Thanks Bart! I was trying to find that Penguin guide when I came across Ted Gioia's books - Amazon didn't have it or the current version at the time, so I'll keep an eye out for it.

Excellent, thanks for posting - I’m headed for Amazon. Here’s another great listening-chair book. It’s an older one (1980) but good for material prior to that.

Ralph Alessi - Imaginary Friends
Qobuz 24/88.2 ECM's releases create a very consistent atmosphere of quietness and melodiousness. Always good for late night listening. All compositions by the leader-trumpet player.

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - 3 Blind Mice Vol. 2
Qobuz 24/44.1 Wayne Shorter is crazily good on some tracks, as is Curtis Fuller. Recording quality is decent for a live concert from that time, although the piano is too recessed.

Duke Ellington - The Private Collection - Volume One: Studio Sessions Chicago 1956
via Tidal I just discovered this series (after a suggestion in 'Stereo', that gives good tips of classic albums every month). I'm at the first volume of 10 and so far I'm very pleased, as this contains fine versions of his songs, and the sound is very decent. http://www.depanorama.net/cds/pc.htm
