Who is your favorite jazz artist? There are so many great artists, it might be really hard to name just one. Miles Davis is probably at the top of my list, but the list is long and continues to grow.
Here are just a few of my jazz favorites.
Nefertiti — Miles Davis
How Deep Is The Ocean? — Bill Evans
Footprints — Wayne Shorter Quartet
Moanin’ — Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
