Cool. I didn't know he had a new one, but I really liked It Calls On Me from last year.

I need to get this. I like the cassingle quite a bit.

This is cool.



Yeah it's full of gems.

Hera them on Sirius the other day....Need to hear them...loved the two tracks I have heard....

Liking several things, but I'm just gonna mention a couple...

Alice Coltrane:Ecstatic Music, posthumous release compiled form things she released only as tapes traded around various ashrams during her later years of spiritual questing. Luka Bop did a really great job with gathering up the music and releasing the best of it, well-mastered and with full participation of the Coltrane family. Interesting mixture of Eastern music with her harp and organ cutting through. Also features her only recorded vocals.

Chuck Berry: Chuck, better than I anticipated frankly. From seeing him playing several times in the years leading up to his end, it didn't exactly look like he had much gas left in the tank, but this is a solid release. For me, the best parts are when he slows down a bit and doesn't try to recreate his tunes from his younger days when he simply was able to conjure up way more energy than he can now. Still, plenty of good stuff here.

Yeah, both are by dead people. Gonna hafta check into the other suggestions around here.

I don't have much.

Yazz Ahmed: La Saboteuse
Originally released as 4 separate EPs, compiled into a 2LP set with a beautiful embossed cover. Mesmerizing jazz with trumpet and flugelhorn. Blend of Arabic and spiritual jazz motifs. This will be hard to beat for my favorite 2017 jazz release. Fantastic music and a beautiful release.

Pulgas Pulgas

You should check out the Shugo Tokumaru, too. In the same kind of vein.

Finally getting around to listening to the new New Pornographers. I find it to be more of the same NP formula, and maybe even overproduced, but dang I really like it.

Also the new Beck singles are great.

anticipated fall listening - the new:
