Re: I was gonna email this to devi but sharing is caring. jazz.
I'd have to Add ... ANYTHING by Miles Davis and Thelonius Monk. freestyle Anarchy . Oh and the Great Django Rhienhardt, although he spent a lot of time in the Swing genre. 

If a pedal on my board feels ashamed, it needs to find a new home.

Re: I was gonna email this to devi but sharing is caring. jazz.
I once thought that jazz, much like good, was dumb. But then I heard Bitches Brew, which probably became a Desert Island Classic quicker than anything I have heard before. Now I am quite enjoying the genre, although still a bit casually outside of Miles and Coltrane.
I have decided (within the last 5 seconds) that I want Thelonious Monk to be the next person's discography I dive into. Any recommendation for a starting point? I enjoy fucked up music more than that other kind.

His stuff with Coltrane is great. His song Off Minor and Blue Monk are amongst my favorite.
