Listening to Joao Gilberto "Amoroso" album. I absolutely LOVE his calming voice, and the strings add so much to the arrangements—if there were no strings, this would legitimately be a bad album. Also, I think it's a great album to listen to after a long (but fun) night at the jam session.
Listening to it because I like it but also I'm writing some arrangements for a gig with singer and a guitar player (and me on keys), and she wants to do some more modern stuff, so this kind of meets the requirement of that...
