On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Dug this out from one of my external HDD's
On CD, because I wanted to listen to something majestic, which Duke's orchestra in full flow always is.
Vinyl released 1982 - Peter Erskine's solo debut has a list of names to be interested in. Erskine is a brilliant drummer with experience in big-band Jazz and Fusion. Tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker and pianist Kenny Kirkland stand out as excellent performers. A great album of lively post-bop. 8)

First album played with my new Linn Klimax DSM/2 Katalyst, sounds mighty fine!
On CD. I haven't heard this in absolutely ages - it was quite the thing to be playing back in 1990. Sill sounds very good.
The Very Best of Andy Fairweather Low - Tidal
Off to see him in Bury tonight, and I thought I’d better have a listen. It’s very well made pop-rock, looking forward to an evening of songs I haven’t heard for decades.
Antonio Forcione - Live!
Bonkers good.

If you get the chance to see (& hear) him live, & more so if you have an idea how to play guitar, then he really is serious bonkers good, what he can do with six strings & a wooden box makes my head spin.

Yup, discouragingly good for those of us lesser mortals with aspirations! 
Cara Dillon - Sweet Liberty
Listening to the purity of Cara's singing is a great way to de-stress.
Lyle Lovett - Joshua Judges Ruth
Typical LL, brilliant inna bonkers stylee.

Nigel, being retired and listening to Cara Dillion is about as stress free as it gets.
Released 1998 - From beautiful to funky, percussive to melodic, improvisational to tightly arranged, Hancock and cohorts take a wondrous journey through the music and world of Gershwin. Great album ????
James Burton - The Guitar Sounds Of.
Playing on Vinyl -The Stems Australian Paisley Underground Psych from 1986 - The single Love Will Grow is fabulous

Not a stressful day compared to those that are not retired, but was in the thick of it with the chainsaw today ......Cara is new to me, the vocals are lovely. Will investigate further.

Anything you say Gazza, now put the chainsaw down.
BTW, my favourite Cara Dillon album is her latest, Wanderer, so I suggest you include a listen to this in your investigation.
Based on the above posts just listening to Cara on Tidal....very nice and relaxing, and I am retired...
Well after the comments it had to be played.
Vinyl released 1986 - Lovett's debut album and a fine one too. 8)
