View With A Room by Julian Lage - Jazz guitar played by a master! I'm not normally big on jazz but he is just so good, I try to be bored, I really do but I just can't

Currently taking a break with my Audeze MM-500s plugged into my A&K Kann Alpha listening to the crazy No. 3 album by Liquid Tension Experiment. This album is a trip to listen to, but the incredible technical skill of the musicians involved (some big names in prog for sure) is on full display for every single second of this sonic rollercoaster. If you need a little pick-me-up and don't have any caffeine on hand, this album is sure to do the trick! Don't believe me? Give it a whirl!

You try to be bored?? Doesn’t the effort prevent boredom…?……JRiver MC (PC) > SMSL SU9 > SMSL SH9 > Beyerdynamic DT1990 pro

I generally get bored not because it's jazz but because it's an instrumental, my attention wavers if there are no vocals - if the music is dynamic and interesting then I'm fineYou try to be bored?? Doesn’t the effort prevent boredom…?……

Many of music pieces I'm reporting to this thread is recommended by AI's recommendation system (previously Tidal now Qobuz). The algorithms seem to work their job very well.. at least to me. Her debut album (this album) is also recommended by qobuz and I absolutely loved them from the first listening. This is an intelligent and moving jazz album exemplifying what acoustic jazz can do.
On ES's R10, I found the soundstage was a little enhanced than I anticipated. Melanie's smoky voice was large and at dead center. Drum kit and piano were mostly overlapped (they're recorded that way, I think) but understandably separated. Compared to more standard sounding headphones like HD650, R10 expanded and/or over-separated things a bit. I really appreciate vocal presentation (attributable to singer, recording, and audio). In particular, The third track, 'Never Gonna Make It', enthralled and owned me immediately. Her thick and husky voice was much lusher and more romantic than any other headphones I have at the moment.

I feel exactly the opposite. For me, the vocals mostly obscure the music. Several times, I tried to convince my band mates that we should dispense with lyrics and just jam. It didn’t go over too well.I generally get bored not because it's jazz but because it's an instrumental, my attention wavers if there are no vocals - if the music is dynamic and interesting then I'm fine
I guess that’s why Lionel Richie and John McLaughlin can both still sell records.
