Go - Dexter Gordon.
Released in 1962, this is Dexter's finest recording. Go is like the countdown to a rocket launch and Dexter is pretty much the epitome of a cool jazz cat with his style, looks, and playing. It practically evokes the feeling of being in a late night jazz club in New York in the 60's. (AM9)
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis.

This album completely revolutionized the jazz scene in 1965 and even today its influence can be found in many musical styles. Instead of showcasing the complex and dense harmonic post-bebop language he had developed with Davis and Monk, Coltrane plays over simple chords freely with raw spiritual passion. The four songs on this album convey emotions of anger, joy, sadness, ecstasy, tragedy and triumph. Truly Coltrane had come into his own and set the shape of things to come. (AM10)
