You ever stand in front of a jukebox and have a hard time deciding what three songs to play?

Asking  anyone to name their top three albums is hard, but when you ask a jazz  professor with an encyclopedic knowledge of music, the question gets  even harder.

In our latest YouTube video, Dr. Jared Sims,  Associate Professor and Director of Jazz Studies at West Virginia  University, sharpens his pencil and picks three fantastic albums as his  favorites of the moment. Spoiler alert: they’re not all jazz records!
