 * Keep The Aebersold series is the most used resource for high end jazz education. Its notability comes from its wide usage and the impact it has had on the nature of jazz pedagogy and therefore the nature of jazz playing. A brief Google Scholar search shows its academic popularity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Storeye (talk • contribs) 08:31, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Lists of tables of contents are not encyclopedic content. Storeye's points would be good reasons to keep an article about the series, but this list is not useful. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:55, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * * WikiProject Jazz notified. AllyD (talk) 18:00, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep: If consensus ends up being so. Otherwise, a list of volumes in the Play-A-Long series (with brief descriptions, personnel, publication date, most recent edition, etc.) would be helpful instead. Eman 235 / talk  19:32, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Note: This list links only to material farther down in the list. It seems to violate Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists and also is violative of WP:NOTCATALOG. In response to User:Storeye, the fact that the Aebersold series exists might be the basis for a good WP:Article, but not for this odd sort of WP:List.

 * Keep I concur that the Aebersold repertoire is the most accessed set of practice tunes for skill building studying music. I disagree that this is simply a TOC listing, is appropriate and falls correctly under WP:SAL.Bugcrusher (talk) 20:31, 29 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment: There may be an argument that this selective list of progressive works for the student falls under the US Supreme Court position quoted in Wikipedia:Copyright in lists: "The compilation author typically chooses which facts to include, in what order to place them, and how to arrange the collected data so that they may be used effectively by readers"?

 * More comments: a much more user-friendly list of songs in this series is here. I think we should turn this article into a list of volumes (see my suggestion above) in the series, (List of volumes in Aebersold's Play-A-Long series) with another article just for the series (Jamey Aebersold Play-A-Longs).
