I want to know about what you think is under-rated jazz. Mainstream stuff is super, but I'm finding some of the less well-known albums have some super stuff in em....
Here are some albums I've found that I love yet don't seem to find much info on:
Blues And The Abstract Truth - Oliver Nelson
A Tribute To Jack Johnson - Miles Davis
Unit Structures - Cecil Taylor
Soul Station - Hank Mobley
Stellar Regions - John Coltrane
The Awakening - Ahmad Jamal
That's off the top of my head........if I think about it more, I'll remember some more super albums......
I was also wondering - does anyone have any opinions on Herbie Nichols? I hear him play as basically a more intellectual Monk - there's just as much soul but more intricacy.....and that's saying something, since Monk was a genius amongst geniuses....
