Done. :)

Coltrane playing "My Favorite Thing" live. This performance is so intense. He's blowing so hard on his sax that I'm just expecting it to fall apart in the middle of a solo. Good stuff.

Whoa. I never would have fully appreciated that performance if I hadn't seen the video. Very intense. Makes me tired just from watching.

Lionel Hampton and Stan Getz—"Cherokee"
Beautiful vibraphone cascades from one of the pioneers of the instrument and some sweet sax with the slightest of early rock inflection to it. The piano, bass and drums aren't too shabby either. This is the kind of song that makes me wish I had a cocktail in my hand.

Can't mention vibes without posting one of my favourites. Chet Baker and Wolfgang Lackerschmid.

Bill Evans/Jim Hall - Undercurrent - Bought because the album cover was so cool and as is usually the case, the album lived up to the promise...

I liked it.

It sounded like a scene where a bluesy shady character walking down a dark street or ally way with a hat and a cigarette wondering where he could find faith.

People actually listen to Albert Ayler?

I just thought it was some kind of endurance test.

[QUOTE=Frownland;1210753]I always find myself falling back on my two favourite jazz artists: Ken Vandermark and Albert Ayler.

Here's a six minute version off of Witches and Devils:

Killer track - thanks for posting - I've always been curious about AA. Now I've got an entry point!

Oh my that was fantastic. I'm a sucker for anything that sounds like it belongs in a noir film, and that most definitely does.

I'm fairly new to Ayler, but I like him quite a bit. It's just this crazy and free music that comes from his heart.
