I'm at the pearly gates and they tell me I can only bring in one jazz cd

Personally (given that choice) I would tell them to F-Off.

First thing first, is my Labrador greeting me from inside the gate ?

Prez and Teddy seems to capture the essence of "Jazz" at its best - bluesy, folksy, sophisticated, and optimistic - always in the moment yet reflective and forward thinking

Miles Davis - Seven Steps To Heaven.

But why in God's name would anyone listen to jazz on CD? That ain't heaven.

Between a rock and a hard place! In heaven only one piece of music, sounds like hell to me. In hell, all your records warp! I think I would be shooting for limbo. I hear their power grid is pretty clean.
