I have been working on a jazz playlist. The idea occurred to me while reading Quincy Troupe’s book, miles and me. This is by no means a complete survey of the entire jazz catalogue—just a bunch of jazz musicians and tunes which I dig.

You will, of course, notice the inclusion of a lot of Miles Davis. I love the trumpet, and Davis is by far my favorite jazz musician.

Also, yes, this exploration of jazz pretty much takes a nose dive at the onset of the 80s and comes to an abrupt end.
