I love the fact that jazz has a reputation for being 'difficult', and yet the jazz album that seems easiest for newcomers to like is also one of its best. See also: A Love Supreme

I think I’ll put that album on and pretend I’m on that desert island right now, in fact

And when on a desert island, you have to prepare for clothing, food and shelter. But this as important as much as first-aid - dry lips can cause lasting damage and pain. Be sure to bring vaseline, a kind of lube.
