Saxon's first album - they were in the First Wave of British Heavy Metal along with Iron Maiden and Def Leppard. Good album.
Today I'm starting with Duke Ellington's Money Jungle. It's like a supergroup, with him, Charles Mingus and Max Roach.

YouTUBE - Maynard Ferguson, live in a nightclub in 1975. Awesome, although the sound quality could be better. The bass sounds like it's in a box most of the time. He's really good too. This is a great example of a "stage band."
YouTUBE - Stanley Clarke concert from 1979. Much more rock-sounding than I'd expected. It's all a bit much, really. "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" with a blaring horn section.... YouTUBE - Marine Band playing Holst's Jupiter. Perfect. Audio - Holst's Suites 1 & 2 for Military Band. We need to play these again. AUDIO:
Montrose - Top Ten on Spotify. Classic rock. Good guitar riffs, Sammy Hagar's great voice. Grateful Dead - 1975 rehearsals. Seems like I hear some reggae influence. Lazy Lightning in 7/4! Enjoyable and good to work with. VIDEO: Kamasi Washington 'The Epic' Live Video

I'm going to try to keep track of what I'm listening to during this time. Maybe I'll include links. Maybe not.
