Rolling Stone's 358th greatest album of all time
Listenable jazz, most of the album sounds like incidental music for a film. The "freeform" element is toned down thankfully.

Rolling Stone's 266th greatest album of all time
Good American rock album, a slight step away from the Blues-based more typical music with more jazz and classical influences.

So much attention to detail with the family meals. The jazz interludes on the audio book were fun. The writing wasn't terrible, but everything felt disconnected. Read/listen to something else.

Rolling Stone's 451st greatest album of all time (2020)
Brilliant soft brooding jazz album. Flack's soaring vocals laid over tender piano and an excellent backing band make for some wonderful music.

"The trumpeter Lee Morgan was awesome. So many of those '60s jazz players were obviously on a quest for some higher realization, some great truth, and that's what I love about music."

"For a playful mood, I’d turn to Murkami’s sexual coming of age novel. Bizarre and erotic, sensual and dreamy, this surrealistic page turner includes bibliophile and jazz subplots custom tailored to my nerd-dom."

Rolling Stone's 297th greatest album of all time
A little bit of a headache of an album, being very diverse, confusing and frantic. Strong jazz influences throughout with Zappa's characterful vocals over the top.

Album Favorite

"This is more of a collection, rather than an album, I guess, but it's a collection of songs I've listened to hundreds of times. I like jazz, but I don't like all jazz. I like very specific jazz and Chet Baker falls into that category. I prefer Chat Baker's versions of those old standards than any other version. It's very straightforward, there's no frills, it's very direct. The way that he sings is the way that he plays. His voice kind of sounds the way that he plays the trumpet. It's really clean and clear sounding. Not too heavy. It's very straightforward, but with feeling. All the words that I'm using to describe it might sound derogatory but I don't mean it that way at all. His voice is very unadulterated"

Jazz legend, classy and smooth performer. Sinatra will always be known as a class act and this doesn't disappoint. (1 more)
Sinatra adds to the songs, lyrically and changes lyrics during the performance, but it's still good.
