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?

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue
Art Pepper - Art Pepper + 11
Dave Brubeck - Time Out
Diana Krall - Live in Paris
Mark Murphy - Love is What Says

Glad this is only hypothetical because I could not live without John Coltrane (Blue Train; My Favorite Things) and Bill Evans (Sunday at the Village Vanguard; Waltz for Debby).

One CD I'd like to suggest would be Steve Turre's 1997 CD of the same name, "Steve Turre," ... and the opening track with Cassandra Wilson is simply glorious, as is the rest of the CD, ... and Turre is simply at one with his trombone.

I've got several subsequent CDs by Turre, but this one is forever. You won't be disappointed.

As for Coltrane ... it's difficult to impossible to ignore the breathtaking flights of both "Stellar Regions" and "Interstellar Space" ... these may require more faith, at least on initial listens, but both reveal depth and strength seldom found today ...
