Neil Hopkinsn 1959 Miles Davis decided to do something different, moving away from hard bop jazz. He assembled a crew of some of the best musicians around, gave them each a set of scales to improvise around, then lit the metaphorical blue touch paper. The result is like listening to a conversation as music is built up in real time with each player contributing to the piece. Music like this really should be heard live, but this recording is probably as good as it gets.

Marvin's top twenty-ish albums
MarvinOne of the preeminent jazz albums by preeminent jazz musicians. The night I watched the video "Sting: Bring on the Night" [1985?] and was introduced to the power of jazz music, we went to Tower Records in Anaheim and I asked one of the workers, "If I want to buy my first jazz album, what should it be?" This was it.
