Late 50’s/60’s combos moved away from the traditional structure of chords to scales when they framed their solos. It’s theory bullshit, for your listening experience it’s just useful to say this if you want to avoid experimental stuff. If you want to avoid headaches, listen to Wayne Shorter’s early 60’s albums, he was more interested in composition than experimentation and Night Dreamer/Adam’s Apple/Ju Ju are all very accessible listens

Wayne Shorter - Night Dreamer (1964) [FLAC]
Before Wayne Shorter joined Weather Report, he released a slew of forward thinking straightahead jazz, with generally traditional instrument choices (sax, bass, drums, piano, etc), but more interesting musical choices. Much of the material is modal and features Wayne's very distinct and precise phrasing that immediately stands out as him. (I think of it sort of like drawing perfectly straight lines.)
Night Dreamer is one of the more popular albums that Wayne did as a bandleader, and on this album, he has McCoy Tyner on piano (same as Coltrane's Ballads album above), Lee Morgan on trumpet (himself an amazing player), Reggie Workman on bass and Elvin Jones on drums (same as Coltrane's Ballads).
The piano playing on the album is quite lush sounding, and has this feeling of pushing outwards into wider harmonic territory. The songs are melodically on point, and while I'm not the biggest horn guy ever, it's clear that the horns and the piano run the show on this one. Very enjoyable album.
