Not sure why i am enjoying this so much tonight….easy listening, but done really well.

Thanks - the reissue has some poor comments on Discogs about pressing quality, which was why I was asking.

@Rafael wrote “many thanks for bringing Andrea Motis to our attention.”

Being introduced to new music is why I love the ‘What are you listening to…’ threads so much. I was introduced to Andrea Motis when @jazzman22 who posted one of her albums.

Enjoy your upcoming visit to Blue Note to see Andrea in March and let us know how the show went.
