The 5 Jazz Recordings You Would Take With You...

stranded on an island. You can only take 5. On this magical island there is a system suited to your specific tastes and the front end of your choice. Keep in mind only jazz will be tolerated on this island. Any other musical format will bring unfreindly natives to your doorsteps who will take you off and boil you in oil. Only five, don't cheat. What's in your suitcase?

Who can resist these parlor game questions? Not me, so here's a shot at it...

John Coltrane - "Love Supreme"
Thelonious Monk - "Brilliant Corners"
Bill Evans - "Sunday at the Village Vanguard"
Ornette Coleman - "Change of the Century"
Charlie Parker - "The Legendary Dial Sessions"

Tomorrow, it would be a different five...maybe we could cheat and include box sets? Billie Holiday's Verve and Columbia recordings? Monk's Riverside Tenor Sessions? The Duke Ellington RCAs? The Coltrane Quartet on Impulse? Miles at the Plugged Nickel?
