Thank you all for this! I can see this becoming my favorite thread.

[MartyJazz]

You're very welcome. However as one contributor to this thread, I'd like to state that it's not meant to be definitive. In my case, having constructed a database that contains a lot of data from the jazz CDs I personally own, I use it to cite those albums recorded as we march through the calendar. Thanks to Gary for coming up with the idea for this thread.
