Likewise. I enjoy listening to nearly all of Anouar Brahem’s albums. Another one that comes to mind is “Blue Maqams”!

I had forgotten this was the first RCA release by Desmond, putting him in a much different setting than a quartet setting, probably a smart move but time has proven this to be less discussed than those that followed on RCA.
I like this though, and yet. . . even with Jim Hall. . . I miss the blend of Desmond and Brubeck, it’s like sweet and sour, or just the right blend of spices in a curry.

Added to the queue. Haven’t heard this one!
Kenny Burrell with Tommy Flanagan Trio. Track 2 is a favorite. Halfway it settles into a relaxed swing mode!

The sequel release of this one is good too.
