Interesting. I think I'd rate Black Love as my favorite -- in no small part due to Dee Dee Bridgewater's vocals. But I dig Journey and Let This Melody too.

Disc 2: - Nocturnes 15-20 - Waltzes

I've not heard that one -- and it sounds like I don't need to!

Kevin, Have you heard the 32 Jazz CD compilation titled Ricky's Choice? If not, you might want to give it a try. It's not one for purists, perhaps -- since it's a comp. That said, I think it's more convincing as a listening experience than any of the individual Muse albums. It skims the cream off the top, so to speak. And somehow it seems a little more legit since Ford picked the cuts.

Good stuff!

A few that I already have but that deserve wider exposure: Along with MANY others.

Very cool. Hopefully, they'll do a LOT of them.

Thank you for sharing this, @hopkins! Fascinating stuff. What a cool thing this young man has done, making his entire collection available to the public -- and just as important -- sharing his passion and his expertise! The whole thing sorta reminded of a Japanese jazz kissa that's dedicated to early jazz. Next time I'm in NYC, I'm going to go!
