another probably markedly less avant-garde but still absolutely lovely one, is the meets Lee Konitz album.

The western suite, the trio with jim hall, the easy way, lee konitz meets jimmy giuffre - you can't go wrong with any of them imo

I saw Jazz on a Summer's Day for the second time last week, and then posted on Facebook how much I loved "The Train and the River" over the opening credits. Sounds like Henry Flynt at the beginning!

The Penguin Guide authors were huge fans of Free Fall, which wound up being my introduction. Great album that deserves to be heard by far more people.

I actually vaguely remember that, although I never liked it as much as the records with Jim Hall

loads of those late period albums with Paul Bley have got to be worth checking out.

I slightly prefer the two previous albs by the drumerless trio, Fusion and Thesis, but that may be just because of the way that ECM repackaged them:

"Carla" off that one is such a vibe

Happy coincidence - just came across this cool feature about Giuffre in the New York Times (love the way they say 'Mr Coleman', Mr Bley', 'Mr Swallow' etc) from a few years ago - great photo from 1961 too

Train and the River is def one of the highlights of that film for me, along with the Chico Hamilton performance and the Gerry Mulligan performance. Really it makes a pretty good case over all for "Cool" school jazz, which was sort of avoided in jazz education at the time I was studying.
