Thanks. I’m a big fan of the Moonstone. Punches above its weight and tracks superbly

[@audioeeze8396]

@@Cheap_Heat_Recs Yes it does. Originally I was using the Ortifon 2m blue, which is a fine cart but I prefer the Moonstone.

Other South African jazz recommendations that are not terribly expensive:
Hugh Masekela - Home Is Where The Music Is (reissued as African Connection)
Winston Mankunku Ngozi - Yakhal Inkomo
Abdullah Ibrahim - Water From an Ancient Well
Dudu Pukwana - Flute Music and In The Townships

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

Thanks for the recs. Will add these to my waitlist 👌

[@twoeyerecords]

I love Hank Jones Groovin High! Found it in a shop for $8 and it is often on the turntable, excellent hard bop session. Hank’s work in The Great Jazz Trio needs to show up in a future video. Cheap 🔥

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

Agreed all around. I’ve been on the lookout for at the village vanguard but it’s been elusive!

[@JazzBums]

Great stuff. That JJ Johnson record is really special. - Chris

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

Thanks, Chris. I’ll take that stamp of approval from a bona fide jazz bum 👍

[@wordslikebugger]

Wonderful video - thank you. Subscribed 👍

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

Thanks - the feedbacks appreciated

[@lamelomaniadejacometheny]

Good video! Many times when I go to record stores, I take cheap jazz records because you often find little-known gems. It helps that some of the sidemans are well-known, or to know the name of some labels like Muse, Xanadu, SteepleChase, Soul Note, which are not so well-known but may have records that may not be "essential jazz classics", but... You can have a good musical time with them. Since the great advantage that jazz has is that it is good and complex music, and it is difficult for me to find jazz records that I consider "garbage" (with some exceptions, obviously). There are simply jazz albums that stand out more than others due to different circumstances.
Thank you for your recommendations and greetings from Mexico! 😸

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

Completely agree. Albums with known players are almost always solid - which is really unlike any other genre and what makes digging for jazz so rewarding. Gracias por ver mi video!

[@lamelomaniadejacometheny]

@@Cheap_Heat_Recs You may come across an album whose leader you don't know, but some of its sidemans do. That helps a lot when choosing a jazz album "blindly"
Gracias por responder a mi comentario. 😸

[@eldude_tom]

that paul horn album look familiar, will have to pick it up if i see it down under. love the makekela album.

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

It sold very well in its day - we trip over copies here in the States at least. Thanks for watching btw

[@1962jet]

Nice feature, thank you. Would like to submit:
--World Saxophone Quartet "plays duke ellington"
--Jackie McLean "Consequence"

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

Thanks for watching and the suggestions. I’ll seek these out for sure!

[@careyatchison1348]

'jettisoned' means to throw away

[@Cheap_Heat_Recs]

The more you know. I always thought it meant more like propelled but that is certainly not the case! Thanks for the correction
