The 5 Jazz Recordings You Would Take With You...

stranded on an island. You can only take 5. On this magical island there is a system suited to your specific tastes and the front end of your choice. Keep in mind only jazz will be tolerated on this island. Any other musical format will bring unfreindly natives to your doorsteps who will take you off and boil you in oil. Only five, don't cheat. What's in your suitcase?

LOL @ Onhwy61!

If I were to be limited to just five, you might have to broaden the selection for me, as I like a lot of sub-genres from outside of the US. What if I were to bring along a bunch of steamer trunks ala JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO?

I got a funny feeling the natives of The Enchanted Isle of Jazz would be making Gunbei Chowder before too long.
