I like more experimental jazz stuff...like Andrew D'Angelo.
I mean, Mingus and Davis are all, like, frickin' amazing and stuff-- you just hear them so much, and it's nice to hear people just do whatever their brains are thinking at the moment.

Yea...that's kind of where I was hopin' this would go. Free Jazz is some incredibly mind-bending stuff. I like to listen to Sun Ra a lot. That kind of stuff makes most people clear the room but I rally dig it. Some of Trane's major works, like Ascension, are just incredible too.

You should check out Cannonball Adderly's Bossa Nova album. It's pretty hot.

I can understand the "clear the room" thing... There are sections of blues that do that to my friends, too. Like Seasick Steve.

But, Sun Ra = excellence. Just sayin.
