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/3/ . 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. Returning to the chart countdown, I realise I made an error. I left John McLaughlin without posting one of his his best performances. Here it is.

Afro-Cuban is considered one of Kenny Dorham's best albums.

Jimmy Smith playing 'The Organ Grinder's Swing'. I wonder if you could name a track thus today?
