Another Wednesday, another great selection of tunes. Instead of sharing what I have been listening to over the past two weeks, I am going to share what I’m planning to listen to over the next two weeks. Over the weekend I visited a new record store and picked up what I think are some gems.

Since I’m sharing what I’m going to be listening to, in the next edition of this series I’ll share my thoughts on each of the albums and we’ll see how that goes. These are all on CD by the way. More on CDs and other analog listening in future blogs and podcast episodes.

1. Wish by Joshua Redman

This was an easy choice for me. While I haven’t played saxophone in a very long time, his work really influences me and I’m excited to hear some of his earlier work.

2. is what it is by Mike Stern

Sure, I know of Mike Stern, but I’m far less intimate with his playing.

3. Prince

I’ve always loved Prince, but never thought that I listened to enough of it so here’s to an adventure and deep dive into his entire discography.

4. The Birthday Concert by Jaco Pastorius

I remember learning about Jaco after watching a viewing of a documentary that was made about him during Bonnaroo when I was last there. My mind was blown and I have been devouring his music ever since.

5. Rewind That by Christian Scott

I’ll admit this was a maybe for me, but I decided to get it because I know I need to listen wider and that Christian will have something to teach me.

So, that’s it! These are all of the things that I’m going to be listening to over the next two weeks. I’ll report back my thoughts and findings.
