What did you listen to today?

Born on this day listening project 

1937 Waylon Jennings, American country singer and guitarist ("I'm A Ramblin' Man" ), born in Littlefield, Texas (d. 2002)

Born on this day listening project 

1941 Harry Nilsson, American pop and rock singer-songwriter ("Everybody's Talkin'"; " One"; "Without You"), born in Brooklyn, New York (d. 1994)

Hard to say.  Of course, Kinda Blue, which remains the biggest selling jazz record (says Wiki) and stuff with the first quintet.  I like mixing his music in with others of that time and style (50's/60's), stuff you find on Pablo and Verve is almost always good, including Count Basie and Duke Ellington at that time. Just found a nice Oscar Petersen Live from Europe at a yard same.

I am curious - if anyone is inclined to listen I would like to hear opinions.
