A personal favorite from one of the greats of 1960s UK jazz. Jamaican-born Joe Harriott was something like the Ornette Coleman across the pond who arrived at similar 'freedoms' in jazz simultaneously. Although not as 'out there' as Coleman, musicians like Harriott or the numerous South African jazz musicians working in the UK since the 1960s added some much needed spice and to British jazz. Sure, it's not "St. Thomas," but the frantic drumming is reminiscent of Max Roach.

Repetition
Polish jazz legend Krzysztof Komeda playing "Repetition" live. The head of this song actually sounds quite a bit like "One Note Rara" by Buyu Ambroise, itself a nod to "One Note Samba."
