Now I can look suave at parties. No worries, was a great suggestion, glad to be able to say I’ve heard it. Now I can look suave at parties.

This is, as Gray knows, very much the music I grew up with it, and a big part of my ‘personal life soundtrack’. For me, good jazz embodies love, hope, despair, passion. I connect to the mournful / melancholic vibe you both mentioned - the desire to be somewhere else, with someone else. I’m a sucker for that passionate romance I guess, and for me jazz is all about the longing. Maybe you need to experience live jazz to really feel it. Watching someone become completely absorbed in the double bass, or the sax, losing themselves in the moment. I love that about jazz. I see it in other genres too, but I feel it more with jazz.

To be fair, I wrote my review while I was listening to it, and haven't listened again since, and probably wont. It's a great album, but not one that causes me to return to it, not while I have the new Alice In Chains to keep me occupied.

I think I was about halfway between you and Gray with this one. Heh, what is it about albums and recommendations?

I think I was about halfway between you and Gray with this one.
