Just heard about about Benny Golson's passing (September 24). 😢
Here is "Staccato Swing" from his 1959 album "Gone with Golson"
Was late to an event two nights ago because this was on the radio, and my friend and I simply COULD NOT leave the car until it was over.
Even if you're not into classical, put this on (preferably decent speakers or headphones) and see if you dig it.
Seriously, those piano runs near the end!
Liszt: Totentanz, S.126. Paraphrase on "Dies Irae"
Jean-Yves Thibaudet - Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal - Charles Dutoit
Get those toes a-tappin'.
Here is Honorary Astronaut with "Gold"
Not sure if I have a better word, but this song just... blooms.
Here is Chiara Dubey with "Amma"
For today's adventurous listening session:
Check out the full album "Inside the Cable Temple" by 万能青年旅店 [omnipotent youth society]
Style includes a mix of prog, jazz, contemplative and folk-rock, and it's one of my favorite albums of the last few years.

Wallow in this one, friend.
Here is "A Scarcity of Miracles" by Jakko Jakszyk, Robert Fripp and Mel Collins.
Small portion of lyrics from "I Trawl the Megahertz" (Prefab Sprout)
C'mon. Get up and be happy, even if only for 3 minutes and 12 seconds.
Here is Ezra Collective with "Shaking Body"
Working late.
It's a Michael Franks "When Sly Calls" kind of night:
Hey, it's Jazz Orchestra Appreciation Day!*
Here is the Alan Baylock Jazz Orchestra (with Doc Severinsen) performing "Torque"
*in my household
Start your day by getting some Air.
Here is Cherry Blossom Girl
Some days I just need a good ambient album in the background. Too many of them are boring or drone-like, but "I Could Be Your Dog/I Could Be Your Moon" is endlessly interesting to me. Whenever I hear this particular cut start, it relaxes me instantly.
Here is Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith with "Moon in Your Eye" (if it appeals to you, check out the whole album)
A great rendition of the first song in this video has reminded me that it's time for the annual watch-party for my all-time favorite movie.
Witness the greatness of The Tokyo Cuban Boys.
I really dig the way this guy weaves his multi-track trumpet tapestries.
It's AAESPO (Aaron Esposito) with "2"
The Funk is what gives music its power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.
You must feel the funk as it flows through you.
"Put it Down" by Otis McDonald, Mike Chiavaro and funkin' John Patitucci.
If this doesn't get your head boppin', check your pulse. Added bonus, here be vibes of some sort (intro)
Here is "Alakazam" by Sonny Ross.
@Bix has set my musical path for the day. (Thanks!) 🙂
Here is Cliff Nobles & CO with "The Camel"
