I still play "Kind of Blue" album (CD). My kids also like it and we often listen to it when we eat together at the dining table: It is timeless, as is Dave Brubeck's "Time Out". I haven't listened to Charles Mingus or Ornette Coleman though. Too free form for me.
Good one @aposhark ... bass bumpadoodadoodoo still makes the hairs stand up... So What... amazing stuff... unfortunately had to listen to it more often than I would have liked ... "enchanced" with spoon tapping from my father
For those who are not familiar with Miles's masterpiece: (Audio only) Miles Davis "Kind Of Blue" Toe tapping
No but he did like his Jazz... I listened to Kind of Blue and Time Out this week ... they're incredible musicians ... I'll try and get to the other two next week
