Brad Mehldau’s Ride into the Sun — a gorgeous, haunting tribute to Elliott Smith. Intimate piano meets sweeping orchestration, balancing heartbreak and hope. Heavy and beautiful.

Thanks for the tip.
Lot of low energy.

Btw Gary Peacock was the best man of a neighbor of mine well over fifty years ago. The wedding was in Japan.

Kenny Barron | Dave Holland Trio feat. Johnathan Blake – Without Deception
A masterclass in modern jazz. Kenny Barron’s piano touch is elegant yet daring, Holland’s bass lines are as inventive as ever, and Johnathan Blake drives it all with crisp, energetic drumming. Every track feels both fresh and timeless—intimate conversation between legends who know exactly when to push and when to give space.
Perfect for a Saturday morning of coffee, reflection, and letting the music breathe.

Kenny Barron never fails to impress, possibly the most under appreciated pianist of his generation.

This is a welcome surprise! Coming in November. 3 cd or 5 LP set of all the studio recordings of the Bill Evans Trio with LaFaro and Motian, including 17 previously unreleased alternates. Plus the awesome Plangent Process!

A bit more regarding this compelling set from Micheal Fremer, where he discusses the Plangent Process:
The CD set lists at $40. I have yet to find pricing for the 5 LP box set, guessing in the $150 range.

Yes, 150 directly from Craft.
I have about 100 or more discs with the Plangent Process, which is a great process.

I preordered the CDs. If I have any CDs that used Plangent, I’m not aware, so this might be $40 of fun.
I already have the AAA LPs so why buy them again with digital in the chain? It’s a lot of money just to re-re-reconfirm that I prefer LPs AAA.

Thanks for sharing. My curiosity has the best of me regarding the Plangent Process, so the 3 CD box at $40 is a distinct possibility.
A start for the various Kenny Barron Dave Holland ensembles, rotating drummers going forward. Scratch Kenny Barron, Dave Holland, Daniel Humair. The second cut Quiet Times is just right, understated and serene.

Ron, this process is pretty amazing. The best showcase of a Plangent Process disc is to compare it to the same material in a previous non-Plangent release. The best example I know of this is comparing any issue of Erroll Garner’s “Concert by the Sea” to the three cd version (complete concert, and released album, and interview, all Plangent Processed) – the new Plangent Process version is transformed.
