4. I'm not a jazz-o-phile, but a family friend owns an indie jazz (and 'free' jazz)

label out of NYC: http://espdisk.com/official/

Check them out; the owner is a cool, very liberal guy.

8. Best Miles album to me

This thing is quintessential.

10. Mingus - anything with the Red Norvo Trio - the older ones, with Red Norvo

Edited on Tue Aug-11-09 10:56 AM by old mark

on vibes and Tal Farlow on guitar...One of my favorite albums of any kind.
You will never hear anything like it, really superb creative musicians having a great time.

Trane ; any of the live albums...

Miles - 2 - Early one called Sketches of Spain, and then of course, Bitches Brew.
