Yeah didn't think so, but I had read somewhere that it was jazz-ish so I figured I'd throw it in the list.


Don't worry. No one's keeping score. Plus it's one of the greater albums of all time and loaded with jazz sensibilities, so worth it anyway.

It was also released on Verve. It's pretty much as close to being a jazz album without being one Laughing Speaking of which, I haven't given it a listen in a few months now. Gotta do that.

Exactly. Another reason genre labeling is flawed.

Solo Monk is also a fantastic jazz record by Thelonius Monk that, as the title suggests, is just Monk flying solo.

I also have a Jazz Chart if you want another perspective on the matter. I could tailor it to you a bit better if I know what specifically you really like in Jazz, but if you want to explore someones opinion then there you go.
