Discovered these two this week and enjoyed both quite a bit:

 

Was listening to Alice Coltrane earlier. Thought it was for the first time. Until I looked at last.fm and noticed I listened to her about 10 years ago. I had no idea

 

Went and saw Makaya McCraven last night and him and his band put on a killer show. Theon Cross was a part of his band too which was a really nice surprise.

 

Been really digging Alphonse Mouzon and Tommy Bolin on this great fusion record.

 

Currently obsessed with The Comet is Coming. That new album is grade a crack and I want it in my veins now please.

 

who knew there is a Joni Mitchell live album (opening for Mingus) with Pat Metheney, Jaco, and the rest of Pat's band which includes a Bitches' Brew alumnus. Sounds wild haven't heard it yet tho

Shadows and Light (Joni Mitchell album) - Wikipedia

 

I got that on vinyl accidentally, someone gave me a big batch and that was one of the gems in it.

 

My current obsession has been all things Nubya Garcia. Her album 5ive from a couple years back might be my favorite from that entire scene. Also love her work on the Maisha and Nerija albums. She’s all over the place.

 

Nothing has beat Alive In The East? for me yet but 5ive might be #2 from that scene. It kicks ass

 

Yeah the past 2 Binker & Moses albums are both awesome. Binker Golding put out a solo album earlier this year, but it wasn’t really my cup of tea.

 

I have to give it more listens. Its pretty avante garde inspired which I dig but sometimes needs closer listening. Iirc it does get a lot more melodic on the backend...might spin that again today

 

Oh yeah, new Christian Scott came out this week too

 

Planning to get to the Christian Scott and The Comet Is Coming albums soon.

 

just found out there's an album with Hiromi and Stanley Clarke

 

god DAMN do i want to hear Mehldau play the rhodes

 

looks like there's another album he plays rhodes on....

(I think this is the same band? also has Guiliana at least)

 

wow the single kicks ass

 

Checked out The Comet is Coming based on Melon's review. Holy crap this is cool.

 

New Ashley Henry.

 

New Ruby Rushton out today is real nice.

 

losing my mind over thsi collection

 

Just found out about Twin Talks. Very good stuff and has a member of Bon Iver in it.

 

legendary

 

There is a new Brazillian Netflix show about a woman who opens a Bossa Nova club in 1950s Rio. It’s called Coisa Mais Linda. Good music in that show.

 

Didn’t know whether to put in here or RnB, but listened to Kadhja Bonet the other day and really dug it. Probably suited to here more than the RnB thread as there’s a lot of really chilled jazzy moments.
