Amazing resource. Attempts to put together comprehensive discography for major artists. No mean feat given all the session recordings, live performances and albums most jazz musicians have been recorded on.

Interesting speech from Wynton Marsalis on Investing in Arts Education in America. Some discussion of jazz and its cultural role. There's a nice index that allows you to skip to the jazz specific bits of his speech.
