Soft Rock
"Soft Rock" is my favorite oxymoron. Yet, there's nothing like a dose of low- to moderate-intensity songs from the rock era that feature a nice variety and skillful songwriting.

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.
Octet and Originals by Antonio Adolfo (2022)
Late Night Brazilian Instrumentals with a Taste of Jazz and Bacharach. This sweet release showcases his own music. There’s a large dose of bossa and jazz here, but there are also nods in the direction of Burt Bacharach, hip 1960s movie soundtracks, and "quiet storm" funk.

Hersh: Concerto for Piano and Ten Instruments - Turner/Tom (2014)
A delightful modern piano concerto, full of ideas and images. The smaller orchestral ensemble is used effectively and creates a sense of intimacy with the soloist.

Prokofiev: Romeo and Juliet, Op.64 (excerpts) - Masur/Gewandhausorchester (1988)
This often-performed excerpted collection from Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet 3-part suites transforms the original's marathon into a coherent masterpiece with tremendous flow and orchestral scoring, at a very listenable length. Masur's rendering and the Phillips recording are a delight.

Perfect From Now On by Built To Spill (1997)
One of Built to Spill's best statements, this record evokes the sound of classic rock as much as it does indie rock. It has a timeless elements to it as well.

Bruckner: Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, WAB 109 - Pittsburg/Honeck (2019)
This symphony, unfinished at his death, features a rich tapestry of sound with profound themes of life and spirituality. Its unique structure includes only three movements, emphasizing emotional depth. The Scherzo is one of the most emotional and dynamic movements in the symphonic canon.

Leftoverture by Kansas (1976)
In Leftoverture, Kansas produced one of the most listenable and fun prog-rock albums of the era. It may or may not be concept-based, but it is definitely philosophical, inspired, and spiritual in a new-age lefty kind of way. All-in-all, it is a fine collection of songs with more universal themes than traditional rock and roll typically offers, delivered with real musicianship and stellar production.

Pärt: Tabula rasa - Bournemouth (2010)
A haunting, hypnotic double violin concerto that oscillates between fragile stillness and intense musical dialogue, embodying the raw vulnerability of a blank slate. It reflects on emptiness, potential, and the delicate balance between structure and spontaneity. The violins interact like two voices seeking understanding, creating a musical experience that is both intellectually rigorous and emotionally profound.

Rubber Soul by The Beatles (1965)
This is the beginning of the Beatles' serious studio adventuring, which brings with it more nuanced arrangements, trickier narrative entanglements, and trippier vocal harmonies. Above all, Rubber Soul is straight-up craft from a group of people who are at peak power but aren't interested in reinventing the wheel.

Haydn: Symphony No. 104 in D Major, Hob. I:104 - Minkowski/Louvre (2010)
The last of Haydn's London symphonies, this was composed during his second commission in London where he was enthusiastically invited to compose, perform, and enjoy his foreign celebrity.

Hotel California by The Eagles (1976)
Part of a long line of albums about the perils and perks of rock stardom, this is the band's comment on American decadence. It offers a confluence of muscular music and acidic lyrics that are unlike anything else the Eagles had done to that point; definitely the Eagles überstatement.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen (1982)
One-way transmissions from a distant, lonely place. The signals that come through on Nebraska crackle with electricity; sometimes it’s just a hum, and sometimes it seems like a circuit is going to explode. Recorded on a Tascam Portastudio, thus allowing him to capture his songwriting during his peak in creativity, and to deliver these songs in an uniquely intimate way.

Virtuoso by Joe Pass (1974)
Featuring interpretations of jazz standards, this is a landmark recording that revolutionized the way the guitar was played by simultaneously playing melody, bass lines, and solos, creating the impression of multiple guitars at once in a way that takes musicality to a new level.
