In general, I have a lot of BN unspinned, and certain albums I listen to on repeated occasions...

I stick with the absolute classics because other albums are more of the same in a less way (buy them on cd sometimes). Orginality isn't one of the strongest characteristics of jazz-music (some exceptions).

This together with "We Get Requests" are the only Peterson albums I listen to sometimes, they are really nice and if I´m exhausted and don´t want to "figure out" much things, just close my eyes and relax, it´s okay. Oh , and I have also "In Tune" with the Singers Unlimited with Peterson, it was somehow en vogue when I was a boy....

"Sunflower" got me in a CTI mood and so I'm now on the second disc ("Chicago Theme") in this 2 cd Hubert Laws set, "Morning Star / Carnegie Hall / Chicago Theme" on Beat Goes On. 

A mixed bag overall but the arrangements on the first two albums and the innovative flute effects technology especially on the first album remain very interesting. 
 

The mastering on these Beat Goes On CTI recordings is "meaty" and I wanted to hear how they are reproduced by my new DAC, which is a heavily modded (new transformers, EMF absorption material, and and analog board/Farad external linear power supply mod) example of the PS Audio DirectStream DAC that I have been using for years.

Two sister recordings, favorites of mine, by Antônio Carlos Jobim, on one Beat Goes On cd. 

Antônio Carlos Jobim, "Tide/Stone Flower"

I have masterings I favor a bit more of both, but having both on one cd is a nice thing indeed. Deodata arrangements... I think he did great arrangements at this time.

Two things:

1. Jazz needs more show bands.
2. What is Ann Arbor like these days?

Just set up something new so I'm listening to familiar material. 

Herbie Hancock "Speak Like a Child" Blue Note Japan SHM-SACD

Such beautiful music!

So true.

Currently revisiting Joshua Redman's Elastic (Warner, 2002).

I remain surprised at how heavily pushed Redman's, perfectly competent, music was. Was jazz in the 1990s in such straits that this was the best on offer? These albums are still in print even now.
