It's nights like this that quiet the mind. Indian summer night, less traffic than usual, gentle breeze blowing through the half-opened windows. Nights like this make my ears pine for hushed, reserved jazz. The best way to appreciate it? Definitely on vinyl... the sound is just soooo warm. I freely admit to being a slave to the digital age, having shelves full of CDs, and a hard drive full of MP3s. Lately, I just feel the need to seek out more and more on classic wax... not that this, by any means, is a new venture for me... let's just say that I'm re-committing myself to the search...Finding a beautiful vinyl copy of John Coltrane's Blue Trane today intensified my need for some peaceful, serene jazz. Enjoy these Indian summer nights... and this mix...
