Regardless if you’re a beginning student of Jazz Guitar or an established player, we all have at least five albums that we cannot be without! With that said, Jazz Guitar Life has asked renowned Jazz Guitarist Peter Leitch what his five would be (assuming that he knew before hand that he was going to be stuck on a desert island and that said island had electricity and a full component stereo system) 🙂
…………
As a one-man operation, if you would like to support all the work I do on Jazz Guitar Life, please consider buying me a coffee or two. Your support helps me to focus on Jazz Guitar Life so that I can continue to bring you great interviews, reviews, podcasts and other related Jazz Guitar content. Thank you and your patronage is greatly appreciated regardless if you buy me a coffee or not 🙂 – Lyle Robinson

This Desert Island version is a tad different as Mr. Leitch felt there was no need to add the “Why” to each choice but to rather let the music speak for itself: “I don’t believe there is a Why. The music says it all!” Who was I to argue with the man! 🙂

“I have had to leave out a number of favorite Coltrane and Miles records. Btw, Milestones is the greatest record ever made! Whoops! Forgot about Monk and Ahmad Jamal! Too many to name – just important bodies of work! Clifford Brown! Almost anything by Bird!” – Peter Leitch
