One of the "counselors" where I lived had a whole collection of Miles and Coltrane and Monk.

Used to play them on the phono for those ready to listen......

Changed my life.

Miles:

"Salt peanuts",

Well you needn't"

Coltrane:

A Love Supreme -

Kulu Se Mama

And then my personal hero - Thelonious Monk.

Anything he ever wrote or performed.......

In fact I am listening to Epistrophy, right now.....
