For the second year in a row, I have been sending CD compilations of jazz music (12 total) to Reggie Love, President Obama's personal aide, to put on the president's iPod. (How much of it has made it onto the iPod playlist I don't know.) As I stated a year ago when I posted the 2009 presidential playlist, this list reflects my tastes in jazz and should not be construed to be President Obama's choices. So, what follows is the complete playlist of jazz tunes that I sent to the president in 2010 (in alphabetical order by the artist's first name).
