amazing how may Coltrane lovers out there SUNship has got to be my fav, studio album...
but seriously diggity
that Antibes shit from '65 is the bee's knees
I have some of that on vinyl and CD

I also love Eric Dolphy esp. some of the stuff he recorded with Mingus...

How about Miles Davis anybody like Bitches Brew ..one good fusion, elec. jazz album w.
Zawinul and Hancock on the keys...

how about Pharoah Sanders I think Tauhid was a ground breaking album for that hard-free jazz sound. Pharoah has some amazing guitarist on there too.
Pharoah is so lyrical in his tone...

For Thelonius Monk check out his later Black lion releases... truly awesome shows his skills were there even when his mind wasn't
