So just to throw in my 2 cents, I'll put in a plug for Herbie's Cantaloupe Island -- better known to some as the track sampled by Us 3 in "Cantaloop". It's another great track to ease someone into an appreciation of jazz, as so many '60s Blue Note records are.<BR/><BR/>MarcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
