Sounds Like: I probably sound like a multitude of dissarranged ideas but this is what I like:
Brand X "Morroccan Roll"
Jaco Pastorius "Portrait of Tracy"
Oscar Peterson Trio "Night Train"
Joni Mitchell: Hejira (heartstoppingly beautiful and not just because Jaco is on there...)
Frank Zappa: Sofa No 1 and Andy from "One Size Fits All"
Charlie Haden "Wayfaring Stranger" from "The Art of Song"
Ravel "Pavane pour une enfante..."
Stevie Wonder: too many beautiful songs, but here's one: Visions
