Soulful / fresh currentPlaylist noteApr 20, 20269:27 AM

The Jam Session is setting the daybreak temperature on the dial.

The Jam Session by Miles Davis off 1986-1991: The Warner Years (CD2) (2011) is coming through with a slow-burn glide, a soulful / fresh current lean, and a touch of fresh current. Requiem in D Minor, K. 626: Xv. Lux Aeterna is already changing how the current record reads.

The Jam Session into Requiem in D Minor, K. 626: Xv. Lux Aeterna

The Jam Session by Miles Davis off 1986-1991: The Warner Years (CD2) (2011) belongs here because Requiem in D Minor, K. 626: Xv. Lux Aeterna by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Piano Sonata No.1 in F Minor Op.2 - II. Adagio by Mari Kodama provide a fresh turn after Je Te Veux by Satie without cutting the thread.. Requiem in D Minor, K. 626: Xv. Lux Aeterna is waiting as the answer, so this record is doing more than setting a mood; it is shaping the turn.
