Beyond the Missouri Sky

Beyond the Missouri Sky (Short Stories) is a jazz album by bassist Charlie Haden and guitarist Pat Metheny that won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance.

我大學的時候買的一張唱片，好像是在討厭的西洋史課翹課去買的，為什麼買忘了，可能是因為是葛萊美獎最佳爵士專輯，也可能是因為裡面有很多喜歡的電影配樂，特別是新天堂樂園，無論是主旋律或副旋律都蠻耳熟能詳的。

封面也很漂亮

今天發現YT上居然有這張專輯的全部，真是太神奇了。

爵士聽得不多，不過在買這張唱片的那一陣子聽了一些爵士。

還有ECM時代的Keith Jarret

Tender is the night on what is, perhaps, Keith Jarrett's most intimate album. It is comprised of solo piano renderings of jazz ballads and folk songs, recorded at home and played with unmistakable affection. Jarrett dispenses with the jazz soloist's conventional emphasis on dexterity, the 'clever' phrase, the virtuosic sleight-of-hand. Instead he strips these songs to their melodic essence and, gently, lays bare their emotional core.

Mile Davis, Kind of Blue has been regarded by many critics as the greatest jazz record, Davis's masterpiece, and one of the best albums of all time. Its influence on music, including jazz, rock, and classical genres, has led writers to also deem it one of the most influential albums ever recorded. The album was one of fifty recordings chosen in 2002 by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry, and in 2003 it was ranked number 12 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

跟 Bill Evans的 Conversation With Myself, 

Recording with Glenn Gould's piano, CD 318, at studio sessions on February 6 and 9, and May 20, 1963, Evans used the then controversial method of overdubbing three different yet corresponding piano tracks for each song. The album features mostly traditional pop standards. Alongside these are three compositions by Thelonious Monk, and one Evans original, "N.Y.C.'s No Lark", commemorating Evans' friend and fellow jazz pianist Sonny Clark, who died one month before Evans began work on the album.

一張1963年錄製的專輯，1964 也是得到最佳葛萊美獎的爵士專輯。

好像都是因為去了一家很小的似乎在現在的東門站附近的音樂行開始的，那家唱片叫2.31，兩個31歲的男老闆，賣很多alternatives 跟其他。
