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?

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
