John Coltrane - Crescent & Giant Steps
I have a very modest and quite random jazz collection, maybe a dozen or so records, but the best thing I have by far is a John Coltrane tape with 'Giant Steps' on one side and 'Live at the Village Vanguard Again' on the other. I may even prefer Village Vanguard to Giant Steps actually. Both on that cool cusp of pared-down melodic smoothness with an experimental modal edge- the jazz elements on Pentangle's albums seem to draw from this well, too.
