Well a friend of mine asked me to get him into jazz last week and I finally got around to getting him some suggestions. I put them into 3 sets of 10 albums each, trying not to repeat an artist within the same set. I tried to get albums that as he progressed through the sets, he wouldn't lose interest.
Set I
Set II
Set III
Thoughts? Picking 10 albums for each set was quite a task. The first set was pretty easy. The 2nd set, I leaned on Blue Note recordings and the 3rd set I feel is a more advanced set after he's become used to jazz music. Should take him a year to get through all the music and now it well enough to pick out the tunes from the first note.
