Charlie Parker - The Essence Of Charlie Parker (2006)

Often considered a pioneer of bebop, Charlie Parker was a confirmed atheist. Often referred to simply as "The Bird", he struggled with heroin addiction while putting out some of the greatest jazz recordings of all time. He died from a heart attack when he was 34 years old and the coroner mistook his age for being 50 to 60. Remember, don't do drugs kids. Miles Davis said, "You can tell the history of jazz in four words: Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker." An atheist bebop soundtrack for filling out your pro-fluoride ballot, awwww yeaaahhh.

Atheist - Unquestionable Presence (1991)

This sophomore effort by the technical death metal band Atheist is often hailed as a landmark album in the genre.  It features jazz-like harmonies, latin rhythms, complex time-structures, and endless baffling riffage.  I'm excited for this post because I get to label it simultaneously death metal and jazz.

Frank Zappa - Hot Rats (1969)

Perhaps its my return from three days of a lovely romp through Astoria with my girlfriend that is making me feel nostalgic and I confess, it took me a long time to appreciate Frank Zappa.  With lots of tongue-in-cheek lyrics impinging on my early high school death metal sensibilities, it took a few years of learning about the world (and punk rock) until it finally clicked.  Frank was also a "strident" (I love how that word gets thrown at atheists) critic of religion.  There are also an astounding number of species named after Zappa by his ardent zoological fans: an extinct mollusc in Nevada and named Amaurotoma zappa, a genus of gobiid fishes of New Guinea Zappa, with a species named Zappa confluentus, a Californian jellyfish Phialella zappai, a Cameroonese spider, which they in 1994 named Pachygnatha zappa because "the ventral side of the abdomen of the female of this species strikingly resembles the artist's legendary moustache".
