If I were you, I wouldn't start with A Love Supreme- it is quite experimental, and may give you a bad impression on what jazz is. For starters, I would start out with Kind Of Blue (kinda obvious) or Birth of the Cool by Miles Davis, Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet and Blue Train or My Favourite Things by John Coltrane. These are all much more listenable, yet are all completely different for each other.

Actually, like this album. "Part 3" is hard to follow, but I gave "Parts 1 & 2" 90's.

As do I, but listening to other jazz albums shows me how many types of jazz there are- some which I prefer. I think you'll probably (possibly?) prefer the more classic genres of jazz- such as cool jazz or bebop. Don't forget the many jazz-rock albums. Have you listened to Chicago by Chicago? I reckon it'll be right up your street.

Well, "A Love Supreme" is at 79 on my chart and 7 on my 60's chart.

Lol, you like it more than I do (I don't care too much for it). You ought to try The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady by Charles Mingus! That is probably my favourite jazz album, though I've not heard much. I'm hoping to listen to a Thelonius Monk album one of these days.

Here are some of my recent listens in a jazz binge I've been having 😄 I recommend all of these.

All first listens within the last week:
