music.apple.com/us/album/joh... Auditioned this AM and favorited to my streaming app’s “for special moods” category (“romantic candlelight dinners, etc.”). Jan. 1, 1963 is given for this release date…I was in kindergarten. Sadly, you don’t hear voices like Johnny Hartman’s much nowadays…

music.apple.com/us/album/i-p... As a 4th string, armchair Jazz historian, I’m vaguely aware of Nina Simone’s standing-within-the-genre but have been unacquainted with her music for the most part. Hearing this 1965 album takes this ‘Boomer back to my childhood hearing my “parents music”. YMMV. 👍

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

music.apple.com/us/album/giv... Shifting gears to 1979 here…What an instant flashback to those somewhat hazy days hearing this again! Mostly mellow with an eminently danceable drum/bass line now and again. Went very well with this morning’s cuppa joe. ❤️

music.apple.com/us/album/nig... From 1963, before “relaxing” or “mellow” Jazz sounded anything remotely akin to what’s called “Smooth Jazz” today. It’s sedate…and it’s great! It’s not your Zumba class music! Like a hot cup of cocoa on a freezing day though, it’ll make ya smile! ❤️

music.apple.com/us/album/one... I was tipped off to this wonderful Jazz album from 1960 (2013 remaster here) on an audiophile forum. Indeed what’s best for showcasing one of those folk’s high dollar sound systems doesn’t always equal good music. This one, happily, does and in ample measure! ❤️

music.apple.com/us/album/qui... A search engine query for “relaxing, 1950s and 60s Jazz” over this morning’s coffee led to a related discussion on one of the forums which led to my discovering this wonderful album. If you’re on a similar wavelength today, chances are you might ❤️ it too!!…

music.apple.com/us/album/ext... From time to time, upon auditioning this interesting album from 1973, I’d hear bits reminiscent of Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” then it would take off in its own, slightly avant garde direction again. Crossing genres, I thought of Keith Emerson, circa early 70s… 👍

music.apple.com/us/album/lit... I’ve spoken about how Apple Music’s definition of Jazz departs from my own and this album is a good example…and so good I’ve been playing it all afternoon!! The last track, “Ashe’” harkens back to the Windham Hill catalogue of the late 80s but with a modern feel… ❤️
