Its got lovely playing on harp and piano and a very nice blues track.
She was seriously-overshadowed by her late husband. All of her albums are quite good, with a few truly-amazing pieces among them. Her music definitely tended toward a lighter, dreamy side of jazz.

No one mentioned Archie Shepp yet? One of my all time favourite albums is "Blase" (incidentally also one of the key early forerunners of rap/hiphop, as was his later Attica Blues)

Many of my favourites are already mentioned but I'll add:

Marion Brown - Afternoon of a Georgia Faun
Archie Shepp - Yasmina a Black Woman, Black Gypsy, Attica Blues (and the aforementioned Blase) plus many more - Shepp is a god
Mingus - The black saint and the sinner lady
Joni Mitchell - Mingus
Paul Bley and Annette Peacock - Dual Unity (very early electronic experimental jazz)
Dollar Brand - African Dawn, Duke's memories and various others
Miles Davis - Circle in the Round (great live album)

Oliver Nelson "Blues and the abstract truth'
Kenny Burrell 'Midnight Blue'
Charlie Byrd 'Blues Sonata'

In fact, anything with 'blue' in the title, come to think of it...

... she's the greatest to me :love:

I hesitated including "I have no feelings" in my list,
but I didn't because that music defies classification ...

Finally, another Peacock fan - she is so underrated as a musician and as one of the pioneers of electronic music (and much more)
