On this day in 1917, the Original Dixieland Jass Band recorded the first ever jazz record. In honor of this momentous occasion, I've put together some of my favorite jazz numbers. There are some genres of music that I feel I know a lot about. And some I know next to nothing. Jazz would definitely fall in the latter. But, I know what I like, and this list reflects my interest more than standard jazz appreciation. I hope you can groove to it.YouTube:
01. Dizzy Gillespie - Manteca
02. Charles Mingus - Fables of Faubus
03. Wes Montgomery - 'Round Midnight
04. Herbie Hancock - Chameleon (Part 1) (Part 2)
