Oh, bill Bruford is the man! I love that guy. I have one staight ahead album he did with Ralph towner and eddie gomez...pretty good! The fusion-y stuff he did with Jeff berlin and alan holdsworth is downright scary!!

Right now, I was listening to NY SLICK by Ron Carter. Interesting album from the late 70's, early 80's. Recorded at Rudy Van gelder's studio (Like a lot of the great atlantic jazz) with absolute clarity. The bass in incredible sounding!

Aside from jazz, I am a big classical head, so I just bought the complete works of Edgar varese. Very cool!

A few weeks back I was playing along with the Mingus CD that has brilliant corners and other fully orchestrated songs like "blue Monk". Awesome!

Recently, I picked up a Bob James album where he plays in a trio with a sound very much like Keith Jarrett. great songs from the writer of "angela" (Taxi Theme)
