The 10 Greatest Jazz Albums (of all time) 🤔

UPDATE 7/18/25: Due to a recent policy change by Warner Music Group, the audio for Roberta Flack's "Tryin' Times" (Track #1) has been blocked and removed from this video. As a result, the final segment may seem abrupt, as you'll only hear commentary without the underlying musical track. We apologize for this limitation and encourage viewers to seek out Roberta Flack's incredible "First Take" album to experience this masterpiece in its full glory. --------------------------------------------------- Tired of the same old “desert island” classic jazz albums? 🏝️ Ready for some NEW deep cuts? 🥰 Peter Martin is about to take you through the REAL top 10 jazz albums of ALL TIME! ⚠️ WARNING: This is a highly subjective list - please proceed with caution! 🎧 Spotify playlist → https://osjazz.link/spotify 🎙️ Check out our podcast "You'll Hear It" (#1 Jazz podcast worldwide) →    / youllhearit   💿 Enjoy these tracks?
