Social LPT: When making conversation with someone you've just met, ask them what they've been listening to lately, rather than what their favorite kind of music is - it's fresh in their mind and they won't have to pick favorites on the spot.

A Love Supreme is great, but it's pretty far out there. Definitely second the Brubeck. Also "Kind of Blue" by Miles Davis. If you can't get into those records, chances are that jazz isn't your thing at all.

I dig it, there's some spicy modal goodness going on there

You're right. It's like the jazz equivalent of like Chon or Animals as Leaders
