Is It Warm Enough For You?
I just got back from Arizona where it was 115 degrees, a dry heat as they say. Well, that is too hot for me. I just need some cool jazz so I can get some relief and relax. Now, not all the tracks fit into the cool jazz genre, but they are "cool" jazz tracks none the less. There is a wide variety in the mix from the Italian trumpeter Enrico Rava to the hard bop trombonist Curtis Fuller. I particularly enjoyed the track from flautist Bradley Leighton.

3. Blue Lights - Clifford Jordan/John Gilmore

Boy can you pick them. Diverse in time and instrumentation, and all decidedly cool without falling into the cheese.
One of my long-term projects is a playlist featuring people with the most fantastic names in music history. Chucho Valdes is right at the top of that list.
