John Coltrane was very influential, including on psychedelic rock. I'm not well-informed on his music. From what I do know, I think he was brilliant, but I don't care for his harsh sax sound, and jazz usually strikes me as too superficial and "casual" in its attitude, and I prefer a more passionate and aspiring attitude. Maybe his most famous album (and one of his last ones) was A Love Supreme, which came out in 1964

The tracks "Pursuance" and "Psalm" seem to have some good moments. Track 7 swings well.

Jazz, show tunes, and later, modern classical, contribute more to "the best songs ever" in the years before the last Awakening began in 1964, than afterward. But these genres didn't end. Perhaps others have picks from these genres, and I encourage postings in the appropriate threads if you know of any. I hope this thread continues to be mainly chronologically backwards, as my postings will be.
Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk are among the jazz artists from the 1T/early 2T era that I like (or at least, sorta like).
Another response to gabrielle's comment: 1964 music had such creative and uplifting energy that, at least that year and maybe 1963 were not "dead" years in pop culture, and there's of course many great musical works stretching back for at least 3 centuries before 1964. But for sure, culture is the most alive during awakenings, not only in the artistic works created, but the suffusion of spiritual and inspired feeling among the people. LSD was certainly among the catalysts for that phenomenon in our recent Awakening.
Of course, Bob Dylan wrote Mr. Tambourine Man in Feb 1964, the Summer Solstice of the saeculum, and it is definitely psychedelic (though not the result of LSD).
Gabrielle posted a work by Herbie Hancock earlier (that is, later!)
