Hey I11 and NEJ members.

Here is your listening list, as promised! I will also post this link in our "Jazz" tab.

Jazz Listening List 2012

Again, please find an artist on the list (your own instrument is recommended), and find an album of theirs to dig into. Don't be afraid to do a bit of research into who they are, and what albums they might be known for.

Two sites that will be helpful for you:

www.canadianjazzarchive.org
www.grooveshark.com

Youtube is also handy for live performance footage.

If you have any questions, bug Mr. Lum or Mr. Butash!
