Jazz?

Just came across a couple of my favorite jazz records which I haven't heard in ages due to my hard drive's most recent implosion.



1. Miles Davis - On The Corner (1972)

This record just sounds like you're boppin' around in 1970s Harlem (or somewhere equally as slick) running into clubs, tasting a minute of their offerings, and bouncing back out to the next venue. All about John McLaughlin, Chick Corea, and Herbie Hancock groovin' to their hearts' content. Great messy contemplation music.



2. Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959)

First jazz album I ever gained an enormous appreciation for. This is a studying record, one to lay in the background and hit you more often than you'd expect. Often referred to as the first avant-garde jazz record. The difference between 1959 and 1972? The Ornette Coleman record features four musicians. FOUR. The Miles record? Twenty musicians. Ayo Technology.
