Jazz Playlist

Jazz playlist from time spent on youtube where one thing (video) always leads to another ....

  • Oliver Nelson - Stolen Moments from the album, "The Bues and the Abstract Truth"
  • Lee Morgan - The Sidewinder from the album of the same title. About halfway through found myself playing air piano.
  • Wayne Shorter - Witch Hunt from "Speak No Evil"
  • The Yellowjackets - Wildlife
  • Chick Corea Akoustic Band - Spain
  • Bill Evans - You and the Night and the Music from "On Green Dolphin Street." 
  • Bill Evans - My Heart Stood Still
  • Chet Baker - Almost Blue
  • Red Garland Trio - C-Jam Blues from the record, "Groovy,"
  • Lester Young - They Can't Take That Away From Me from the album, "Laughin' To Keep From Cryin'."
You think that you have a comprehensive collection of Jazz but then you realize that there's so much more out there to hear. These Jazz guys were so incredibly prolific especially compared with other genres. And many of the best played on each others records.
