Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk (1958)
Six tracks of inspired genius, which in my opinion is one of the most important albums in the history of jazz. I really ought to get the 2022 version with alternate takes of every track.

Starting Sunday playing something a bit louder than I really should be, featuring Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten.
Sunday morning and time for Opera.
Gone with Carlos Kleiber’s La Traviata as championed by @anon70766008 earlier in the week😊
One of CK’s truly great recordings, with a dream cast and a magnificent recording, conducted with all of CK’s usual brilliance.
I must say, I am really enjoying it😊

Officially billed as the year of “Brian’s Back”. Well, sort of, maybe.
Brilliant album, in places.
Yo-Yo Ma | Six Evolutions, Bach Cello Suites | 24-96 flac
Sunday morning favorite to start the day. Yo-Yo Ma playing is so wonderful, he makes everything seems so easy, you can feel the emotion in every note. Technically and emotionally perfect.
