Ok after listening to the T/T about 10 times through I seem to have a vague understanding of what's happening. He starts off by playing some sort of motif for the rest of the piece, then proceeds to play what sounds like strange arpeggios for a while. It seems to elude being in any sort of key and as soon as I can pick out anything that sounds like a melody in any sort of key, he's seemingly already changed keys and is playing something else.

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out is considered a classic for beginners (hate that definition though), the tracks Blue Rondo a la Turk and Take Five are very famous and catchy and the production is so good.

I need to compile a jazz listen-list on here. There are still many classics I haven't touched yet

Could be a sweet list for people to drop their recs too. Sputnik could use some jazz refresh.

...make a difference in what? I'm just saying I need to make a list for me to keep track of all the jazz classics I need to listen to. And as sabrutin said, others can drop some good recs too. What are you trying to say?

"Sputnik could use some jazz refresh"
I thought you were agreeing with this. My bad, I should have been more clear and quoted both.
