there's a lot of it, and a lot of variety!

it took me years to "get" ornette .. always seemed a bit "cerebral" compared to the fierier coltrane/ayler stuff that was my gateway to jazz ... bloody love him now (altho there's loads of his stuff i haven't heard)

try the 2 "live a the golden circle" recs for lovely 60s trio feel - theyr'e ones - return to again + again

"dancing in your head" is a great one for messed up near-funk ... some wild stuff w/ master musicians of joujouka on there

i love "science fiction" - real mixed bag on there .. .vocals too

i've been recently jamming some dubs a friend gave me of "the empty foxhole" (w/ his 10 year old son on drums!) + a early Prime Time live LP + they're both great

"free jazz" is a blast too, but not one of my faves ... you can get a load of his old recs on CD for a fiver or less on amazon - dip in to the 60s ones that are cheap there i say

do you have the song "lonely woman" in yr collection yet? if not, it's a must
