Social distancing and personal anxiety about the future brought on by, well you know, can be relieved by a dose of good music? Here’s a CD that’s working for me: T.S. Monk’s Higher Ground, 2002. Upbeat and well-played, it features an interesting variety of tunes. Problem being: you can’t purchase Higher Ground on iTunes; and the physical CD is available on Discogs or Amazon, but not individual tracks for download. My favorite track is “Ladera Heights,” an easy-going number with just enough bottom and excellent solos. You may recognize it if you listen to jazz radio.
