Watched Transformers: Age of Extinction before work. First movie with Atmos encoding I've scene at home. Was very interesting that even though I don't have Atmos, the movie had a great sound envelope. Lots of environmental ambient noise with sound que's in the right places. Def worth watching!!!!!

Having a Traditional Jazz Wednesday afternoon
Jon Faddis/Teranga (2005)
Thirty-five year veteran, Jon Faddis, takes his trumpet/flugelhorn to knew heights. The "sounding range" in terms of pitch will take your tweeter/midrange to their limits...don't be surprised if you hear the neighbor's dogs barking.
Teranga, at 12:08 minutes, is the showstopper track here...there is a track or two that does remind "even me" of elevator music... over all a fantastic group of tunes.

WOW...Chaal Baby...this is just Fantastic Music!!

Red Baraat/Chaal Baby (2010)

This band is simply fantastic. Their use of the saxophone, trumpet, trombone, sousaphone, and drums is simply amazing... I was most impressed. The song, "Chaal Baby" is utterly phenomenal...the trumpet, trombone, and drum work, left me speechless. I highly recommend this recording, and would once again like to thank santhosh for the recommendation.

HOT HOT HOT a blistering set from three "ole" veterans

Jazz Funk Soul/Jeff Lorber - Chuck Loeb - Everette Harp (2014)

Sax, guitar, keyboards, and drums to die for...my Tritons were so happy today. If you like uptempo jazz, funk fusion... take a listen.

I am glad you like my friend's brother's band, Anthem. They are even better live (obviously). I can't wait to check out your suggestions. I have built a headphone rig recently and have been spending a disproportionate amount of time headphone listening. Loudspeakers are still the best, but headphones offer an immediacy and a level of personalization that cannot be beat. The music 'lives' in your head. It is also very convenient when you do not want to wake up the family! Right now, I am CURRENTLY listening to J.J. Cale's "Troubadour". It is a good album. A soul satisfying "meaty" album that I find very satisfying right now.

I had to add another great album I am listening to right now. B.B. King's "Deuces Wild". With heavy hitting guests, this is one rocking blues album.
