I'm appreciating this delightfully oblique sentence tucked into the liner notes for Luke Stewart's "Works for Upright Bass and Amplifier Vol. 2," available on the Astral Spirits label.

"To generate the performance, Luke Stewart uses specifically his own bass amplifier setup, which is not unlike any other typical bass and amplifier setup."

“Nature, oftentimes, is my respite. It’s a place to connect to wherever it is that we’re playing. Being in nature is also a way for me to connect to a place and a people. It allows me to think about the histories of particular places and particular locations and notice the importance of the moments where we are in the world. Nature is a very important aspect of my artistry. I definitely have a practice of, I’d say, spirit walking.“- Luke Stewart. ‘Unknown Rivers’ out now on Pi Recordings.

For the many who have lost their lives in the current, generations have seen

Pass Everything in My Soul: A Conversation with David Murray on ‘Francesca’ - PostGenre

The love song is one of the oldest and most primal forms of musical expression, dating back to ancient Greece, if not earlier. Charles Darwin even theorized that the love song was the first form of human musical expression. Of course, the emphasis on romance in songs has continued to the present day. It is

Luke Stewart Silt Trio - Unknown Rivers

Came to this via an article in the NYT, but bassist, bandleader and composer Stewart has been around a long time.

Opening track is a great way in, with a fat bass line intersecting with an almost hip-hop beat that cuts across it rhythmically, and a sax often doubling the bass.

The “trio” is a bit mixed, with different drummers on the A and B sides (both good, of course).
