Happy new year! The Brian Wilson solo piano album is really starting to grow on me... at first I felt like it was a bit too much in the Muzak vein, not so different from what you'd hear someone noodling at Nordstrom's or something but no, it's much nicer than that, and I've warmed to it quite a bit... and the melodies, of course, are gorgeous... Last year I did some deep diving into Duke Ellington, especially his later years (which I think of as post-1945)... this year it's Charles Mingus... I've always got Mingus tunes floating through my head, but it's nice to go through his discography chronologically... the sheer richness of his compositions are life-sustaining and full of energy...
