It is important to have a dedicated thread for Jazz Music; so here she is, brand new, totally fresh.

Spin it now! :) ...And tell us all about it; and not just a pretty picture, even after several times because we never feel the same twice. So, spell it out! :) ...You don't have to write a book; a line or two would do, but at the very least few words to describe your musical 'stance' of the moment. ...'Cause without it, it don't mean much at all.

You go now, me I can't, I'm listening to Classical music right now.
 
On vinyl....

Bill Evans - Moonbeams
Sarah Vaughan - After Hours
Billie Holiday - Body & Soul

Jeez, I said nothing regarding 'Surrender' from Jane Monheit!

I like her, her voice is very pleasant, she's relatively young, and she seems to be a very nice lady hanging with some real cool people.
That particular recording ('Surrender'), was mixed with some 'expansion', to give the voice and instruments as if they were played in a larger space (with some reverbs). ...It is really a personal taste as to the technique used by the mixing engineer.
Personally I prefer a more 'natural' approach; but commercially it can sound too 'sterile' for some.

In music listening, like anything else in life, you have sometimes to go beyond the surface to 'hear', to touch the artist's true essence. ...If you can do that, then you are a more disciplined music listener, I think.

Antonio Sanchez's latest - New Life - on CD. Great original compositions, you can hear Pat Metheny's influence on a couple of them.
 
Red clay is awesome! I only have it on CD too. Right now I'm playing Brad Mehldau Trio's Ode on my 2w decware amp, sounds great!
 
Raining again today but some nice simple piano tunes are making everything good. This is a great album! Just Monk and his piano playing beautiful music. :)

Doug, all great selections! I'll have to check out the other Mehldau albums I only have a couple. Right now I have David Binney's South CD on which has Chris potter,Adam rogers and brian blade among others, I like his compositions. For that matter brian blade's albums as leader are also superb. So much to listen to so little time...

Isn't that the truth! There is just so much out there, sometimes I feel as though I've only skimmed the surface... :(
