It is such an overwhelming question that it tends to strike most people into near muteness, but it is a good question anyway.

I’m a newby jazz guy. Made some nice vinyl purchases over the last three years to build a decent collection. Donald Byrd is a favorite for me so far.

Coming from a mostly rock oriented background, Byrd seems to draw me into avant-garde jazz in an inviting way.

These opinions are mostly biased toward bebop and later. After jazz mostly lost its way.

... and Rock lost its way after Elvis, I suppose. . .
