Ok. First of all I hear you all saying "he still uses CDs not an MP3 player or iPod?". Yeah. I've never converted over. Call me a trailing edge adopter. So I have this CD wallet and each year I fill it up with whatever selection takes my fancy. I mostly listen to music after the sun goes down because we go to bed fairly early wen we are in the bush. So this year I took (in the order in which they happen to appear in the wallet):

Gahu Hot Planet (the Afro Jazz group I was in which has reformed a dozentimes and is now moribund)
Miles Davis Balads and Blues
Miles Davis Kind of Blue (this always makes the cut)
Miles Davis Nefertiti
Herbie Hancock Empyrean Isles
Herbie Hancock Maiden Voyage
Art Blakey Caravan
Roy Haynes When It's Haynes It Roars
Mike Nock Ondas
Grachan Moncur III Evolution
Jackie McLean One Step Beyond
Clifford Brown and Max Roach At Baker Street
Ari Hoenig The Painter
Leon Parker Awakening
Chick Corea Now He Sings Now He Sobs (always makes the cut)
Keith Jarrett Standards V1, V2, Changes (box set sans box )
Keith Jarrett Inside Out
Kieth Jarrett Standards Live
Brooke Sofferman Fine Whines
The Intervention Band Homey (Bob Levey)
Wayne Shorter Juju
Monk Quartet Misterioso
Roy Haynes Out of the Afternoon
Coltrane A Love Supreme
Herbie Hancock Takin' Off
Freddie Hubbard Ready For Freddy

I may have overdone the Jarrett weighting, with hindsight. Usually I have more Miles with Tony.

I use an ancient as anything Sony player and some iPod headphones I bought after the Sony ones shorted out. The sound isn't bad, although it isn't what I'm used to at home. But one must make some sacrifices while camping.
