Fabulist!

Nick Jaina has discovered an abalone cross during an archaeological dig at San Juan Bautista Mission, written a jazz opera about a funeral parade in New Orleans, and drummed for the band The Be Good Tanyas. Yes, he has lived an interesting and productive life, and now he's made it all the more interesting and productive with the release of his new album, Wool (coming March 11).

A collection of lush, intimate, piano-driven "ballads and lullabies," Wool has been on repeat in my house for two days straight, with no end in sight. Especially "Maryanne"--I love a song that starts with counting. Especially when it's a waltz.
