"I have no qualms about calling "Free for All" the best jazz song ever." Thu Mar-01-12 09:49 PM by Madvillain 626
Yeah I know I'm rocking Air Hyperboles right now, but Jesus Christ this song is soul crushingly awesome.
It's the one jazz song I would recommend to a rock fan, hip-hop fan, or anyone who doesn't mess with jazz like that. It's so overwhelmingly fierce and emotional, it gets you right in your core.
Art Blakey man...dude was just unreal. Depending on the day, I say either him or Tony Williams are the best drummer of all time.
EDIT: Can't forget to mention how hard Wayne Shorter beasts on this cut. Whoo lawd.
