I'm currently listening to an "Arcadia" album you might like better.
My priorities and listening queue are out of whack...
Finally
Arcadia
by Alison Krauss and Union Station (2025)https://album.link/mx9hftt6ktmgp
Example:
Full of audio treats.
{and yes this was triggered by the Rick interview that just dropped}

Words Fall Short
by Joshua Redman (2025)https://album.link/jhxqg6xc93kz7
Example:
Second Blue Note release, instrumental with the exception Gabrielle returns for the final track. This is going on the high rotation playlist. Playing with full confidence on this set, and they are playing tight together. Worthy Blue Note release, and the sonics match.

Yesterday's listen's - and this morning.
Tiny Things
by Tiny Habits (2023)https://album.link/zhq9tcbphnd6p
Example:
More of an EP at just under 19 minutes. A good listen, they play a strong harmony game, and they play it well. It was not quite what I expected from the album cover, but rewarding on multiple listenings.
and
More Alfred...
Schubert: Piano Quintet - "Trout"
by Cleveland Quartet (1978)There are a few more in my queue, but you get the idea...

This works too:

CONCLUSION
=======================
Ultimately, the question comes down to regime change inIran[the USA]. Short of that,Iran[Trump] will renewits[his] quest fornuclearweapons [against citizens] -- though it will take years and still won't work. Achieving regime change inIran[the USA] is a tall order, however. Frankly, it is beyond reach in military terms.

Where It All Begins
by The Allman Brothers Band (1994)https://album.link/mdpnmkzjtgzb7
Example:
I am not sure I knew this existed, much less that it was really good. A great set of guitar forward tunes.

This Here Is Bobby Timmons

Can't we just relax and listen to more Bobby?
Sad to think that he only made it to 38yo.

For Alfred -
Alfred Brendel was a big part of my early classical journey. Readily available from Columbia House on sale, they had the Phillips and Decca recordings. And since I was in full exploration mode and he recorded things that many people didn't record, I ended up with a pile of his albums.
Brahms: Piano Concerto No.1
by Alfred Brendel (1980)https://album.link/fxnrsg7pgznc8
Example:
and
Beethoven: Für Elise; Eroica Variations, Op.35; 6 Bagatelles Op.126; 6 Ecossaises
by Alfred Brendel (1985)https://album.link/v4df2crd6cksf (boy this page pretty much didn't exist)
Example:
This is an example of recording something that most people don't. People play Für Elise, they use it as an encore, and the audience goes 'awe', but most performers don't recorded it. So like Murray Perahia, Yo-Yo Ma, Michael Tilson Thomas, Vladimir Horowitz, he was a big influence.

Gadabout Season
by Brandee Younger (2025)https://album.link/psfqgzn0sqxzr
Example:
I listened to this the first time yesterday, and I was not sure about posting it. Just as an FYI I normally only post here if it is a recommendation of some sort. But once I reflected on this new album, I can see what is going on. I first listened to Brandee about three years ago with her Somewhere Different release. But this release did not really fit that same jazz mold. They have taken much more of a Andreas Vollenweider side to harp than the Jazz fusion mix they did before. So in that context, I like it. Its only real flaw is that it reminds me that I want to listen to some Andreas. I don't think that a great selling point for an album, is that it makes you want to listen to another album.

^^ this.
I had it high in my queue and your post pushed it forward. Not an easy listen. Not that it is not really good. It is pretty great. But it is not for the faint of heart. There are a lot of notes, and they are not in the order that I would expect. But listening deeply there are themes and phrases that emerge that are very rewarding. And some tunes that are absolutely beautiful. Well recorded and minimizes the Jarrett mumble.
Side note - last week when I had a friend visiting, I tried to explain - The Köln Concert - It was hard with someone that does not listen to jazz and had never heard of it before.
