55 Years of JAZZ BLISS!

We've got stuff even Jazz Heads and Musicians have missed.

Julian 'Cannonball' Adderly

(1928 - 1975)

We have an alternative to the Guide Books with all the words.

Do they really LISTEN to all those recordings? And why would

they LIST something just to criticize it?

We Do Listen ...

(We own most of our suggestions!)

We also list recordings that are not in print.

And tell you which were recorded LIVE!

Many BURIED TREASURES waiting to be discovered.

We make it simple - if it made our LIST, it is a great recording.

We started with over 8,000 recordings and whittled it down to a little over1,200 fantastic recordings.

The musical treasures on the JAZZLIST do not need critiques or pretty album covers (even though we love 'em) - just your

EARS ...

You are going to have to take our word that this is great stuff and the SIDEMEN are INCREDIBLE! ... PLEASE: No criticisms of not identifying their instruments or not giving "CUT TITLES." You will know all that when you get the CD or Vinyl LP.

Afterall, this is not a Book. It's a carefully chosen LIST, and when you start adding the recordings on it to your collection,

You will HEAR what we preach - GREAT JAZZ.

For the information you're getting, this is a STEAL!

This is a racially unbiased LIST. Bill Bohannon is black; I am white.

There is diversity and balance in our choices .

We both believe music has no color - It's good or it ain't!

There was only one FRANK!

The muscians' singer who always gave credit to the SONGWRITER.

All his jazz related LP's are listed.
