Love those Dex Blue Notes! GO, Our Man in Paris, etc. GO in particular is a jazz classic that puts his powerful tone, funny musical allusions, ballad mastery, and interesting tune choice on display.

Empyrean Isles, recorded a year earlier with the same band, minus Coleman, is a nice complement to it.

One of the VERY few performers I would still pay to see.

All of Bill Evans's recordings with the LaFaro and Motian lineup were classics. I could listen to these recordings all day, all night and never tire of them.

Inventions and Dimensions (also known as Succotash) is a great album.  ALthough I also like the 60's sessions where Hancock's composing and arranging skills are highlighted, this was more of a "blowing session".  ALthough the second "side" of the album was weaker, IMO, the first two tracks are incredible, and I love the combination of keyboard soloing a a dense percussion scheme.

A great record.  When it first came out I played it non-stop for probably two weeks.  I got the "complete sessions" set last year and have let that play for long periods of time as well.

Great record, indeed, it's also a favourite of mine. Playing it loudly fits this music. It would be nice if this kind of music gets a revival in our time.

Great record - the Ornette that fascinates me most is Golden Circle (both volumes) but some of the tunes on the first Atlantic LP are beyond comparison.

Any recommendations on Count Basie albums?  Two or three of the best with his big band (instrumental, not backing a singer), though I don't mind some small session stuff thrown in, too.  I also wouldn't object to a box set if the price was reasonable and it was a manageable quantity of discs (say, five or less).
