05.11.15 | To be fair I don't know much either, but Grant Green - Idle Moments is a fantastic album, particularly the title track. |
Dodenakker
05.11.15 | You should listen to Bitches Brew too. Miles Davis is a god though. But I like Bitches Brew the most. |

05.11.15 | free jazz / avant-garde jazz are definitely not entry level
start with some of the basics
bill evans - explorations
miles davis - in a silent way
art blakey - moanin
pharaoh sanders - karma (similar to love supreme if you dug that)
chet baker - chet baker sings
stan getz - getz/gilberto
oscar peterson - night train
herbie hancock - headhunter |

05.11.15 | I love avant-garde jazz but it might be a bit too much to understand most of it for a complete beginner |
