100 Greatest Live Jazz Albums
|
|
Criteria: -
These 'live' jazz albums were chosen for the influence,
originality, impact, and song choice for their recorded gig they
gave us. Some of the best jazz albums were live albums, so I
recommend all of these. This list does not include compliations,
"greatest hits", or live jazz 'vocal' albums.
Newly added names are in Red
