Here is the next stop on our alphabetical journey through our Jazz ABZs*: C for Coltrane.
This is the first track that made me really appreciate jazz... and to this day, it's my standby when I feel the need to chill out and write.
Track 3: I'm Old Fashioned**
*a personal project to go through Marsalis's Jazz ABZs and find a representative song (or just a song that I like) performed by each artist, with the goal of creating a decent playlist to accompany the book... and to flesh out my knowledge of jazz. It's also just another opportunity to admire the art of Paul Rogers, which is always a good thing. **written by Jerome Kerns

When I first saw Jazz ABZ by Wynton Marsalis (with contributions from Phil Schaap and amazing artwork from Paul Rogers), I thought it would have been great to have an accompanying cd or playlist to go with it, to give the reader a sample of each artist's music.
Well, it's been almost three years now and no one has provided me with that playlist yet, so I guess I'm going to do it myself. It's works because I'm also trying to expand my minimal knowledge of jazz... so as a personal exercise, I'm going to start posting a personal favorite song from each of the artists in the book until I work my way all the way through. Along the way, if anyone has other songs to recommend, feel free to pass it along.
I guess the beginning is as good a place to start as any:
Track 1: West End Blues (Louis Armstrong)

It goes without saying, perhaps, but I have to say it--your jazz project is very cool!
Thanks Kate! and it doesn't go without saying... i'm glad to hear you like it!
