QUOTE=spring hall convert;6122074]I was hoping someone would start one of these threads on jazz, I'm desperate to get a bit more with it. I've been slowly working my way through most of the jazz classics in recent years. Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, Pharoah Saunders...
Oliver Nelson was a top notch jazz composer, and with a ridiculously strong line up he put out the classic album The Blues and the Abstract Truth in 1961. The track Stolen Moments is something else though: one of the pinnacles of jazz imo.
