13 tracks, a baker's dozen of selections that flow into one another smoothly.

So often with places to stream songs and "if-you-liked-that-song-here-are-30-more" this one wanders through a spectrum of emotions and flavors.

Agreed. I have 'The Shape of Jazz to Come' and 'Free Jazz' on vinyl. Other albums I enjoy from that era are Eric Dolphy 'Live at the Five Spot, Vol. 1 & 2' and 'Out to Lunch', Thelonious Monk at Town Hall, John Coltrane's entire catalog, Dave Brubeck 'Time Out', Charles Mingus 'Mingus Ah Um', Miles Davis 'Kind of Blue'.

If your library offers freegal digital music, you can find much there. My library offers streaming and 5 downloads a week.
