What are you listening to in 2023 and why might anyone be interested?

I have it in Tidal and also is in 7digital.

I wrote a short review one hour ago:

Tom Kennedy and Dave Weckl, Stories, 2019.

I like it, I am listening to it a second time on this sunny Saturday morning in Milan.

Kennedy and the gang sound like a meeting of friends intended to have fun. Each friend has a bit of space and time to put their instrument to play, not in a showy way, but in an orderly fashion that looks designed to demonstrate many sessions of rehearsal and the understanding that the team is above the individual.

You may agree or not, but I feel this is a bit too civil and polite.

Why Stories is the title album I don’t know, I don’t think Stories is the best track. And it goes off like if they don’t know how to finish it, which I don’t like. Probably a manager selected the title.

There is a drummer (Dave Weckl) working hard in Don’t Forget Your Jacket, is this a reference to Terence Fletcher in Whiplash? Again in a too polite way if at all.

Very nice sound overall, in my opinion the special mention goes to the engineers. Where this was recorded?

Now listening to Points of View of 2017. Many thanks @Blacknote.
