Coming back to say: god DAMN the Nala album is a knockout. Top 3 AOTY for me so far. My LP came in last week, and it’s been perfect for one of my favorite pastimes (having the windows open in the early Fall and smoking with my dog [she doesn’t smoke]).

 

Last few mornings I have done the triple header of Nala>SML>Rich Ruth to wake up and it's been perfect

 

Love those first two, haven’t listened to Rich. Checking it tomorrow!

 

New Ezra! In the UK, it's currently pissing it down, so perfect weather for an upbeat, summery jazz album...

 

great pair of collab albums dropped today, with Von Spar, Eiko Ishibashi, Joe Talia, Tatsuhisa Yamamoto. if you liked the Nala record, you'll probably like this

 

I know Yamamoto and Eiko from their work with Jim O'Rourke, definitely adding those

 

Album II reminds me of some of the head-trippy shit that comes out from Astral Industries in that it feels more like a journey to an imaginary place than a song

 

This is great

 

Listening to this blissed out French progressive jammer from the 70’s. Starts off feeling like it’s on an ECM/ambient-jazz type vibe but then veers into some interesting, trippy places you wouldn’t expect.

 

well that sounds like i'd like it

 

Forever in awe of everything this man created.

 

Excited to get to these later today.

Wilkins isn’t on Bandcamp, and Sorey seems to be streaming exclusively on Apple Music.

 

Also these...

 

And this:

 

Also also this…

 

Gentle hypnotism

 

Also posting in the ambient thread. Incredible nocturnal fourth-world, ECM-adjacent shit. Mesmerizing loops and ripples from front-to-back.

 

Picked up a bunch of shit from a vintage vinyl sale and got two Lonnie Liston Smith albums for cheap, thinking it was some different artist. Never listened to him before but just threw this one on and it's fucking great

 

Looooove some Lonnie. His whole 70s run is insanely good.

 

I listened to Reflections of a Golden Dream last night and it was also lovely, though I think I liked Renaissance more on first impression. It seems I prefer his spiritual jazz side more than the funk (though some of those tracks are fun).

 

did you think he was Dr Lonnie Smith

both legends tbh

 

Came out a week or two ago but just hit streaming today.

 

I thought he was Linton Kwesi Johnson who is a reggae/dub artist and a poet who merged the two art forms. Boundary-pushing stuff that doesn't even remotely sound like Lonnie, and their names aren't similar either (both start with L and have middle names I guess). I just wasn't paying attention lol.

 

This is correct

 

Love it, just like her last one. Seeing her in 3 bands 3 nights in a row in a December
