    You should play John Heartsman and then try to explain to your listeners why a mediocre lounge jazz record is worth $5000.

    Hey Escoe,

    What sort of jazz do they want played? Straight-ahead? Progressive? What? This would help in making some suggestions.

    What do you have access to? You can't go wrong with classic Blue Note and Prestige stuff.
