Wednesday nights are for the listeners. Join host Teddy Dibble as we move beyond the background noise and drop the needle on the albums that define Jazz. Grab a drink and settle in for a deep, uninterrupted listen. Following the format of our spIN Focus series, each session begins with a brief introduction to set the stage before the music takes over.

From the foundational swing of Armstrong to the avant-garde edges of Ayler, we explore essential works and hidden gems in their entirety. No skips, no distractions—just the music as it was meant to be heard on The Listyning Room’s world-class audio system.

Explore the sophisticated architecture of Oliver Nelson’s 1961 masterwork "The Blues and the Abstract Truth". This session highlights a landmark of modern jazz that balances intellectual rigor with deep, soulful expression. Rediscover the record that redefined the blues through a lens of high-fidelity, analog sound.

Regarded as one of the most intellectually stimulating yet accessible albums of the hard-bop era, this session explores Nelson’s genius as an arranger. Our introduction will spotlight the "all-star" lineup—including Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard, and Eric Dolphy—and discuss how Nelson reimagined the structure of the blues on tracks like the iconic "Stolen Moments." By listening to the record in its entirety, you’ll hear how the intricate horn voicings and sophisticated harmonies create a singular, cinematic atmosphere. Settle in and rediscover why this Impulse! classic remains a definitive study in the art of the ensemble and a cornerstone of the jazz canon.

Doors 6:30 PM | Intro &amp; Listen at 7:00 PM
