LOL. At office drafting documents listening to Wake of the Flood 50th Deluxe with door open. Just as Donna wails away on live Playing in the Band , Pt. 2, one of our young associates walking by stopped dead in her tracks looking at me wide-eyed.

Getting that glide in my stride and a dip in my hip heading up to the Mothership. #supergroovalistic

#NowPlaying. Lee Morgan with a top flight band. Mabern, Maupin, Merritt and Roker.

I’m ready for Herbie and the Headhunters for 50th Anniversary show at Hollywood Bowl this week. The Herbie pic is from opening night of 2022 Summerstage in Central Park.

Herbie Hancock live tonight! #headhunters50th

#NowPlaying Ben Felton A Lot (2024, Island House Recordings) on headphones. @Islandhouserecs

#NowPlaying Zachary Cale. Duskland (No Quarter, 2015).

Born on this day, the very great, singular genius, Wayne Shorter Shorter. Words are an inadequate means of expressing the depth of his humanity - you can hear it all in his music. Barche Lamsel

Sunday morning listens. Wayne Shorter and Dave Douglas.

10 days or so ago, I knew absolutely nada about Starflyer 59. Now, thanks to Jason P. Woodbury and aquarium drunkard, I'm absolutely obsessed with the work of Jason Martin. Lust for Gold is a glorious record and there's a lot more to deep dive.

Saturday morning spins. Mary Timony.

#NowPlaying The Drin. Elude the Torch. Love this new record. Sprawling, psychedelic post-punk masterpiece follows up the excellent Today My Friend You Drunk the Venom. Dylan McCartney deserves much wider recognition. daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the-d…

#NowPlaying Husker Du - Flip Your Wig (SST Records, 1985)

In 87 or 88, I told a buddy I needed to know jazz so he made me a tape with Miles Smiles on side A and ESP on side B. Greatest gift ever. #Jazz

#sundayvibes The Necks, McCoy Tyner and Roy Brooks

#NowPlaying J Jazz: Deep Modern Jazz from Japan (2021, BBE Music). All four compilations are essential. Now, I need to pull the trigger and buy the big book. #jjazz #japanesejazz @TheJazzDad BBE Music

#NowPlaying Jeff Parker ETA IVet. Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy (Eremite Records, 2022).

Can, Swim Ignorant Fire and Maya Ongaku on the headphones this rainy morning. @Islandhouserecs can do no wrong. If Tim was a sports franchise, we’d be talking dynasty shit with this winning streak he’s on. #SaturdayVibes
