Your One "Go To" Recording


What is the one recording you reach for when you can't decide what to play? The one CD or album that will satisfy your need for music when you don't have anything in particular in mind?

Mine is Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue".

Any format. Any genre.

But...only one choice!

Right now at this point in time for me it would probably be
Cecil Taylor "Conquistador" It's got a little bit of everything I like in it.
And that isn't because someone already suggested a Grusin album...far from it. Like some on this post I have my computer control my CD players, so it is often left to make the final order to cue the players up....but if I had to search, find and pull out an album ...it would surely be this one.

I always seem to fall back on this album and play a part of it every time I listen to music....it is an amazingly well engineered studio album with such clarity, detail and dynamics. I must have heard it a thousand times but it still has the ability to make my hair stand on end every time...and I am not even a jazz or Duke Ellington fan...so that is really saying something!!!!
