    Memorable jazz lessons...
    1. Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Live in Stockholm (Night In Tunisia
    can *burn* at bop tempo)
    2. Wayne Shorter - Adam's Apple (minimalism is good)
    3. Jaco Pastorius - Solo Live (*all* instruments are melodic instruments)
    4. Wes Montgomery - The Incredible Jazz Guitar of (lyrical phrasing)
    5. John Coltrane - Giant Steps ('coltrane changes' are hard to get under
    your fingers)
    6. Jaco Pastorius - Word of Mouth (a personal definition of the 'big band'
    sound)
