So for context, I've NEVER done any ham radio stuff, none of that, I've only listened to radio when I was 12 but that's pretty much it. I've just finished my first year of electronics engineering and decided to buy an RTL-SDR V4 dongle and some cheap ass antenna as a new hobby for the summer (and hopefully learn a thing or two about radiocommunications because I might do that stuff at uni in the future). I plugged it in, did some Linux terminal wizardry (copying commands from websites) and boom shakalaka I can receive local radio stations. This is the coolest thing ever. What can I do next?

So most jazz has that night-time feel that makes you feel like a tired detective in an old noir movie sipping a glass of bourbon, but since we're halfway through may and summer is just around the corner, what are some essential summer jazz albums? The ones I came up with this far:

- My Favorite Things by John Coltrane

- Black Classical Music by Yussef Dayes

- pretty much the entire Pat Metheny discography

Yeah most of what I've found is newer stuff and fusion, which is cool but I'm wondering if there's some more classic stuff that fit the vibe
