Dub Modal

The Shabaka is surprisingly short (only about 28 mins) but very much a good listen. It’s got a serene mood about it, so could be situation specific.

Brand new today I think. Solo album from Shabaka Hutchings. Heavy meditative vibes so far.

I’ll have to check this one out. Glover’s recent solo album didn’t impress much but I’ve heard live recordings that were much better.

Ah, then it was the other way around

Aren’t there a few tracks on that in Mosaic that didn’t make that Clef/Norgran Quintets box? I don’t have either (guess I could check on discogs but that site has been having issues lately)

Track 6: is this Sunny Murray with Grachan Moncur and Roscoe Mitchell? The track Unity from Hommage to Africa? Track 7: is the bass player the leader?

Prompted by the Newport Jazz Festival thread, listening to this one from 2021. Classic vocal style in a contemporary setting. Really enjoying Pasquale Grasso's guitar playing too. Ari Roland on bass and Kenny Washington on drums.

An unforgettable appearance a few years later on Seinfeld as well. "What the hell is a Velvet Fog???"

A Samara Joy tune just popped up on the radio show I’m listening to. First time I’ve heard her sing and it was an enjoyable number.

The thing about this line up is that most listed are today’s “major label” artists for the genre.

Seems like it. It's the newer version of Daffy, basically Bugs Bunny with a lisp. Nothing beats his original characterization but I guess that was a harder sell.

Aw, he made Cyclops cry!

Yeah, using PayPal for preorders can be problematic.

I can’t figure out Shining Girls. The guy is psychic traveling?
