October Jazz

A jazz playlist for a rainy Sunday autumn evening, heavy on ECM Records styles and tones. I've been trending lately in different jazz directions .....

• Matthew Halsall - Changing Earth .... My appreciation of his music all started with reading an album review a few years ago. 
• Vijay Iyer - Human Nature
• Wallace Roney - Why Should There Be Stars .... Funny how attitudes and preferences change over time and for no known reason. I once preferred saxophone. Now I'd much rather hear a trumpet.
• Wolfgang Muthspiel - Father and Son
• Ambrose Akinmusire - Moment In Between the Rest
• Collin Vallon - Cendre
• David Torn - At Least There Was Nothing
• Eberhard Weber - Bird Out of Cage / Notes After an Evening ..... There were way too many years where I didn't understand the impact and beauty that an acoustic bass can bring. 
• Jacob Young - Minor Peace
• John Abercrombie - Descending Grace ..... Jazz has the most interesting song titles.
• Gogo Penguin - Raven ..... Atmospheric. Close my eyes and it's like I'm floating above it all.
