Can´t thank Gang Starr enough for bringing Jazz closer to People who don´t know (including myself). Now i know a few famous artists and already have some Cds by John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Dave Brubeck and a fine Blue Note Sampler. They´re all very dope! Rakim once said he got this flow from listening to John Coltrane. Who ever thought this? Really interesting
