Yeah, you guys seem to be echoing what I read last night and I guess a bit of what I've heard. Lots of different stuff.

I guess I've got a bit more than I thought, besides Coltrane and Davis, I've also got some Louis Armstrong, Dizzie Gillespie and Duke Ellington and probably some other stuff (Oscar Peterson and Charlie Parker I think). Thanks for the advice. I've got a lot of stuff to check out. I suspect it'll take me a couple of weeks to sort through all of this stuff.

My head's spinning, ragtime, dixieland, swing, bebop, hard bop, cool, modal, free, etc.... I wouldn't know the difference if I was beat over the head with a horn.

Thanks all!
