Not a classic but one of the greatest tunes ever recorded in my humble opinion.

Always had a love/hate relationship with Herbie. I love the earlier Blue Note stuff, of course, but was never crazy about the funk and electro paths he took. Just not my style. But I really liked his initiative in the mid 90's when he tried to usher a new generation of standards to play. His whole thing was "Srsly, how many times are we going to play 'Take the A Train?'" He was playing Nirvana and Cure songs, and they kinda worked.
In any case, he was on "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" on NPR about a year ago. Really interesting if you can track it down. He was talking about how bizarre it was when "Rockit" took off, and how all the breakdancers were popping to it. Defintely a guy who's been around.

I love "My little suede shoes" by Charlie Parker. For years I would whistle the tune and couldn't remember where it was from... I actually thought for a while that it was a tune I'D come up with and stuck! Hahaha. That's the mark of a great jazz tune: Fun to listen to, virtuosic performance and a melody that follows you for years.

- not really your typical jazz though. but you'll get the feel for it after a while. and then like black metal.
dasohr - I do love me some Zorn with Naked City or Painkiller. Better rage sublimation than any metal out there.harlequino

Strictly speaking, not a 'classic' album. But it's my favorite album of all time hands down and it's a bit o' genius.
"Weird Nightmare: Meditations on Migus" is reinterpretations of Charles Mingus' music by a number of musicians. They utilize instruments built by Harry Partch (an American composer who rejected 12 tone diatonic systems and created his own micro tonal systems). Absolutely stunning and epic. Also features cameos by Elvis Costello, Chuck D, Henry Rollins, Dr. John, and more.- THAT was an amazing album I once had... miss it...vaxorcist
