I had it on in the shop all of Tuesday so took it home for a "proper" listen. It is indeed wonderful.

Yes, I love this and just in the last days had it out for a listen after forgetting about it for quite a while. can you point me in the direction of similar recordings??

It's a pretty unique record in many ways but in a similar mood, you could try:

Bill Frisell - The Sweetest Punch - arrangements of the Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach record, Painted from memory
Bill Frisell - Big Sur - great slice of Americana
Pat Metheny - One Quiet Night - solo acoustic
John Scofield - Quiet
Marc Johnson - Swept Away

And the song - Is This America? from Rambling Boy by Charlie Haden

Hope this helps.
Mark.

Hi Mark, thanks for the list. I will certainly explore them......interestingly for me, I do not know Any of them, so lots to explore. !

In a similarly contemplative vein, I would also recommend the following duet albums:

Art Pepper/George Cables:  Goin' Home & Tête-À-Tête ( the great man's swansong with his favoured accompanist of his final years)
Gary Peacock/Ralph Towner:  A Closer View
Gary Peacock/Marc Copland:  Insight
Marc Copland/John Abercrombie:  Speak To Me

Thanks MCQ. Again all new to me, so a nice listening project for the while

Saw both Haden and Rubalcaba at the Cork Jazz Festival but never together sadly.
