I played Our Man in Jazz first, and, not having listened to much jazz before this, I felt lost - I just couldn't hear what was going on. I was a little depressed because I thought that maybe I just wouldn't be able to "get" contemporary jazz. Then I played the Mingus and it grabbed me on my first listen - still does, after many listens. It took a few listens to the Rollins to hear what was happening (at least some of what was happening) and that's become a favorite also. Quote
