  7. 2 reasons this is special to me:

    - this is my favorite album to listen to when its snowing.

    - This was recoded 11 blocks from my present address on my first birthday.

  8. One of the most haunting and insinuating pieces I've ever heard. I particularly like the sotto voce accompaniment, reminds me of early Keith Jarrett.

  9. A re-up would be great. Khan Jamal is not so active those last years so listening to his great music should be nice.
