If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over.............


Your " best ever " recording, which has likely been discussed ad nauseam, would you select, say, if given a choice of only one ( whatever the scenario would be; stranded on an island, locked up in isolation, all music gone, but this one ). As hard as this is, as there are so many to choose from, I have selected " A Tribute To Jack Johnson ", by the esteemed Miles Davis ( 1992 Columbia version ). I have selected this, specifically for the performances, as I do with all of my listening. The playing.....the musicianship.....the arrangement.....the story, set to music, by the esteemed M.D.. And, my system delivers the message, so I feel proud of my set up. What can I say ? I hope everyone well, and, ENJOY ! Always, MrD.

1) Pop/Rock - The Soundtrack to the movie 'Phenomenon'. Every cut is wonderful, and there's a broad swath of musical styles and artists.

2) Jazz - "Beyond the Missouri Sky' Charlie Hayden and Pat Metheny. Absolutely transcendent.

3) Classical  - 'Paul Galbraith Plays Bach: Violin Sonatas & Partitas'. Because they could not be performed on a standard guitar, he designed and built the instrument, he transcribed the pieces, and he performs them flawlessly. To accomplish one of these would be a crowning achievement for most. The achieve all of them is both humbling and inspring. 

 

Bach's Branden Brandenburg Concertos, in their entirety.

No matter the music you pick...it will make your crazy!!
