I am absolutely a jazz novice--I love jazz but don't know much about it. I dig Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Thelonious Monk, and would appreciate any recs based on that.

I'm sure that's the equivalent of going into a rock thread and saying "I love The Rolling Stones, the Who, and Led Zeppelin, give me some recs" but I don't have any better frame of reference.

For whatever it's worth, I have tried listening to Herbie Hancock's Headhunters and despite the critical acclaim I absolutely do not get it, if that helps to refine my tastes any.

New or old artists, do not care!

some of my (more) accessible faves that haven't been mentioned:

Pharoah Sanders – Karma (or basically any 60s-70s Pharoah)
Sun Ra – Lanquidity
Donald Byrd – Ethiopian Knights
Alice Coltrane – Journey in Satchidananda
Charles Mingus – The Black Saint and the Lady Sinner
Cortex – Troupeau Bleu
Sons of Kemet – Your Queen is a Reptile
Gato Barbieri – Chapter One: Latin America
The Ramsey Lewis Trio – The In Crowd (RIP RL)
Don Cherry – Don Cherry
Philip Cohran & The Artistic Heritage Ensemble – On The Beach
Lonnie Liston Smith – Cosmic Funk
Joe McPhee – Nation Time

Thanks for the recommendations! Ive liked most of them so far.

It seems what I was originally looking for is the free-form improv. Which kind of now has me wondering if there are any bands that play jazz style but with heavy distortions and effects? Unless that goes against the jazz sound entirely. I'm new and dumb at jazz.

maybe miles' Pangaea/Agharta/Dark Magus live trilogy

coltrane's last live recording might be up your alley too, recorded in a gym and sounds like poo poo (but imo in a good way, tho i think some hate it), the 2 times throughout these 35 minutes the favorite things melody is played in full are 2 of my favorite moments music, especially the first one pharaoh does and john comes in like a banshee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjDrkTmqxQk&t=603s

also zorn, comet is coming, and neptunian maximalism per prior posters

ty, very good. That like a bootleg, or just out of print and never reissued?
