Some Classic Soul
There's something about Soul music of the 1960s and '70s. A lot of heart, and, er . . soul was poured into those tunes. A gastropub full of millenials and Gen-xers had a streaming-service-version of this music playing, but Mix Jedi does it so much better.

Album Stack
Here's the top of the Mix Jedi album stack. These are the albums recommended by our curators. Feel free to listen along with us.
Brahms: Double Concerto for Violin & Cello in A Minor, Op. 102 - Fischer/Kreizberg (2007)
A remarkable testament to the composer's mature style. It stands as a unique work in the concerto repertoire as a piece that showcases two instruments: the violin and cello. Fischer and her partner Daniel Müller-Schott are absolutely on the same musical wavelength delivering a blisteringly intense performance.

Out Of Time by R.E.M. (1991)
This album marks R.E.M.'s transition from college rock favorites to mainstream superstars. With polished production, eclectic musical style, and introspective lyrics, the album is both accessible and inventive, helping cement R.E.M.'s reputation as one of the most influential bands of the era.

Wild God by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (2024)
This stands out as a more uplifting record in Cave's catalog, with recurring themes of love, loss, and spiritual reflection. The album's tone is both "joyous" and "unchained," reflecting Cave's reconciliation with personal tragedies. He makes use of poetic storytelling - balancing grand, emotional lyricism with grounded, everyday language.

Tea For The Tillerman by Cat Stevens (1970)
With themes of spirituality, self-discovery, and connection to nature, its timeless appeal has made this album a classic in the folk-rock genre. The album's emotional depth, catchy melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics make it one of his masterpieces.

Bach: Violin Concerto in D Minor, BWV 1052R - Faust/Alte Musik Berlin (2019)
Bach's violin concertos have a strong Italian flavor, though they go way beyond the Italian model in their outstanding craftsmanship and expressiveness. This performance perfectly combines what the two key facets of Faust's musicianship – that sense of being a messenger for the composer, and her profound scholarship and research. Her tone is both lean and exquisitely sweet.

Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 5 - Rubinstein/Barenboim (2005)
Rubinstein is considered by many the standard-bearer for performance of this concerto. His interpretation is spot-on and his performance is lyrical and unstrained.

Abraxas by Santana (1970)
The crossroads of Latin dance music and rock; a zone of endless roiling percussion, magical extended guitar journeys, and rhythm that swayed like the hips of Mother Earth herself. Here, the group stretches in ways far more imaginative than the '90s jam bands ever did.

Speak Kindly of Your Volunteer Fire Department by Robert Pollard with Doug Gillard (1999)
This is the one "solo" release by Bob Pollard that is absolutely on par with the best GBV albums. The secret ingredients here are Pollard's impressionistic yet relatable lyrics and the musical partnership of guitarist Doug Gillard, who proves himself as the Keith Richards that Pollard's Mick Jagger has needed all along: a nimble guitarist who takes Pollard's diamond-in-the-rough talent and polishes it just enough to let it shine.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd (1975)
Featuring David Gilmour's emotive guitar work and Roger Waters' incisive lyrics, this is a reflective masterpiece that explores themes of absence, loss, and the impact of the music industry, with a particular focus on former band member Syd Barrett.

Bringing It All Back Home by Bob Dylan (1965)
Bringing It All Back Home was a pivotal album for Bob Dylan. It's the record where he made his tentative steps toward rock, while not fully abandoning the topical songwriting on which he made his name. The album features an electric half of songs, followed by a mostly acoustic half, while abandoning the protest music of Dylan's previous records in favor of more surreal, complex lyrics.

Good News For People Who Love Bad News by Modest Mouse (2004)
This is the project where Modest Mouse evolved their sound without sacrificing their distinctively quirky and introspective identity. This album has a refined sound which incorporates lush arrangements, including brass and strings, alongside Isaac Brock's sharp lyrics and dynamic vocal delivery. It also spawned a couple radio-friendly hits.

Leon by Leon Bridges (2024)
Personal songs delivered with a positivity that's sorely needed in 2024, wrapped in a retro-soul style with production that has the best aspects of retro and modern sound.
