[Tron]

It is always a good idea to plug a couple of your favorite songs into Pandora and work from there.

Might be tough to find, but the Jazz Messengers album by Art Blakey (and his Jazz Messengers) is AWESOME...

[Roy Munson]

Another great Art Blakey album is "Live at Birdland" with the great Clifford Brown on trumpet and Horace Silver playing piano.

Oh just remember Art Tatum, how could i forget him?! [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Other great Miles albums are "Birth of the Cool", "Miles Away", "Around Midnight" and "Sketches of Spain".

"Birth of the Cool" included a nine piece band that plays so nimbly it sounds like a much smaller group. Max Roach's drumming on this record stands out.

Some don't feel that "Sketches of Spain" does not qualify as a jazz album. Be that as it may it is still a stunning work.
"Concierto de Aranjuez" is just a brilliant piece of music.

"Around Midnight" contains Coltrane's first recorded work with Miles. If you can find this in the 2 CD format get it.
