more "abrasive" stuff---
the first electric miles period. my favorite is on the corner, but all are swell.
steve lacy--the way, windows, too many others.
thelonius monk---the riverside collection. get it from a library.
ornette coleman--beauty is a rare thing--same deal. these are both huge compilations.
art ensemble of chicago--nice guys, urban bushmen, fanfare for the warriors, stances a sophie---almost everything, actually.
john carter--the whole of the american folk suite--dahweh (spelling?), castles of ghana, ghosts, fields.
eric dolphy--everything--if you have to pick one, start with out to lunch
later coltrane is now vastly underrated--kulu se mama is cool--interstellar space a complete rearrangement of the brain molecules.
mingus, yes--black saint and the sinner lady--excellent stuff.
there is alot of new music that gets stuck under the jazz heading that i could point you at, if you are interested--stuff like the boston sound collective...
stop.
