What's in your CD player/iPod?

I really have enjoyed the 'What are you listening to?' thread over on the TBDB site. This this new KSB bass forum is the bomb, I though it'd be cool to have a similar thread over here where it's not frowned upon for people who play double bass to also list music with no double bass or music with bass guitar or synth generated low end.

Right now I am listening to the '99 D'Angelo album Voodoo with Pino Palladino on electric bass. I also just listened to Coltrane's Blue Train Paul Chambers on bass and I got Radiohead guitarist and composer Jonny Greenwood's Bodysong: Music for the film. In general, I like it.

Time Warner Cable was supposed to come over today and set up Roadrunner high speed internet, but they didn't show up. I am looking forward to be able to check out more audio and video online when they make it here.

Right now I'm listening to some Tower of Power...a great funk group that if anybody hasn't checked out they should.

I also listen to a lot of Chicago and Earth Wind and Fire. This is usually my weekend music after having rehearsals and class all week.

I really like TOP and EWF; I would like to get more of their essetial albums. Which TOP albums do you like, Nick?
Today I've been listening to a really cool album, Andrew Hill's Black Fire with Joe Henderson, Richard Davis and Roy Haynes.

Soul Vaccination: Live in Concert is a great album. Also, Soul with a Capital "S", Souled Out, and Back to the Streets. Those are some of my favorites.

They have so many great CDs that you really can't lose with any of them.

We're playing Mahler 2 here right now, so it's San Francisco Symphony with Michael Tilson Thomas playing Mahler 2. What a piece.

I put in Brad Mehldau Trio, Day is Done with Larry Grenadier on double bass.
Also, on the radio I heard some incredible singing on an NPR opera show. I wish I could remember the name of the female singer.
