So I added some BeBop, some Cool, and Monk (he is to his own music), just the straight ahead stuff versus the "fusion" kind. It's all good. Some just better than others depending on your taste or mood (my case it's just a mood thing cause I like it all).

and so some more

Duke (small group)



and full orchestra

Im a purist, there are a million musicians out there that can jam along with the Allman Bros, but if you play a basic Parker or Monk tune they wont be able to play a single coherent idea. "real" jazz to me is a complicated science that only gifted or schooled musicians can play. Its very, very hard to even plan lousy jazz.
