Comment:

Beginning with the legends — Weather Report, Chick Corea, Jaco Pastorius, John McLaughlin — and continuing right up to the present with artists ranging from Diana Krall to Norah Jones, contemporary jazz has gleaned from rock, R&B, and pop on its way — once again — to becoming one of our richest forms of music, as these Essential cuts attest.
