I am SO captivated by what I'm listening to while I blog read/blog tonight I just have to share it. Ted Nash and ODeon, La Espada de la Noche. Seductive, exotic -- I feel taken away from my desk and computer here in Seattle, to some imaginary place. From Billboard:

Excellence in jazz is all about the freedom to musically explore with an open mind and heart to ultimately find one's voice. On "La Espada de la Noche," his second Palmetto album and fourth overall, reeds player Ted Nash achieves that plateau of performance. The quintet swings and improvises through a melange of rarely combined styles, including Argentine nuevo tango, Crescent City brass band, zydeco, Eastern European klezmer and Western European classical.

This is music that opens my heart and mind.
