I've always found live jazz records to have a special intangible quality like the music is directed upwards to another realm rather than an error-free take. Hearing musicians go for ideas and concepts before they're fully developed can also give insight into the mind of a musician in a way that a polished recording session can hide. Thanks for turning me on to this.
Yay!!!

My favorite example of Jones’s propulsive, thrashing and crashing dynamism is Coltrane’s Afro Blue.
