The Whining Stranger on Music

Debating the Jazz Canon

Caleb McDaniel has an excellent post on his blog, Mode for Caleb, in which he offers his introductory picks for stocking a new jazz recording collection. Read it here.

I vow now: as soon as I get through some of the work on my desk I will write my own primer in response.

Thanks for the link and the kind words. I'd be very interested to see your own primer if you get a chance to compile it. I know I put off writing mine for a long time, knowing in advance that I'd never be satisfied with The List.
