Les McCann and Eddie Harris Live at Montreaux - Compared to What? is one of the greatest tracks ever laid down.
And I am not talking just jazz - I mean any genre.

I like jazz alot. As a lil boy I was always mesmerized by Billie Holiday's voice when my aunt would play the records. Loved her. I really only know the usual suspects as far as jazz goes tho:

Duke
Dizzy
Louis Amrstrong
Coletrane
Miles
Ella
Billie
Count
Charlie Parker
Thelonius

I like Herbie Hancock too

I also grew up listening to alot of Cuban Jazz and quite a few collbed with the american jazz players

Yes, suckers, post Out to Lunch! for all. What a sweet album that is. "Hat and Beard" is like Ren & Stimpy music.

I love Coltrane, of course, but I think Miles did a better job of Going Experimental than he did. A Love Supreme is great and all but I prefer Giant Steps and My Favorite Things. Never got into Ascension.

Cuban jazz is fun. I like Ray Barretto's stuff.

Ascension is the sound of a panic attack committed to tape. My favorite Coltrane record is A Love Supreme, but My Favorite Things is pretty great, too.

Ray Barretto had a run of brilliant work lasting like twenty years. Guy was a genius.

Most of the current jazz I like is typically Scandinavian in origin. Definitely check out Atomic. It's like updated Joe Harriott arrangements, with that combination of raw power and dazzling musicianship. Unreal stuff.

I kinda consider My Favorite Things just kind of perfunctory. I mean it's good and I like it, just it's pretty straightforward.

I'm kind of a sucker for piano so I have a strong love for Red Garland, Monk and even Jimmy Smith

Phil Upchurch, though maybe he's more soul than jazz. Who cares, he's awesome.

Just picked up Donald Byrd's "Free Form" over the weekend, original pressing, and it might be the greatest record pressing I've ever heard. It just sounds so beautiful, crisp, clear... very good condition.

Couldn't agree more. I've only got a couple of his albums but I think you'd be into this, Doug. Chicago guy, too.

Stumbled on a great Bill Evans album I never knew existed. A bootleg of sorts.

For months I've been trying to tell people about this amazing song I heard on WDCB last fall called "The Lights in the Sky Are Stars" but it was never on youtube. I looked it up today and it was just uploaded yesterday!
