TOP TEN ALBUMS OF 1955


#10




Fats Navarro
"Fats - Bud - Klook - Sonny - Kinney"

This is some early ass jazz. Young guys like Bud Powell, Sonny Stitt, and Kenny Clarke getting early exposure with the help of legend Fats Navarro who had already had a few albums come out. This is straight bebop and exciting bebop at that. Wish I could find a YT video for this but I can not.

#9



Stan Getz
West Coast Jazz

Super chill. Something you can throw on at night while you're talking to friends or your fam without overpowering the conversation. Not really west coast jazz which I think Getz was in on. Album features some standards like "Summertime" and "Night in Tunisia" but that opening track is always what makes me think of Stan Getz. That dripping cool style.
