I'm glad there's someone else on this forum who likes jazz.
Liking jazz is very much a recent development for me. I mean, I've always been quite happy to listen to stuff from the easier end of the spectrum, but now I'm "discovering" stuff like John Coltrane and Charles Mingus.
I'll definitely give Stomp a go. Sounds interesting.
There's a ten-part series on the history of jazz that started on PBS on Saturday. Narrated by Wynton Marsalis, apparently. Haven't started watching it yet but I've got the first four parts recorded. Might be interesting.
I like Radio 3 very much, though there's too much singing for my taste.
d. I've just seen your post. That was an incredible year for jazz: Brubeck's Time Out, Miles Davis's Kind Of Blue, Ornette Coleman's Shape Of Jazz To Come, Mingus's Mingus Ah Um (from which your track) all released in 1959. Have you got all of these? They are all still available. Kind Of Blue has never been out of print.
Haven't got recordings of any of them (yet!) but have been listening to a lot of the stuff you mention at my desk at work via YouTube (and finding it does wonders for my mood). Mingus is the one who's really grabbed my attention so far.
