I was driving around yesterday evening and I stumbled upon this station during the right time. Great music top to bottom. I decided to check out the web site. I would be curious as to how many of these you own. http://www.desertislandjazz.net/60discs.html I would not be surprised if you own them all. I only have about a dozen of them.

Also check out the play list from last night. http://www.desertislandjazz.net/playlists.html Do you see a bad on in the bunch? It really was a great find.

Sounds like a great station.....wish it was around here.

I was all excited that I had found a great station, but they only spin jazz on Tuesdays and Saturdays for a few hours each time. Still I found the first link interesting. Choose only five (5) if you will be stranded on a desert island. http://www.desertislandjazz.net/60discs.html

I would have to go with:

Meets The Rhythm Section

Art Pepper

Somethin' Else

Cannonball Adderley

Time Out

Dave Brubeck Quartet

Song For My Father

Horace Silver Quintet

The Sidewinder

Lee Morgan

Hey Rich.

Sirius has a great jazz station so I rarely, if ever, listen to the radio anymore. Thanks for the info though.

As far as desert island jazz LPs, that's just too tough. Off the top of my head:

Grant Green, Idle Moments

Duke Pearson, Wahoo

Curtis Fuller w/Benny Golson, Bluesette

The next 2 might both be Art Pepper LPs. Probably Meets The Rhythm Section and + Eleven. Really tough to choose though.

Odd list, really. I have about 90% of these albums, but I have to say I there aren't alot of "top 60" recordings here for me. But if I have to pick five from that list:

Meets The Rhythm Section

Art Pepper

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

Complete Quartets with Sonny Clark

Grant Green

The Sermon

Jimmy Smith

Blue Train

John Coltrane
