Or, really, any Jazz.
That plug has never found a socket, even though I've tried for years to find the opening. I've got albums by Satch, Bird, Chet Baker, Dizzy, Anita Baker...I own "Kind of Blue"

Nothing. The closest I've come is Ellington at Newport, which I really like, but I have a suspicion that that album skates dangerously close to 'Jazz for beginners' because of the way it swings.

I suppose, like Dylan, or Neil Young, you either get it or you don't.

I love Steely Dan, especially Aja, so I know that there is something in me that understands the precision and the arrangements of masterful works, but when I really need music, I'm heading straight for the blues, not to the jazz.....
