Wordful Wednesday
Seth Abramson has played an instrumental role in shaping one of the most successful clubs in New York City. I love all kinds of music like Jazz, Blues, R&B and Classical. Here are the top ten songs on Seth's playlist. What's on your iPod?
1. "Legs" (off of Let My People Go) - Darondo.
2. "Stuttering" (off of Live at Jazz Standard) - Fred Hersch Pocket Orchestra.
3. Serenade - Toninho Horta... great Brazilian guitar/vocal recordings.
4. "Ocean and The River" (off of Senzo) - Abdullah Ibrahim... beautiful solo piano work by this Zen South African piano master who was discovered originally by Duke Ellington.
5. "Lady Struck" (off of Kids) Hank Jones & Joe Lovano.
6. "The Blossom of Parting" (off of Metamorphosen) - Branford Marsalis.
7. "Knives Out" (off of Day is Done) - Brad Mehidau Trio.
8. "You Are My Sunshine (off of Powell's Place) - Shannon Powell... New Orlean Jazz.

There's so much more. From my Cd collection to my old vinyl records, I am continually surrounded by tunes. My iPod is docked in my kitchen and goes with me in the car, and along relaxing strolls in the country and about.
Another site is Pandora Music for easy listening pleasure.
How about you? What's on your Playlist and where do you find free downloads?

I don't know any of those songs on the playlist. Mine has a number of my boys songs on it like Shrek, Backyardigans (oh, that's mine), Go Fish, etc.

None of those ring a bell with me. While I enjoy all kinds of music including classical and blues right now my player is loaded with rock, mostly from the late seventies and eighties.
