Like the weather, the opposite sex and the Loch Ness Monster, jazz music is mysterious. There is a level of familiarity from the large scale presence of jazz in our everyday lives, but the fact the genre hasn’t ever managed to reach the pinnacle of popular culture like other types of music, the song titles and artists often remain elusive.
Author and jazz fan Steve Akley helps clear up some of the mystery by providing this list of 101 jazz instrumental classics. He selected only instrumental songs based on the fact they remain equally adept as the musical focal point of a situation or it can fall into the background when conversation is a priority.
While the book itself is simply a list, in reality it is actually much more than that. Ultimately, it not only provides insight into great music, but fosters debate about what songs should go on to a playlist of 101 classics. Whether you are looking a jazz fan looking to compare or contrast your list to Steve’s, or you are looking at starting a musical playlist of your own, Coffeehouse Jazz is a great resource to get started.
All for the price of, or less than, one song download!
