"The Essential Jazz Recordings"

Written by Ross Porter

The Essential Jazz Recordings

Ross Porter's The Essential Jazz Recordings has suggestions for your music library. It's available in bookstores now, and proceeds from the book go to support JAZZ.FM91. You can also purchase it online.

It's my hope that you will take a chance on many of these recommendations and that each one leads you to another by that musician or that group or by one of the musicians in the group whose sound has impressed you...You may find, as I have, that jazz is the perfect accompaniment for your life. - Ross Porter, from the preface to The Essential Jazz Recordings
