Notes
It's insane, the amount of talent the new jazz generations have.
Sometimes its hard to see the forest from the trees because of all the names... But don't fret, here is a selection to get you started.
This tribute mix with artists dedicating songs to Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Mary Lou Williams and Coleman Hawkins amongst many others.
