The new batch of Rifftides recommendations for listening, viewing and reading will appear immediately below until newer posts send them further down the queue. You will also find them under Doug’s Picks in the right column. They cover CDs by two vibraphonists—one of whom has also published his life story—a gifted bassist in an intimate and moving chamber recital, and Lester Young in previously unissued radio broadcasts. The DVD choice is by a singer whose work is timeless.
