The 'Track of the Day' is currently running down a list of the 'Top 300 Jazz Artists'. rateyourmusic.com/list/noname219/top_300_jazz_artists/2/ . The list is based upon the number of entries and positions that an artist has achieved in a published list of most popular Jazz albums. Because it based upon album popularity, there is necessarily a bias towards more recent artists. Louis Armstrong may have sold umpteen different 'Greatest Hits' album but unless one or more particular 'Greatest Hits' album is rated, then none of them count towards his standing in the 'Top 300 Jazz Artists'. Despite this limitation, it is an interesting list that is worth exploring. A last track from Philip Cohran. This one is really hypnotic.

At 116, saxophonist Jan Garbarek. This is a great track.

Jan Garbarek has a great catalogue, but very little of it is available on YouTube.

There will be no updates until the middle of next week.
Here are some further Jan Garbarek tracks in the meantime, all very good.

As an interrupt to the chart rundown, I am posting a track with the unlikely combination of Pink Floyd and Stephan Grappelli.
Also in tribute to the New Orleans songwriter and performer Dave Bartholomew, who has just died aged 100, here he is with one his many compositions.
