Kind of Blue

Appreciate everyone’s recommendations!

@mahgister Always enjoy you sharing your experiences and music suggestions!

@tostadosunidos Crystal Silence is a classic!

I will add the French jazz pianist Claude Bolling as one of my favorite musicians.

I like "Kind of Blue" but I do have a  few Jazz Albums that I like better,  including:

Olu Dara, In the World: From Natchez to New York

Julius Hemphill - Dogon A.D.

Abdullah Ibrahim - Yarona

Johnny Dyani - Angolian Cry

Macy Grey - Stripped

The Olu Dara recording just makes me smile.

Like most of what is posted here.  For reference I prefer music from instruments that don't plug into the wall, that you can actually hear the lyrics and that one does not jump up and down to listen to.  That said, guitar is a favorite and Joe Pass wasn't mentioned. Great talent like Jim Hall.
