Help me build up a jazz album collection. Can you suggest a must have album?
I’m assuming you will listen a bit on YouTube before buying someone we recommend, because something like Miles Davis, Bitches Brew is important, but not the 1st Miles Davis you should experience, that is after you know more about him and his music...
