The allure of shuffle mode XCV

I've had these three CDs in my library for years but had never thought to segue these three tunes.  iTunes shuffle mode did, however, resulting in an elegant late night jazz set:

  • Nocturne-Toots Thielemans
  • Waltz For Monk-Mulgrew Miller
  • Twilight Mist-Lee Morgan
I especially like that a different lead instrument takes command on each track, from harmonica to piano to trumpet, while maintaining a compatible flow with the track before or after it.  If I programmed a jazz station, I'd play these three instrumentals in a row.
