Listen To This Playlist Of 2000 Essential Jazz Recordings
Educate yourself on the history of jazz with multiple versions of over 250 standards.
Jazz is perhaps as well known for its standards as it is for its freeform interpretations. This incredible Spotify playlist is a companion piece to the book The Jazz Standards: A Guide To The Repertoire by music writer Ted Gioia. It includes 250 standards and a staggering 2000 different versions of original songs by artists including Marion Harris, Roy Eldridge, Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis among many, many others. It’s the perfect place to start a serious jazz education … or to put on in the background as you sip beers on a warm sunny day. Check out the playlist in full here. Those hungry for more can listen to excerpts of NTS’s recent History of Spiritual Jazz show below.
