Listening to Jimmy Heath does it for me. If you see him live, you know his love for playing music is shooting out of him to his audience. I can close my eyes and visualize every note he is playing.

Have to say I agree with every word of that, based on hearing the wonderful Mr Heath live.

Rather than artists, single tracks do it for me. A good example for me is Sheena Easton's "Morning Train" aka "9 to 5". This record does it for me every time.

I'm with you 100%, sidewinder.

Seeing him live in New York in the early 2000s was a revelation. Such a nice person as well as a great tenor player.

His album "Triple Threat" would be one I took to the desert island!
