Comment:

I always find jazz mixes hard to visualize since every take and/or performance can vary so greatly. Which is why I hestitate to post this, but regardless...an intermediate starter kit of my favorite transcendental moments, without venturing too far out.

Wow. Excellent beyond existing descriptive terminology. Coltrane track is certainly one of my favourite performances by the early quartet and the Ellington is simply the greatest live recording ever (in my microcosmos). I woulda found room for a little Bechet, but this ain't my tape, so what the hell am I talking about anyway.
