My Favorite Jazz

Jazz is the music of savoring the moment. It's about taking anything from a glass of whiskey to a buzzing streetlight to the puff of smoke trailing behind a passing car and considering the beauty and perfection behind all of it.

If you're not familiar with jazz, here are ten full jazz albums that have found their way into my heart, and just might touch yours as well.



In no particular order:

The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out - Mono & Stereo Edition (Not Now Music)
Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sound  
Bohren & Der Club Of Gore - Sunset Mission
Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble - Here Be Dragons
John Coltrane - Blue Train
Monk's Dream - Thelonious Monk
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Ella & Louis
Sonny Rollins - The Bridge
