Just a first impression: It's excellent, comparable to The Tokyo Concert. But Gomez's bass is more prominent.

He's well recorded and not overdoing it (like he did later recurringly) ....

Arooj Aftab – Night Reign

This is charming. I have no idea why it appears in the jazz year end lists. Lots of major jazz musicians do appear but basically it is an orchestrated Richard And Linda Thompson type folk record. I like it a lot more than her recent co-headliner with Vijay Iyer which I thought was po faced and dull.

Beautiful beautiful music. I haven’t listened to this in a while and with the new upgrade to the OS of the DAC it’s even more stunning.

Morelenbaum² / Sakamoto “Casa” Sony Classical cd

Recorded in Jobim's "casa"--his home studio. Beautiful engineering.

 

90 percent just Paula on vocals, Jacques on cello and Ryuichi on piano.

Wasn't it just. Couldn't believe the reviews it received

That's a great set and good news that there's more to come but I have to wonder why they didn't release it all in the first place
