    From Canterbury to Jazz wasn't a huge  leap that's how it all started for me back in 75.was also already listening Isotope. Brand x . and Stanley Clarke. 

The first jazz album i really fell in love with was
Journey to Love By Stanley Clarke  and still to this day  it's one  of my all time fav Jazz albums.

	ELP Works Vol.2, although at that time I didn't realize it was jazz .. seriously

	Being a proghead first, many of my earliest "jazz" albums were proggy Jazz-Rock Fusion: Carlos Santana & Mahavishnu John McLaughlin Love Devotion Surrender Jeff Beck Blow by Blow Jean-Luc Ponty Imaginary Voyage Return To Forever Romantic Warrior Al Di Meola Land of the Midnight Sun George Benson Breezin' Weather Report Heavy Weather Gary Burton Crystal Silence Paul Winter Consort Eberhard Weber The Following Morning Keith Jarret The Köln Concert John McLaughlin My Goals Beyond Shakti Natural Elements Chick Corea The Mad Hatter My experience with real jazz began with the viewing of the film 'Round Midnight in 1986, leading to: 'Round Midnight OST Dexter Gordon The Other Side of Round Midnight Dexter Gordon Our Man in Paris The Best of Thelonious Monk Miles Davis Kind of Blue Miles Davis Sketches of Spain John Coltrane My Favorite Things John Coltrane Giant Steps The Greatest Jazz Concert in the World (1975, Pablo Records) Pharoah Sanders Shukuru

	Hi, I think the first things I got was Keith Jarrett as sister was heavily into his early stuff ... sure enough I got the Koln Concert which might have been the first ECM record I got, but I heard at that time through my Australian friends, No Caipira by Gismonti, and the rest was history ... listening to that was like listening to Hiromi the first time ... you go major wow on that ... and then I went after things that were related, and finally got things by Rypdal, which I bought from hearing about a concert in London with him and Ash Ra Tempel ... gosh that would be a major trip!!! After that, I got into Garbarek more since his being with Gismonti on Magico and then I started picking up more Garbarek as his middle period is very experimental and sometimes I am not sure I can call it "jazz" ... Albums to review yet: Egberto Gismonti - No Caipira, Magico, Sanfona Nana Vasconcelos - Duas Voces Eberhard Weber - Gosh don't even know which titles I have! Shankar Return to Forever Live (from 5 or 6 years ago, a tour I saw with my sister ... she loves/loved Chick Corea ... I thought I wanted to see ZPZ ... and they got blown out and looked like a garage band compared to RTF!) Paul Winter Not sure I can do Miles yet ... I love his free form stuff and want to hear the recent recordings out of Europe ... as I like the free form thing a lot more than the generic jazz "song" thing. Very limited in the American Blue Note jazz ... well aware of it and heard a lot of it, but don't own many things at all. BTW, check out the thread on movies with jazz music!!!
