Well, I only have Kind of Blue and Bitches Brew. I'm liking Kob better than BB.
Bitches is probably a grower though. -------------

Tribute to JJ is the best. Not a big fan of Britches Brew, it's just a little bit too up itself. Kind of Blue comes in at number 2, and I don't really know the others well enough to rank them. |

Mine's pretty identical. I might swap the excellent Nefertiti for either Filles de Kilimanjaro or the hugely underappreciated Water Babies, though. -------------

1. Round About Midnight 2. Kind Of Blue 3. Friday and Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk, Complete 4. Relaxin' 5. Birth of the Cool Something like that. It's not a definitive list by any means though. As you can see I prefer the pure jazz era to fusion. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

I own Kind of Blue and a disc called The Birth of Cool, but they kind of put me to sleep. I genuinely respect jazz, but I just don't get it. I've heard some of Bitches Brew and that was better, but is there an album a rock-based dude like me should pick up? ------------- It's funny how the colors of the real world only seem really real when you viddy them on the screen. |
