So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

Marcus Strickland Twi-Life Group – Open Reel Deck (2007)

I dismissed this at the time, thinking it was part of the then-burgeoning jazz subgenre of 'theoretically young 30 year old impresses old people by doing supposedly young thing that the old people don't know is out of date'. It does have some of the trappings, like the subpar hip hop, but on revisiting it, I enjoy it quite a lot more than I did.

Bob Dylan “The Bootleg Series Vol. 17: Fragments – Time Out of Mind Sessions (1996–1997)”

This is a fascinating box set. I’m listening to the remix of “Time Out of Mind” in this set at the moment. This opinion runs contrary to most that I read but I prefer the original mix. . . though I can like this one as an alternate window into the music. The original has a magic that drew me in and revived interest in Dylan’s music for me though, it will always live in my heart as a masterwork.

Brother Jack McDuff “Moon Rappin’” Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

A fun album.

This was mislaid for a while and I found it under my listening chair!

A funky remake of a classic Chico Barque album with amazing trombone! By the daughter of Joyce and Nelson Angelo, quite a family background.

Santana “Borboletta” Columbia LP

A great album and the OG LP sounds great. A gorgeous cover to see and hold in your hands as well.
