Ill Communication
Beastie Boys
1994https://album.link/i/724771323
Example:
Yeah I know 'Sabotage' rules, but I just really like how much Jazz is on this album. Probably pissed a lot of people off back in the 90s, but I think that this is really a great complete album. Well done.

Skylarking
XTC
1986https://album.link/i/1440889477
Example:
So many songs I could post so I just gave the opener. It has been a while since I had listened to this 80s classic. But I see it as timeless.

Street Survivors
Lynyrd Skynyrd
1977https://album.link/i/1484692844
Example:
Remembering Ronnie on the anniversary of the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash on this day in 1977. The album that was released three days before the crash that took 6 people's lives.
I saw them once they regrouped with brother Johnny singing in 1988, along with the Rossington Collins Band at the Concord Pavilion. It was a good show, but of course not the same.
Edit: Correction - SEP 27, 1987 - at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre... {Friend Richard, who has a much better memory than myself provided clues to find the actual show).
Oh and here is the setlist - https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/lynyrd-skynyrd/1987/irvine-meadows-amphitheatre-irvine-ca-1bc6ddc8.html

Reading, Writing And Arithmetic
The Sundays
1990https://album.link/i/1440917168
Example:
Just a chunk of 1990s goodness. It was very much of its time, but so am I.

Thriller
Michael Jackson
1982https://album.link/i/269572838
Example - I know that I don't need one - but just the opening production of this:
Pretty good...

Plays For Bird (RVG Remaster)
Sonny Rollins
1956https://album.link/i/1443215456 < This list needs to be updated
Example:
I was not a big fan of the first tune, but the rest of the album made up for it spades. I don't really know why, may be the first track was a little bit too much in your face. 4 tracks for 52 min.. Some killer tunes before the magic 1959.

Americana, Vol. 2
JD Allen
2022https://album.link/i/1633349120
Example:
I feel bad that I didn't start with Volume 1 of Americana. Anyway a very good Jazz/Blues Album with lots of flavors and styles on display. This made it into my queue last year, and as we know I am way behind. But happy to discover gems like this in the mix. Need to explore JD a little more, I like the style and this one is recorded well.

Ha, welcome to the uncontained family. I've been watching Spenser and Mac for about 5 years now ever since they first connected the two containers. Pretty amazing journey, and I learned a lot. I have enjoyed 'Michygoss' {Canadian} and the earlier videos from 'Cajun Country Livin'' {they must have gotten a marketing team this year}.
Ed: I was using vv this thread for non-traditional things that I watch. But serial YT is pretty close to TV...

Country Airs: The Original Version (Expanded Edition)
Rick Wakeman
1986https://album.link/i/1508393470
Example:
I remember back in the 80s I was into Rick Wakeman (still am) and into New Age Music (kinda still am), and this album came out. It really showed his composition style and is ornamentation of cords and themes. Still really enjoyable as a Sunday morning listen. He has over 90 solo albums, so I don't think I will be doing a Discography run anytime soon.

You've Got To Learn (Live)
Nina Simone
2023https://album.link/i/1689102364
Example:
Much more of a historical release than an audio one. Some great performances of 1966, at the Newport Jazz Festival. Just not engineered very well, lots of vocal clipping that is tough if you are really trying to listen and get into it. Still really glad it was released, it will just not be in rotation.
Rant - I find that so much with the deluxe and super deluxe ultimate extended anniversary release of some albums with 74 tracks for an album that had 9 songs. Cool, I was glad I heard it once, now I am going to go back to the original album. I usually don't need to listen to the 4th take of a demo that didn't make it on the album in the first place. I feel that I have written about this before. - End Rant.
So, speaking of a band that I know much more by name than music, or I should say I did until now.
Nightlife
Thin Lizzy
1974https://album.link/i/1443836724
Example:
Really great dual guitar led rock. I, of course, am very familiar with 'the boys are back in town' off of Jailbreak, but there is a lot of music before and after that that I was never exposed to. I guess I will keep my TIDAL account for a little bit longer.

Vladimir Horowitz - Horowitz in Moscow
Vladimir Horowitz
2010 (Ed - 1986)https://album.link/i/1452506788
Example:
A master playing a masters game. At 81 with his return to Moscow, he really did show that he had very few peers. I remember watching this in the 80's on "CBS Sunday Morning" with Charles Kuralt and being mesmerized. I need to play this more.

New contemporary female - pianist.
Romance – The Piano Music of Clara Schumann
Isata Kanneh-Mason
2019https://album.link/i/1463178540
Example:
A lovely set of recordings of Clara's work (her husband was Robert). I really liked the Romances, and the Scherzo (shared) off of this album over the orchestral works. But all well recorded by Decca. I still think Isata is growing and learning, but I have enjoyed her work.

Hello Nasty (Deluxe Edition/Remastered)
Beastie Boys
1998https://album.link/i/721224205
Example:
like you don't know it - I was going to pull a deep cut - but this is just too good.
"Intergalactic, kill the children, kill the children, intergalactic.."
I know it does not say that...
Anyway, a really good album. I would almost put it squarely in the acid jazz category. So many great tracks that hit hard, and with dynamics and diversity. Worthy revisit.

Vaňhal: Symphonies, Vol. 5
Czech Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Pardubice, Michael Halász
2022https://album.link/i/1608575307
Example:
Overall a nice selection of work, very much in the Classical Era, and well recorded and performed. Would recommend.
I didn't really know Vanhal's work (or Wanhal, among others). But known and liked by his contemporaries, and I can see why.

i don’t know who needs to hear this...
Tomberlin
2022https://album.link/i/1606957903
Example:
A quiet but very intentional album. New Artist to me, and I really enjoyed the album a lot, sophomore release. I have not dug into the lyrics much at this point, but I feel that I will be rewarded when I do.
