And have been digging up everything I can on jazz's roots and history first and foremost.

About two years in and I feel like I've only scratched the surface.

But I've been listening a lot to the great artists of the past, Parker, Davis, Gillespie, Rollins, Coltrane, Young etc...yes it's very cliche, but I can't NOT listen to these guys.

Being late, I'm swamped with all the music I have yet to discover, but it's a daily adventure digging all this stuff up.

I kind of came across free jazz almost by accident and that's when the record screeched.
