I’ve been asked to give a list of my 10 important records of my life for retroriff.com. The list is made by records that shocked me at the first listening and I still keep listening to them. Unfortunately 10 is very few, so with 20 i feel better doing this kind of selection.
Here’s my selection:

Miles Davis “In a silent way” (Columbia, 1968)
