Quintessential Jazz

No pretense of ambience in this mix, just straight forward jazz.  I came across an interesting list here... Quintessential Jazz Songs. The Jazz 100 is a list compiled by listeners of jazz24.org & NPR Music.  It's kinda fun to read some of the comments because the listeners get very passionate about the list.  Much of the list is very recognizable & some of the tracks I'd never heard before, so it was great to dig in & discover music I probably should have known about for a long time. So this mix is just a quick compilation of just a few tracks from the list, with the exception of the Paul Desmond tune(it just worked perfectly following Take 5 with Take Ten). Even though this deviates from from the usual ambient I hope you enjoy it nonetheless. T R A C K L I S T :
