Bebop and jazz I couldn't do without
A Love Supreme [Deluxe Edition]A Love Supreme [Deluxe Edition] by John Coltrane
Buy new: £22.98 / Used from: £8.97
One of those rare things - something everyone says is a classic and really is. Not always easy & if you're new to Coltrane perhaps not the best starting place. It will reward you & never bore you.
Birth of The CoolBirth of The Cool by Miles Davis

Not necessarily the most essential Miles album but wicked tunes nonetheless. Classic & Innovative.
Mingus Ah UmMingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus

Madness & melody, another you won't tire of.
The Fats Navarro Story (4CD)The Fats Navarro Story (4CD) by Fats Navarro

Hugely under rated horn player, an influence on Miles.
Charlie Parker (10cd Box Set) [German Import]Charlie Parker (10cd Box Set) [German Import] by Charlie Parker
Buy new: £18.59 / Used from: £10.00
10 CDs for a tenner....BARGAIN. Contains the beautiful classic 'All the things you are'. Worth the price for that alone.
On the CornerOn the Corner by Miles Davis
Buy used from: £3.99
Miles' attempt to re-connect with Black Youth - you can hear the cocaine & the paranoia seeping out. Awesome.
