Although I have many, many more CDs than I do LPs, it is still the LPs that I tend to turn to as they represent the past in ways that recently acquired CDs can never do. The new purchases take a long time to acquire that "comfort zone" aura but some get there! As I have been processing some classical LPs, I thought I would do some "warm overcoat" Jazz as well so on the link below you will find
Quincy Jones' "Quintessence" (a marvellous vehicle for New York session musicians together with Phil Woods, Thad Jones, Eric Dixon, Freddy Hubbard and others),
Marty Paich's "Jazz West Coast" including Art Pepper and Mel Lewis,
Roland Kirk's "We Free Kings" and lastly the Clark Terry and Oscar Peterson LP which has beautiful ballad playing by Clark ( as well as the famous "Mumbles!!") and one of the most exciting high-speed solos OP has ever produced on "Squeaky's Blues".
Ballads of a different type are to be found on Nancy Wilson's "Welcome to my Love" with orchestra arranged by Oliver Nelson ( also to be found on tenor in the Quincy Jones band).
