@ndreasa @LadyGulag Ashamed to say I have a pretty limited knowledge of jazz and am coming to it rather late, but how lovely to still be able to discover something so rewarding.
@LadyGulag @ndreasa This just gets better and better - thanks so much for the recommends. I may dedicate the whole of Sunday to listening to these via Spotify.

I still remember hearing my mum play this when I was 6 years old. My first Jazz recollection and the start of a long and beautiful meandering journey.

@LadyGulag it was the first jazz album I bought too, remember sitting on my bed counting beats. "Far More Drums" is quite a challenge.

@AlicejustMay @LadyGulag I'll just throw in Keith Jarrett - Belonging too, it might be my all time favourite record.

@ndreasa I adore his first Köln Concert record for ECM. Masterpiece of solo piano.

@AlicejustMay @LadyGulag Unfortunately ECM (Jarrett's label for most of his life) removed their entire catalogue from Spotify. Here's the Köln concert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU7ZuVZHqTk And here's a couple of great tracks from Belonging: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDELnqIsnfQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXpPlBFGG_Q Perfect Sunday music :)
