Green Linet Recortds 25 Years of Celtic Music

Well, today my wife bought me the Monk bio by Robin Kelley (great writing), so of course I immediately put on Monk's The London Collection: Vol II with McKibbon and Blakey....

The Decemberists - The Crane Wife. While I do listen to jazz 90% of the time, I also go to Starbucks every day and found their current release, then they appeared on NPR. The new album is good, but I really like this older disc. I wonder if they listened to Fairport Convention.

Maty Fahl, The Other Side of Time
Tinariwen, Imidiwan: Companions
Herbie Hancok: Imagine Project

Tinariwen Tassili +10:1

I keep thinking this band is repetitive from album to album - it all sort of sounds the same (like some folks think jazz just sounds like noise) but the more I listen, the more addictive it gets, and you start picking up on how different these tunes that sounded "all the same" really are.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: The Boatman's Call.

Jacques Loussier Trio = Satie I've spent too much time not know about this recording; coming at it from the jazz side.
