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

Bob Dylan . Self portrait.
Having a lazy Bobfest day and for over 50 years this has been the album I have played most. Never tire of it. Cd rip.

Don’t write in, I know it’s not everybody’s favourite.:sunglasses:

Alabaster DePlume - To Cy & Lee: Instrumentals Vol. 1. Achingly beautiful. Have the Vinyl but playing on Qobuz which also sounds wonderful.

John Lewis, the MJQ pianist, made four CDs of transcriptions of JS Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier for the Japanese Philips label, in which some pieces are played solo and on others he is joined by other musicians.

Wonderful performances, but the CDs were never released here, so are rather difficult to find.

Thanks for the information @anon70766008 - I have only recently started building my MJQ collection (including Milt Jackson recordings) so will look into that.

This new release is superb and I highly recommend it, if you haven’t heard it already.
