I figured this would be useful to those new, intermediate, and semi-pro to Jazz.
This covers Avant/Free Jazz/Free Improv, as well.
I give you, something to look for from the recent past.
Fair Warning:
It has been deemed by RM's resident troll, that I don't know anything about music and my musical posts are worthless.
You now have been fairly warned!
Some of these may be out of print or Satchmo out of print. I would suggest those hatART or hatOLOGY's you can find first, since they're only released as limited editions of 3000 worldwide.
First up the 90's.
