In addition to my trusty iPod, I’m traveling with the following compact discs for in-car listening:
• An advance copy of Chris Thile’s Bach: Sonatas and Partitas, Vol. 1, out next month from Nonesuch
• The complete recordings of the Alec Wilder Octet, burned for me by Alastair Robertson of Hep Records (I’m writing the liner notes for Hep’s upcoming reissue of the octet sides)
• Jim Hall Live! Vol. 2-4
• Booker T. and the MGs: The Definitive Soul Collection
In the immortal words of Spencer Tracy, what’s there is cherce!
