A simple brief - put together a playlist of songs that would fit onto a single CD (you can go for a double if you have the energy), that best represent the most essential, best or simply your most loved songs of the Blue Note label. Does that mean sales success, musical vision, or a combination of both? You decide, and feel free to explain why.

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I would strongly argue that 'Workout' and 'No Room for Squares' are among Mobley's best work. Sonny Rollins' 'Vol. 2' is also among his best, so any sampler should include a track from that.

Great selections. Present-day Blue Note would put out something just like that and then have disc 2 split evenly between Mizell Brothers productions and Diana Krall/Norah Jones/Wynton Marsalis.
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

Mizell’s - now you’re talking!
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Freddie Hubbard just kills me here. And the great rhythm section.

Re: The 'ultimate label sampler' disc: Blue Note
A Mles Davis side and a Sonny Rollins cut were definitely in contention - i just ran out of room, i think. I kept the 10 there to some of the key hard bop and soul jazz tunes and players, all featuring horns; no piano trios or organ groups, no early boogie woogie and nothing too free, and nothing after the late '60s. Those are for other separate discs.
