Not sure you're doing Beethoven justice if you're just listening in the background, he wrote so many beautiful intricate harmonies.

Autumn Leaves is probably my little band jazz recording, you can listen to it actively and get a lot out of it, or you can leave it on in the background and still enjoy the ambience

*my FAVOURITE little band jazz recording. I am not personally Cannonball Adderley.

I like listening to this album when I'm doing something tempestuous, like mowing the lawn. It's a bit more musically interesting than eighties power ballads, but it's not so dense that I feel like I'm doing it an injustice by not giving it my full attention.

I hate fucking Rudy van Gelder, forces his trademark shit and tinfoil piano in so bad it's irrepairable
