Hopefully, it would be a big island, and with a stereo!

Miles in Europe
Sinatra's Only The Lonely (figure I'm gonna be pretty lonely, too)
Point of Departure- Andrew Hill
Scales- Manfred Schoof Quintet (from ECM, love what European players were inventing in the 70's)
Live Sides- The Jazz Crusaders in the 60's
Free For All- Blakey (another Blue Note)
and a whole bunch more . .

There's so many good recordings in this list. Great music for most and great sound for some. But I find myself over exposed and burnt on some of these listings. I mean how many times can you hear Getz/Gilberto before blowing chunks?

Ror that reason I'll list some that I don't tire of easily and can keep coming back to over and over again.

Like:

Pat Metheny Group - The Way Up
Pat Metheny - Secret Story

(others to be added later when I have time)

James Carter - Chasin' the Gypsy
Hugh Masekela -HOPE
