I profiled my collection of 640 jazz LPs in my blog “Portrait of an LP-Era Jazz Fan: Part 1.”

Below is my collection of 440 CDs (early 2022). 

​As with my LP collection, I fell in love with the music of an eclectic mix of jazz musicians. Similarly, I purchased multiple albums by my jazz favorites as shown below: 
Frank Sinatra
16
Miles Davis
14
Duke Ellington
13
Charles Mingus
12
Henry Threadgill
8
Steve Lacy
7
Thelonious Monk
7
Andrew Hill
6
Abdullah Ibrahim
6
Modern Jazz Quartet
6
Cannonball Adderley
5
Ornette Coleman
5
Chico Freeman
5
Keith Jarrett
5
Charles Lloyd
5
Mal Waldron
5
Interestingly, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Henry Threadgill, Andrew Hill, Abdullah Ibrahim, and Chico Freeman also ranked highly on the LP album list. Frank Sinatra and Duke Ellington CDs got an additional boost in support of books I authored, namely Duke Ellington at the White House, 1969, and The Best Gig In Town: Jazz Artists at the White House, 1969–1974.
​
Twenty-eight percent of my CD collection consists of multiple buys from the 16 artists above.

The remaining 72 percent consists of four, three, or fewer CDs per artist and include a number of singular, transcendent, one-of-a- kind albums, some of which I’ll examine in detail in my next blog.
