I don't much like 'jazz', but I do like Miles Davis's early 70's stuff, as it doesn't sound to me like 'jazz' and it's really interesting music to me. Much of it reminds me of Grateful Dead space jams (and I've seen Branford Marsalis and Ornette Coleman jam with the GD a few times in Oakland). I got that Vinyl Me Please box set of 'Miles Davis - The Electric Years', and that is perfect for me. Herbie Hancock's 'Crossings' is like that too; doesn't sound like 'jazz', just 'music'.
Kind of Blue
This was the first Jazz CD I ever owned. I currently have over 200 Jazz CDs and Kind of Blue is still #1 on my list.
What are your favs?

@simonmoon - Miles did not like the term 'jazz', at least for this; as he said, it's 'music'. |
