(I am giving the same person 3 albums - Kind of Blue, Music for 18 Musicians, and Wilco Sky Blue Sky.) My music gifts pretty much all fall flat, but I've got hopes that at least one of these three will be a hit with this particular uncle-in-law. heh, I am giving Kind of Blue this year.

Everyone I've ever given it to has loved it. If we talking anything at all - The Blue Nile - Hats. I don't give this one out as often, much more consideration needed. But when I do I'm nearly always rewarded with a recognition it's a standout piece of work, a true masterpiece, and therefore undying gratitude from the recipient at me having introduced them to something so beautiful.

The one I've paid full retail for most often? Probably "Lost In the Stars: A Tribute to Kurt Weill." The album that got me through high school!

It's an album that truly transcends its genre -- a jazz album for people who may know nothing about jazz, one that will open doors into the world of jazz (damn, just Miles Davis is a world of music), or simply the one jazz album to own if you only have one jazz album. Just about eceryone I've ever given this album to has adored it. And it's one I constantly return to. The album I’ve given most often as a gift is Kind of Blue, by Miles Davis.
