RECOMMENDED LISTENING
With so much music available streaming online and as digital downloads, figuring out what to listen to that will most benefit a developing student can be quite a challenge. In the months to come, this page will present jazz playlists of historically significant recordings, helping to winnow down the choices from seemingly infinite options. These playlists will be compiled from online sources and collected social media.
Check back here for our first couple of playlists, COMING SOON!
