In the absence of Dan Patrick, I didn't know where to spend my time. I happened on the Pure Jazz channel on Sirius and caught "My Favorite Things" by John Coltrane. Awesome.

I've of course heard of Coltrane but never really heard his music. I've since read where this is one of his more popular releases.

I have always been a fan of popular jazz but not really instrumental "pure" jazz. So, for you jazz snobs out there, where should I direct my interest here. What are some mandatory tracks that I should have next by the various artists?

The only actual jazz I've gotten into has been The Bad Plus.

A good Coltrane CD for a beginner to check out is this one:

The song "In A Sentimental Mood" is my favorite song of his and it also featured Duke Ellington on piano. Actually, the song was written by Ellington. Just beautiful music.

Did 50 Cent's "In Da Club" make the list?

I am a huge fan of Charles Mingus. Ah Um is my favorite of his works. Anything you can find by Charlie Parker, one of the founders of be-bop, will likely be very good, though I particularly like the Spanish import version of Live at Massey Hall, considered one of the great jazz concert albums, as it brings together the great jazz musicians of the mid-century--Parker, Roach, Mingus, Gillespie. If you're not afraid of dissonance, Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz is remarkable. It is stark and spartan in comparison to the lush sound of bop, though.

The Shape Of Jazz To Come is essential. I like New York Is Now as well. I just recently got Sound Grammar and it's stunning that someone pushing 80 years old can make music like that. Stunning.
