  1. I was turned on to this recently by Tyler King's substack and have been quite taken with the record. Commissioned by a Catholic church, so I think it's well qualified to be called 'spiritual'.
  2. Congratulations man! Look forward to hearing it.
  3. I wouldn't personally draw much of a line there at all, to me the are almost entirely overlapping.
  4. I don’t recall the specific reference in the book and won’t speak to zen or meditation specifically, but to me the Great American Songbook is a highly spiritual catalog of human emotion; sort of a ‘Secular Hymnal’. I recently took a position as accompanist at a little country church and it’s been a crash course in traditional hymns. I think standards work on the same level as hymns, though to me are superior in their metaphysical effect.
  5. Just ran across this on youtube, to my ears they did an exceptional job fixing it up. Even the crowd noise sounds good!

    Glad to share! Blue Laker from the 1990s myself, one of my best childhood memories for sure.

    I defer to his ears for sure. Was happy to hear him on NPR recently: https://www.npr.org/2023/11/22/1197958759/fresh-air-draft-11-22-2023 Tiptoe Tap Dance?
  8. If you like your funk French and/or 'Modern'.

    I'm not certain, but it sounds a bit like the changes to 'I Never Knew' by Gus Kahn. The melody is also somewhat reminiscent.
  10. I heard an old Benny Golson interview recently where he recounts first meeting Coltrane: he was known then around Philly as the young guy who could sound just like Johnny Hodges.
  11. As a country boy, most cities have sort of a scary, dystopian vibe anyway so the modern/brutal architecture fits perfectly in sense. I do lament the loss of local 'vernacular' architecture though. I'd much rather see something like log home, Norwegian farmhouse style, or even Mountain Chalet style, built in my area of the upper midwest, but the 'International Style' is all you see anymore.
  12. It's funny this thread has been bumped just now. I've been trying some of these stretches mentioned and just last week I realized I can now hit some minor 10ths. Hard to see how I could go much further, but I guess that's what I thought when I could only hit 9s.
