I know many of you are looking for jazz music for that special progenitor in your life, so here are my current top 10 albums in no particular order:

1. Stan Getz – Cafe Montmartre (1991)

2. Diana Krall – Quiet Nights (2009)

3. Charles Mingus – Mingus Ah Um (1959)

4. Pat Metheny – Watercolors (1977)

5. Jeff Lorber – Midnight (1998)

6. Dave Brubeck – Jazz Impressions of Eurasia (1958)

7. Miles Davis – In a Silent Way (1969)

8. Billie Holliday – Complete Decca Recordings (1944-1950)

9. Steely Dan – Aja (1977)

10. Keith Jarrett – Solo Concerts in Bremen/Lausanne (1973)

Honorable Mention goes to Michael Bluestein – Wild World (2001), if only for the daringly successful rendition of Led Zeppelin’s “Ten Years Gone.” Soothingly mind-blowing.
