What are you listening to in 2026 and why might anyone be interested?

On the cusp of a new year (happy New Year to our members in NZ!), a new and refreshed “what are you listening to” thread.

I am listening to this sublime album - it would find its way into my top 10 Jazz albums of all time.

More Gerald on CD.

Great memories of seeing this band in the Hollywood Bowl in the 90s. Players like Harold Land and Snooky Young were still in the lineup.

Great choice Richard - haven’t played this for ages - giving it a spin now, sounding great.

Happy New Year to you and thanks for all your ongoing hard work keeping this forum a great place to visit.

In one sense 2026 will be exactly the same as 2025 in that you can’t beat a bit of Boards.
