I had a gig up in Palo Alto yesterday, so I stopped by my
favorite Northern CA LP and stereo shop, The Analog Room
in San Jose.

LP Bigotry noted.

So many new LPs on display, I could have
spent a bloody fortune.

You could have even had CDs if you did your homework, Jenn.

I settled on 6, new and used:

New:
Stacey Kent: Dreamsville Candid Records

I know that I'm not supposed to know about these things
because I'm an "ivory tower professor" at a "rural
community college", but this is GREAT female jazz vocal
singing. And the recording is simply marvelous, in a
"singer and combo is in the room with you" kind of way.
Very highly recommended.
