Listening and loops for jazz students

For my jazz students, here is a list of much loved, mainstream, historically important recordings to listen to in your first few years of learning.

Don Cherry’s Art Deco is fantastic! Thanks for posting that one. I had not even heard of that one. It’s a little hard to find too. Maybe out of print.

One of the best pure modern bebop drumming records.
