Since I began my job in January, I’ve made it a point to spend Fridays listening to jazz while I work. Admittedly, even as a classical musician, I spend a large part of my music listening time listening to jazz. I think very many musicians would agree with me in saying that listening wildly greatly informs the music we play most often. I largely consider myself a musician and classical guitarist who often plays guitar and sometimes, hopefully, that plays jazz. I have a deep appreciation for the art form and I hope that in a lot of ways that comes through in all of my other artistic pursuits.

If you’re new to jazz or just looking for something new to listen to, I’ve included a few of my favorite jazz albums.

Enjoy your weekend!
