Comment:

My girlfriend's friend wanted me to make him a jazz mix that was sort of an introduction to the genre. I didn't cover all the ground I wanted to here (there's no fusion on this tape), but hopefully he likes it. And most importantly, I hope it gets him to go out and start building his jazz collection.

Not a bad intro. at all. I really like the Johnson, Dolphy and Sun Ra tracks (although most of the others are A-1, no-brainer picks too!)
