A couple days late on this but I didn't see a thread and thought it was necessary. A true original and legend in the world of jazz, he took improvisation to new levels in the late 50s and early 60s with some really groundbreaking, mindbending and creative recordings that was incredibly influential for the avant-garde flavour of jazz. The Shape of Jazz To Come, This Is Our Music, Change of the Century and Free Jazz are strange, daring and fresh sounding in 2015, I can only imagine how insane this shit was back in the day. This stuff completely blew my mind the first time I heard it and, while I certainly understand it going under the radar happening the same day as Dusty and Christopher Lee, this guy is one of my heroes so I didn't want it to go completely forgotten.
