“This shelf is a strange, beautiful collision of jazz piano, fusion grooves, and stadium rock. You've got 166 records spanning 105 labels, with the seventies doing the heavy lifting at 52 releases and the eighties backing it up with 34 more. Eugen Cicero and Masayoshi Takanaka anchor the extremes of this crate — classical jazz crossover meeting sun-drenched Japanese fusion. It's an eclectic haul that doesn't care about genre borders as long as the playing is top-tier. Dig into the gaps on those deep spans, pull out the Takanaka records you've been ignoring, and let the crate breathe.”

The Clerk's take
Wayne Shorter is on three of your records.
He's all over the liner notes and you own zero solo Art Blakey or Wayne Shorter albums. The man wrote half the modern jazz canon and you're leaving him in the backing band.
Miles Davis is holding down the middle.
Four records deep and sitting right in that heavy seventies pocket. The man changed direction every eighteen months and your shelf just tracks the turbulence.
Eugen Cicero running from In Town to Balkan Rhapsody.
Five albums from 1965 to 1971. You're missing Klavierspielereien and Marching The Classics from that window, but taking five rounds of jazz-piano Bach adaptations to the dome is a serious commitment.
Masayoshi Takanaka's Seychelles needs a spin tonight.
You bought it and left it sitting. That 1976 summer breeze needs to hit the room before the weather turns.
