Great new CDs! I listened to all the tracks you´d selected and I just ordered the Billy Childs-CD "Triumvirate". On that CD is also the track "Lazy Afternoon". One of my all-time favorite compositions. There´s a great version from Mark Murphy...

Glad you enjoyed Christian. Be sure to check out Harold Land's, if you don' already know it...

I wasn't familiar with Harold Land´s version. Wonderful!

The Nash, Allison, Cardenas album is one of those where—and I say this kind of thing a lot regarding both music and fiction—just because one artist/ group did a thing one time, doesn't mean it's off the table now. A thousand bands try to sound like the Coleman-Cherry quartet, let's have 20 more like the JG3, there's so much to explore in that configuration.

Will do! Have you had a chance to check out my previous albums "Caribbean Blue" and "Nitty Gritty"?

Yes, both terrific, especially Caribbean Blue. You have excellent musical taste. A rarity today.
