How did you first get into jazz? Was there one album that made it click for you?

also RIP Bobby Hutcherson. Andrew Hill's Judgement was another favorite of mine when I first got into jazz.

I got into jazz when i listened to this and loved it

[Robert Howard]

Miles - Live Evil was the first one I really got into, I was drawn to his electric stuff more then his earlier albums.

I liked some stuff here and there but this one was the first that made me stop, take a few steps back, listen to it carefully and and say "damn, I think I get it now"

I played jazz for a little while just because I was bored in school, but after listening to this I couldn't keep away from it.

I know this one's Sup Forumscore, but the first track made it click for me.

I started playing sax in 6th grade, joined jazz on a whim, never learned how to navigate through a chart, and no teachers redpilled me. High school was kinda fun because we played Mingus. It wasn't until after high school, after I grew to fucking hate jazz, that I met a 16yo sax-piano prodigy and a 25yo jazz-composition Berklee graduate. Although, neither of them redpilled me either. They just made jazz seem nicer than I thought, especially since the older dude was so humble. I loved free jazz at the time and he worshipped Ornette unironically. He started pilling me a little.

After he moved away, I started getting into Charlie Parker, then Coltrane, Miles, Wayne, Art Blakey, and now I'm getting into Alice and Pharoah.

I still suck at playing, but once my jaw heals, I'm hoping to start again. I know my taste is pleb as fuck but whatever.

Whoa. That's a trippy cover of that Shorter tune.
