Arooj Aftab – Night Reign

This is charming. I have no idea why it appears in the jazz year end lists. Lots of major jazz musicians do appear but basically it is an orchestrated Richard And Linda Thompson type folk record. I like it a lot more than her recent co-headliner with Vijay Iyer which I thought was po faced and dull.

Beautiful beautiful music. I haven’t listened to this in a while and with the new upgrade to the OS of the DAC it’s even more stunning.

Morelenbaum² / Sakamoto “Casa” Sony Classical cd

Recorded in Jobim's "casa"--his home studio. Beautiful engineering.

 

90 percent just Paula on vocals, Jacques on cello and Ryuichi on piano.

Re-playing this one as unreleased tracks from said group/year are to be released by Cuneiform in early 2025 .... :

That's a great set and good news that there's more to come but I have to wonder why they didn't release it all in the first place

Now: Sonny Side Up-Verve.
