Thanks! The Juilliard set (made by a post-Mann group);gets a strong review, as did the Amar quartet, which seems to emphasize slower than usual tempos that highlight color and texture. I like edge but I also like color. So I'm gonna marinate this for a while. Any further input from our community is certainly welcome!

LOL!  Much truth there re: Joni & "jazz".

Today - July 16 - Cal Tjader would have turned 100! Let's celebrate the Cal Tjader Centennial and spin some of his music!
