If I had to single out one I'd go for Previsao do tempo.

Or Garra, from 1971. Previsao do tempo is slightly later. 1974, I think.

Duke Ellington “Complete 1947-1952” CBS France 6 LP box set

I noticed Dusty Groove had this French box set for 27 dollars and even though I have had this box set about seven years on LP and over 20 years on cd, I just had to order it.

Turns out it is completely brand new, unplayed. Which is much better condition than the LP set I’ve enjoyed for so long. So I can certainly keep this one!

Listening to LP 3 right now. GREAT music in this set.

Fire! Orchestra – Echoes

First listen to this. An improvement over some of the more recent Fire! records.

Bohren & Der Club Of Gore – Black Earth

Another first listen, more 'nu jazz' / dark ambient music. I was surprised to find that I actually liked this one, because everything else in this very internet age genre has been pretty terrible. Essentially jazz instrumentation used to make sombre soundscapes.

Doom jazz??! I have one Bohren album somewhere, not often played in the last 10+ years

I have always rated the Fire! Orchestra albums more highly than the small group ones, the first one aside which I still think is great.

Abbey Lincoln (featuring Stan Getz) “You Gotta Pay the Band” Gitanes Jazz cd

 

Such elegance. Thanks to Hank Jones I think.
