Stanton Moore Trio- Conversations (2014)- ****
(After seeing Stanton Moore playing jam band funk and R&B for 15 years, it blew my mind seeing him in a jazz setting for the first time. Now, his jazz trio is going on ten or so years and it remains a highlight of every New Orleans trip.)
v/a- Jamaica Jazz From Federal Records: Carib Roots, Jazz, Mento, Latin, Merengue & Rhumba 1960-1968 (2019)- ***1/2
Jackie Edwards- Do You Believe In Love (1976)- ***
(Pretty average "lovers rock," though I did enjoy "High Noon.")
Brian Eno- Before And After Science (1977)- ****
David Bowie- Live Nassau Coliseum '76 (2017)- ****
Billy Nicholls- Would You Believe? (1968)- ****
Van Halen- For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (1991)- ****
(Definitely the best of the Van Hagar records.)
The Jaded Hearts Club- You've Always Been Here (2020)- ****
(British supergroup plus pandemic/lockdown covers album equals just what I needed at the time. This whole record rocks, but imagine hearing "Reach Out, I'll Be There" two months into lockdown, June 2020. Cathartic sobbing, and for that, I will always love this album.)
The Beatles- Beatles For Sale (MONO, 1964/2025)- ****
Wilco- Summerteeth (1999)- ****
Motorhead- Ace Of Spades (1980)-****
(Everyone should own this record. Celine Dion fans. Wu-Tang Clan fans. Jascha Heifetz fans. Everyone!)

That Stanton Moore Trio vmclip is fantastic! Thank you
I wasn't familiar with the Jaded Hearts album and just gave it a spin. I can see why it was a pandemic favorite. Good stuff!
Jaded Hearts was a real high point during a very low time.
