Friday, always jazz night for me when I can set aside the time. Tonight it's Andrew Hill, tracks from his 1975 album Hommage.
Her music is amazing and original.
I agree even though I only have three tracks of that album... that one I mentioned before and "Tilted" and "Safe and Holy"... now I'm going to get the rest from Apple Music and see if I want to buy them later on.
Sort of in keeping with the flavour of the night, a spot of Cuban music at its sublime best, a few from the Buena Vista Social Club.
You had mentioned seeing them live once before, it must have been so great. I have the movie and some music... pale in comparison I suppose but great nonetheless.
Tonight I've switched to some tracks from assorted albums of the NYC electronica band Brazilian Girls. They're not Brazilian, and the sole female is vocalist Sabina Sciubba, who usually sings in French or English in the albums I have, but she's fluent in many languages (and has quite a solo career that goes far beyond singing).
The band offers music of various dance rhythms, including the occasional tango but nothing Brazilian, although maybe by now Sabina's made them honest Brazilians for a few tracks, who knows. I should check out their latest and find out. Their stuff is eclectic and so I'm a picker and chooser; Apple Music sure works for me with electronica in general and Brazilian Girls is no exception.
Liz, I think the best songs on this album are: IT, Tilted, Paradis Perdus, Christine, Chaleur Humaine. Really worth listening to.
Cuban music!
I am biased. 
Some solo piano works by Claude Debussy...
It was. I'm pretty certain it was the summer of 2001 when I heard them play live.
Those guys were pretty elderly at the time, yet they played a great, enthusiastic concert and the music was just incredible, so cool, so smooth, so seemingly effortless, so bloody brilliant.

Cuban music!
Yes, as am I. Sunshine music, and sublime music.
Beautiful.
W. A. Mozart, Serenade No 10 in B Major, K. 361, perhaps better known as the "Gran Partita'" Adagio.
I don't usually listen to jazz, but I loved this ever since I heard it on NPR a few months ago:
Yes. It's pretty darned good too. I think.
I'm not crazy about the video but like their version.
That is probably my favorite song right now. I have found myself listening to it multiple times daily.
Camille Saint-Saens, with an exquisite piece my Mother has always loved, called "The Swan" from 'The Carnival of the Animals'.
It has been awhile since I listened to 'Zorba the Greek' music, will have to put it on the playlist. Thanks for the reminder.
