I finally know several of these. 21 is probably my favorite of the list but a lot of other great ones. Gonna get on these playlists soon

What a decade! 1959 kicked ass!
TheMonster
12.15.21
Absolutely, a huge number of classic records came out in '59 (and the momentum doesn't stop in the 60s)

This is getting serious. 1959 is one of the greatest year in music.
TheMonster
12.15.21
Yep. It'd be interesting to do a list of the greatest years in the history of music (1959 would certainly be on it).

These lists show how pathetically shallow my jazz knowledge is, finally recognise/have heard some of these now we've entered the 50s. Some stellar jams here.
Just wanted to say keep up the good work!
