So, What Are You Listening To NOW?

GoGo Penguin - v2.0

Listening out of interest only. I'm all for a wide and evolving conception of jazz, but something in me baulks at including music like this. It’s a lot better than some of their other records, though. Less insipid, and more fast bits or rhythmic bits.

Now onto:

Gerald Cleaver, Brandon Lopez (2), Hprizm – In The Wilderness

This one is great. Happy memories of listening to AntiPop Consortium back in the day but this is even better. The same feel but fewer failed experiments or lame rhymes.

The sublime "Fourth of July," written by Dennis, sung by Carl, and omitted from the Surf's Up album.

I’m impressed by its variety of execution considering the nature of the trio. As you see in the notes, Samo has a pretty illustrious background when it comes to his hard-work ethic. You don’t have to actually know the poems or the poet mentioned in order to fully enjoy their interactions (plus, you’ll notice that there’s nothing actually recited). It’s something I’d return to at least a few more times.

Thank you!

[rostasi]

You’re welcome. Here’s an interesting interview
and info about Samo‘s interview channel that he has.
