It’s hard because I know they are there to make money for the charity but honestly, just price them to sell and they get the money instead of records that will never sell.

This Jazz Sampler from Prestige is better than I first thought it might be. Starting off with an abridged but very cool version of A Young Man, a.k.a. Young Man Blues. We’ve got Arnett Cobb, Art Blakey, Miles Davis and others.
