<description><![CDATA[While finishing "Bird-Watcher," a Profile of the jazz broadcaster and expert Phil Schaap, I thought it might be useful to compile a list of a hundred essential jazz albums, more as a guide for the uninitiated than as a source of quarrelling for the collector. First, I asked Schaap to assemble the list, but, after a couple of false starts, he balked.

Add to that, he said, "the dilemma of the current situation," in which music is often bought and downloaded from dubious sources. Schaap bemoaned the loss of authoritative discographies and the "troubles" of the digital age, particularly the loss of informative aids like liner notes and booklets. In the end, he provided a few basic titles from Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Miles Davis, and other classics and admitted to a "pyrrhic victory...]]></description>
