It's like the jazz version of a coffee enema
That is a KILLER record. One of my favourites recordings. A great way to get into Jazz.

Yeah...it seems like good recordings from that era were a dime a dozen, these days it's a total crapshoot.

I also agree with the other poster who mentioned Dave brubeck's Take Five...that's probably the easiest way to get a taste for the music

Cannonball Adderly - Mercy Mercy Mercy would be another great choice for a more soul jazz vibe

Jimmy Smith - The Sermon, I'm going off my head here :P

I'm trying to get a hold of the double live album produced when they were just the Art Blakey Quartet.. I think its A Night at Birdland.
