April 17, 20233 yr Because reasons. Happy Moods Ahmad Jamal 1960 https://album.link/i/1443907095 Example: Sad, but this helps. RIP and thanks Ahmad.
April 17, 20233 yr On that note... https://www.npr.org/2022/12/13/1142467098/emerald-city-nights-revisits-jazz-pianist-ahmad-jamal-in-a-series-from-the-1960s
April 17, 20233 yr New to me: For The Sake Of The Rhyme Madison Cunningham 2018 https://album.link/i/1455275366 Example: I really enjoyed the blues and strong voice. And it seems that they have something to say. It was only 25 minutes, so I moved on to the second 2018 release - much more in the acoustic side. Love, Lose, Remember Madison Cunningham 2018 https://album.link/i/1219398671 Example: Added to my artist list and will check out recent releases.
April 23, 20233 yr Human The Double Album Cody Johnson 2021 https://album.link/i/1582024378 Example: I didn't have any expectations going into this one. Just listening to a pile of country albums off my list (most not worthy). And this stuck out for me. Nice dynamics and storytelling. With combinations of blues and other influences. And throw in a Willie Nelson duet, and I was good to go. Very satisfying for what I wanted.
April 23, 20233 yr Rendez-Vous Jean-Michel Jarre 1986 https://album.link/i/1027735025 Example: Everything's fine? Everything is fine. It doesn't sound like it is fine Jean-Michel. It's fine. Okay... {doesn't sound fine} It has been a long time since I have listened to this (decades). Spending most of my time listening to Zoolook over the years with it's audiophile goodness. Rendez-Vous has a much more ominous soundtrack feel to it.

Spending most of my time listening to Zoolook over the years with it's audiophile goodness. Rendez-Vous has a much more ominous soundtrack feel to it. Well...let's look at "Souvenir" (from his The Concerts in China album) -- his ground-breaking trip to China from all accounts was full of joy and positive memories...so why does "Souvenir" sound so sad? Answer: because he's French. It doesn't sound sad, it sounds French. I have this from my History Of Music professor. Back to Rendez-Vous -- this album was also the one with the ill-fated saxophonist Ron McNair who was supposed to record his part from space...on the space shuttle, Challenger. I think that might've flavoured the overall tone of the album.
April 24, 20233 yr Rodrigo y Gabriela - In Between Thoughts...A New World. As long as these two keep making albums, I'll keep listening to them! Bought tickets to see them when they come through town this summer.

Especially these albums...
April 25, 20233 yr Too many reasons this year: Swing Dat Hammer Harry Belafonte 1960 https://album.link/i/1087732644 Example: Still in awe of that voice. RIP Harry - thank you...
April 26, 20233 yr The Poll Winners Ride Again! Barney Kessel, Shelly Manne, Ray Brown 1959 https://album.link/i/1444008734 Example: This Jazz is so jazzy. In the best way. Great gathering and set. There is still a lot of magic to be found in 1959.

April 28, 20233 yr Yaya Kim, a.k.a Yaya -- where K-pop meets prog Black Nail Cabaret, Pseudopop -- where electrogoth meets prog -- really immaculate, her voice reminds me of that girl who sang with Tricky...uh...Martina Topley-Bird! Yeah, that's it...
