Jazz ABZ: An Education (A for Armstrong)
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 (How rude!). I guess I'm going to do it myself. The timing is right because I'm trying to expand my minimal knowledge of jazz. So, as a personal exercise, I'm going to start posting a song (either a signature song or one that I just happen to like) performed by 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*
Bonus: Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans**
*written by King Oliver
**written by Eddie DeLange and Louis Alter
