To answer the question in the thread title: I'm listening to Pandora right now...

You can create your own custom internet streaming radio channel, either by choosing a favorite song or artist. I have at least a half dozen favorites. You tune your channel by giving a thumbs-up or thumbs-down to songs you like or dislike, which weeds out music you don't care for.

Lately in my player, a lot of home-made compilations:
A Beatles compilation I put together
A Guess Who/Burton Cummings set
Herb Alpert & the TJB: "Written In Brass" (a collection of TJB songs written by their in-house songwriters)
Burt Bacharach - "Chronology" (a collection of his A&M best)
I have Sergio's FOOL ON THE HILL waiting in the wings, but need to wait for warmer weather to play that one.

JO... Looks like we're into similar stuff. As I was reading your post tonight, I was listening to Mose Allison Live At The Lighthouse. I also love bossa nova, and Nara Leao is great!
Looks like we have some Gary McFarland fans here. I recently picked up The In Sound (Verve) on cd (japanese import) at Dusty Groove records in Chicago. If any of you guys haven't checked this place out, the selection of instrumental and jazz cds is outstanding. Lots of stuff from Europe. Many things you wouldn't think are released on cd can be found here. Its worth checking out. Website I believe is dustygrooverecords.com.

Great stuff there, Audiophile. Anyone who listens to Duster will quickly discover that so-called "jazz/rock" fusion had a substantial recorded document 2+ years before Miles Davis' (unfairly) received all the accolades for his unique but much over-praised Bitches Brew set; as for Spiritual Unity -- easily one of the most incredible progressive/experimental (i.e. "new thing") trio LPs ever issued...on the cat's meow of '60s jazz labels, ESP-DISK. Can't forget Mr Lloyd's stack of Atlantic LPs...one one hell of a run!! Oh, my, but you've got the goods there!audiofile said:
Nightcat -- Yeah, I'm a certified Most freak. Mose Allison is an American treasure...perhaps the first "pop" artist to do the Americana thing. Once, in concert he sang Tumbling' Tumbleweed...I met up with him briefly after that show and remarked about such an uncommon selection. He kinda looked up at the ceiling and said it was one of the good ol' good ones. He's got the "Nat Cole" piano jazz + rural blues/roots country + pop standards thing goin'... As for Ms. Leao -- I'm in the midst of acquiring all of her '60s Phillips issues...need only two more. As much as I enjoy the Brazilian-American cross-over artists, just one listen to a Brazilian artist, such as Nara -- who only made records for Brazilian audiences -- and one begins to pick up on the salt-of-the Earth feel of her musical culture. The emotive quality I feel from her recordings leaves me speechless.
