music you cant live without

Paul Simon "Graceland"
Sting "Nothing Like the Sun"
Stan Getz/ Joao Gilbert...first album
Louis Armstrong, Wonderful World
Crosby Stills and Nash "Deja Vu"
Miles Davis "Kind of Blue"
These are some....

The re-mastered "Deja Vu" CD really is great! And Bebel Gilberto "tantotempo" likewise. Brasilian Portugese has to be the sexiest language on the planet. She could be ordering take out for all I know and it still gives me a semi.

Whenever I take a business trip, I take along a CD & tape of the music of Taj Mahal. Pop it in the slot, drive off, I'm at home, even though the city is somewhere else. For extended stays I'll also take the Beatles ( I know they're ubiquitous, but still, they never grow old), John Hiatt (Bring the Family & Slow Turning), & FZ.
At home, these keep turning up as the music recycles.
Santana - Caravansari
Charlie Haden - various
James Taylor - Hourglass
Aaron Neville / Nev Bros - Yellow Moon, Warm Your Heart
