What are you listening to in 2024 ?

Count Basie and his album "Basie ... Straight Ahead". All charts written by Sammy Nestico. Played many of those charts back in my Army band days. Title track Basie ... Straight Ahead, A Warm Breeze, Hayburner, and The Queen Bee are some I remember. No band could swing like Basie's.

Karen Briggs
(born August 12, 1963), also known as the "Lady in Red", is an American violinist. Born in Manhattan to a family of musicians, Briggs took up the violin at age 12 and committed to playing professionally at age 15. Briggs joined the Virginia Symphony Orchestra while still in college, but grew discontented with performing classical music and left the orchestra after four years. Since then, she has performed predominantly in the jazz and contemporary instrumental genres.


 

I want this to be played at my funeral (not that that's gonna happen today -- I hope):

There is no instrument more plaintive than the English horn. This is the 2nd movement (Adagio) to Joaquin Rodrigo's "Concierto de Aranjuez" for guitar. Narciso Yepes, soloist.

Sounds like the thoughtful, reflective scene about midway in a spaghetti western.
