By All Means!!

Aaron Parks.

The wind is howling outside, rattling anything that isn’t nailed down, making it the perfect night to rip the shrink wrap off this new album from pianist Aaron Parks.

That striking cover art, reminiscent of the old Blue Note style, was just begging to be treated in black and white, even if the record itself is a muted pink/red color.

The music contained in its grooves… well, that’s the cherry on top… it’s classic jazz quartet: Brubeck & Desmond, Getz & Evans. In other words, magical.

If it hadn’t been for a friend on Instagram posting about this album, I would have gone on without ever knowing it, and life would be a little less… enjoyable.

West Coast Jazz.

Stan Getz.

It was bordering on 70° here in the Capital Region today, and it felt like the perfect day to play this album, which to me, sounds and feels like spring…

It’s bouncy, fresh and… hopeful.

This was the album that got me hooked on Stan Getz and probably why he’s my favorite saxophone player.

April in Paris.

Charlie Parker with Strings.

The sun is out and it’s not nearly as cold as it’s been, so that’s a great way to start my birthday month.

I’m a sucker for string choir arrangements and couple that with the legendary Charlie “Bird” Parker’s buttery saxophone playing and damn…

Tangerine. 🍊

WYNK.

One of my absolute favorite ways to mentally survive these days (because *gestures broadly*) is to crack open a cold WYNK and put on a record.

I’ve been so grateful for the folks over at WYNK and their amazing seltzers.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears.

The Mamas & the Papas.

The world is heavy right now.

This record came from another turbulent moment in history, yet it still reminds us how to slow down, listen closely, stay connected to something bigger than the noise… and most importantly, dream.

Music doesn’t fix suffering, but it sure helps us sit with it, in empathy (which is something we desperately need these days).

Basie in London.

Count Basie & His Orchestra.

It’s snowy here today and it’s the perfect weather for some hot, big band jazz.

I’ve been wanting a copy of this for a long time and finally found a nearly perfect copy on eBay recently.

Plus, it sounds incredible on these new KLH Model 3s. Basie’s juggernaut of a rhythm section really thumps with these beauties.

ring-a-ding ding!

Frank Sinatra.

Happy New Year!

This always the first album to kick off the new year for me (plus, it helps that it’s an absolute masterpiece).

Wishing you all the best in life and music for 2026 and beyond!

Cheers! 🥂

Brahms: Symphony No. 3, Op. 90 & Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Op. 56a.

George Szell & The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra.

This time of year feels like a time warp to being with, but couple that with a nasty head cold (that is still lingering despite my best efforts to eradicate it), the days just seem to… blend. With that said, I am glad to be feeling… human enough to enjoy my records again.

This album in particular is a personal favorite and an absolute powerhouse of classical/romantic music composed by Brahms and Haydn. Naturally, the Cleveland Orchestra and their steadfast conductor, the legendary George Szell, bring these compositions to new heights.

Recorded in October 1964, this music and these recordings still sound incredible and to my ears are the definitive versions of these compositions.

I hope you all are enjoying your holidays and are looking forward to a new year filled with incredible music.

Also… this is the first classical album I’ve played with the new KLH Audio Model Three speakers and damn… it feels like you’re there in the hall during the recording.

Around The World.

Oscar Peterson.

The folks over at Mack Avenue must know that I’m a huge fan of Oscar Peterson and that’s why they kindly sent me this new release of some incredible, yet unheard, live performance of Oscar’s in various musical settings (solo, duo, and trio) spanning the years from 1969 to 1981 in places around the world.

I’m incredibly grateful to add yet another exceptional album by Oscar Peterson to my collection.

I’ve added a link for this album in my bio if you’re interested in grabbing a copy for your collection.

It’s A Holiday Soul Party.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings.

Sharon is and will forever be the soul queen for me and this album will always be one of the best holiday albums ever recorded.
