miles davis. kind of blue is perfect music. blue moods, sketches of spain, workin, relaxin’, ESP, and birth of the cool also all great. he didn’t miss much
john coltrane. of course a love supreme. but ballads, giant steps, africa/brass, crescent, blue trane, soul trane, and coltrane’s sound all great too
