Build a sourced set

Use personnel, instrumentation and release relationships to plan a small-label jazz or blues radio route.

A broadcaster often needs the same things a discography reader needs: a title, a credited player, an instrumentation clue and a reason to place two recordings in sequence. The Session Ledger makes those relationships explicit without turning them into an automatic playlist.

Build a set by choosing one documented release, following a credited instrument or player, then checking the next record’s source drawer. Rights, availability and broadcast permissions remain separate questions that this editorial site does not answer.

Planning a set and planning any other sequence raise the same question, which is what comes next and why: choosing a scale model kit starts with a decision taken before any work begins, reading an agency brief is about ordering an assignment before it is shot, and laying a watercolor wash explains what happens when a stage is rushed.
