It is an album well worth listening to. I am not a lyrics person so I have no thoughts on the words, but there is some interesting music. T Bone Burnett’s projects do always have a certain type of sound which either you like, or do not.
Again, I really enjoy your eclectic taste and the quality of your choices. 
You’re right, Burnett does produce a “sound.”
I’m generally not that into lyrics but over the last decade I’ve really begun to appreciate some lyricists, and especially Bob. And part of the fun on this release is his words. . . and other people’s music. A neat trick for the mind and ear to acclimate to.
Thanks for the kind words regarding my tastes. They have broadened as the seat of my pants has over the years. I play some, and that has allowed me to appreciate music I hadn’t before. And I’ve built on the foundation of the music that I learned at home from my Dad’s taste and collection.
Right now, just for Dad I’m spinning the “Beethoven Overtures” disc from this box set.
One of the few times “powerful” is an understatement. 
True.
I put this one on to chill down after listening to an excellent Cassandra Wilson cd.
Disc 4. Sounds pretty good for a Fresh Sounds release.
Art Pepper.
Amazing Sound From the Fifties (Jazz Sax)
Art Pepper + Eleven – Modern Jazz Classics is a 1959 jazz big band album by saxophonist Art Pepper performing under the direction and arrangements of Marty Paich. The recording is one of several dates Pepper made with Paich and his big band in 1959 and is the only one with Pepper as leader. The recording focuses on big band arrangements of modern jazz classics by Marty Paich, including Denzil Best’s “Move,” Thelonious Monk’s “’Round Midnight,” Gerry Mulligan’s “Walkin’ Shoes”. Highlights of the recording are Pepper’s clarinet performances on “Anthropology” and the alternate takes of “Walkin’.”

Disc the first
Keep putting this one in. The cello sounds so good~!
Teagarden is a favorite and this is one of my favorite Teagardens. His pentultimate recording, it features the songs of Willard Robinson (with one ringer) and its melancholy mood is perfect for Tea and he really delivers.
20th Anniversary Expanded Edition
I love this woman and her singing. She’s a master imo.
New cd from Boplicity. Nice mastering of a not great recording, very interesting music to my ears though.
The US 20 bit cd. Sounds really good through the DirectStream. (I shouldn’t be surprised, not sure why I was, other than these always sounded a bit metalic to me before, but not now).
I confess, I really don’t like Frank Sinatra. But I adore Jobim. This music just sounds so wonderful. It’s like taking a sedative sometimes, but just right other times.
I did not know of this recording. I need to hear it.
Oh, yes you do. You will enjoy it!
Nice music from two American composers of the Moravian faith. I’m descended, on my mothers side, from David Tannenberg, perhaps the greatest pipe organ builder in America in the eighteenth century, he was a Moravian. As a result, my parents have quite a bit of Moravian composed music. They loved music! I like the Moravian church “moto”: In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, love.
And the Moravian brass ensembles!
I have the Sinatra/Jobim on its way.
Yes, but I have to be in the right mood for brass ensembles!
Glad the Sinatra/Jobim is on the way. My Dad asked me to play that again and I did and followed it up with this Jobim that I had not known about til a few months ago, a collection of the contributions that Jobim made to the volumes of “Songbooks” put out in Brazil. Very good late Jobim.
More late Jobim and just some of my favorite music, period.
From the “First Impulse” box set where this lp sounds excellent.
