3 CD's I've been playing over and over:
Sonny Rollins Vol. 2
I've several others of his (really like Alfie) but this one, prolly cause JJ Johnson is featured a lot on trombone is the best. Paul Chambers bows his bass on Mysterioso which knocks me out. And Monk on piano. Great sound, too.
Miles Davis Round About Midnight
Good stuff, really soulful by Davis but the best, most listenable playing I have heard from Coltrane.
Freddy Cole Merry-Go-Round
#1 sound. Telarc hybrid SACD. Good band, especially Lou Marini best known by me for the Blues Brothers playing on the lunch counter at Aretha's Cafe. Cole's renditions of classics like Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and It's Impossible are very evocative of his brother but the interpretations more modern.
Have to admit these are easy, rather than challenging to listen to. But then I've always been easy.
