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

Alright, here's my try........ I hope there's a power boat that shows up at some point to bring some more stuff over... Drinks anyone?

Miles Davis - "Kind Of Blue"
Sonny Rollins - "Saxophone Colossus
Thelonious Monk - "Brilliant Corners"
Louis Armstrong/Duke Ellington - "Toegether for the First Time/Reunion (cheating a little here)
Billie Holliday - "Songs for Destingue' Lovers"

And now, for something (almost) completely different...
I'll go with five fusion pieces:
1. Weather Report -- Tale Spinnin
2. Stanley Clarke -- School Days
3. Chick Corea -- Light as a Feather
4. Jean Luc Ponty -- Enigmatic Oceans
5. John Mclaughlin -- Belo Horizonte
Ahh, but there's so many more!

And if the Natives won't allow fusion...
1. Miles Davis -- Someday My Prince Will Come
2. John Coltrane -- Lush Life
3. John Coltrane -- Love Supreme
4. Sonny Clarke -- Cool Struttin
5. Miles Davis -- Kind of Blue (of course)

Xiekitchen,
The natives would certainly hold a war council on your first 5 choices but would not attack. Your second 5 would couse no consternation at all.

Time for me to chime in:

Miles - Kind of Blue (of course, of course)
Coltrane-Blue Train
Diana Krall-Love Scenes (not going anywhere without at leat one DK)
Bill Evans Trio-Waltz for Debby
Brubeck-Lve at Canegie Hall

Am I at 5 already, dang. Well that's my choices for today anyway. Tommorrow might be a different storey.
