agree strongly.... I feel my early exposure to Dave Brubeck set the stage for being  later being a prog fan.  Insane (and groundbreaking for 1959) metric complexity... exotic musical influences.... brilliant musicians and timeless music.

really... lack or opportunity (time) or lack of interest..... strongly recommend (as a fellow prog fan) the Stan Kenton album I mentioned above.. and of course what I call the first modern prog album Dave Brubeck's Time Out.  and as a music fan I also strongly recommend Mile Davis Kind Of Blue.

I don't like jazz-fusion. It bores me.
 


Billie Holiday!!!!... now you are talking....  if I had a dime for every brain cell  I killed in college 'seeking divine inspiration' to her albums....  Such passion in her voice.  Good call.

Clap I often say that Kind of Blue is one of those handful of jazz albums that should be in EVERYONE'S album collection.  It's one of what I call the '2x4' albums.  An album that upon the first listen.... leaves an impression comparible to taking a 2x4 to the jaw.


Excellent comparison there! LOL

Improvisation and music itself would never be the same afterwards.

Is anyone a Wayne Shorter fan? In my opinion, he has really incredibly abilities as a jazz composer, as well as a sax player.


hahahha Thanks... strangely enough it was Il Balletto di Bronzo's album YS that made me think of the comparison.  That album knocked me on my ass on the first listen.... still does when I put it on.

must admit to not knowing much about Wayne Shorter.....

was raised on The Dave Brubeck Quartet.... love jazz.  Big Monk and Coltraine fan.   Any jazz fans/prog fans here heard Stan Kenton's 1962 album... Adventures in Time (A Concerto for Orchestra)..... wow.


I'm a 95% prog listener.... but if it's not prog.... it's jazz or classical.
