Another Chet Baker essential album. What sound.
Pepper Adams’ baritone sax comes thru with particular realism.

Dave Brubeck’s Time Out (1959) changed jazz forever—bold rhythms, cool swing, and the timeless groove of Take Five. A masterpiece that still feels fresh today.

Excellent sound quality on the Japanese SHM-SACD as well.
Actually the original recording is way excellent.

Neil Charles “Dark Days” Jazz Now cd
I took a punt for one of the 500 cd copies of this work because it reflects a work by one of my favorite authors, James Baldwin. I’m glad I did. A writer said of this performance (it was recorded live) “It refuses comfort.” That’s likely true for most listeners. It is challenging and intriguing.

The album cover for Echoes by the Søren Bebe Trio is minimalist and serene—and it beautifully reflects what you’ll hear inside. This isn’t a record that rushes or demands; instead, it invites you into a calm, spacious soundscape full of quiet beauty. Put it on, slow down, and let the echoes carry you.

Spinning David Sanborn’s Timeagain today — smooth, soulful, and timeless. A masterclass in jazz sax that feels just as fresh now as when it dropped.

Lars Danielsson / Verneri Pohjola / John Parricelli – Trio
Elegant, spacious, and deeply melodic. Recorded live at Château Palmer, this album blends Nordic jazz with chamber music textures. Very well recorded. The recording space lends it a very live feel. Very well recorded!

Currently listening to Pat Metheny Unity Group – Kin (←→) (2014).
A stunning mix of jazz fusion, progressive sounds, and global textures—Metheny at his most expansive.

First up this morning is a milestone for Pat Metheny — the first time in his long career he featured a tenor saxophonist (Chris Potter) as a permanent voice in one of his ensembles. The result? A band that lives at the crossroads of structure and freedom.
Together, they craft a sound that feels both timeless and modern — rooted in jazz tradition yet pushing forward with fresh energy. Plus it won the 2013 Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album.

Charlie Watts - (June 2, 1941– August 24, 2021)
Quiet. Steady. Timeless. 
Charlie Watts wasn’t the loudest Stone, but he was the heartbeat that kept the band rolling for nearly 60 years. From rock anthems to his beloved jazz, his groove was pure class. A reminder that sometimes the coolest guy in the room is the one who doesn’t need to say much at all.
