1. Jazz ABZ: An Education (C for Coltrane)

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.

3. Jazz ABZ: An Education

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)
