Blue Train

From the very first moment of the the title track, it's very easy to see why this is one of the most highly regarded albums in the world of hard bop and jazz as a whole. It's exciting, it's complex, it's atmospheric, it's emotive, it's got everything a truly great jazz album should have, all performed by a group of insanely talented musicians lead by one of the best saxophonists the world has ever seen.
