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?

Surfgod:
"Stratus" was going to be my fusion #6 choice....
and then the obligatory Weather report "Heavy Weather" and RTF "Romantic Warrior"
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)
