Fergus McCreadie: Stream

It's kind of miraculous to me that anyone can continue to find inventive ways to present the vanilla piano trio, but, man they still keep doing it, don't they? The Scottish pianist McCreadie breathes a full lungful of Scott-folk life into the standard jazz trope and it's pretty dang great, I must say. Enjoy!

The Waeve: City Lights

British indie duo formed by meeting-of-the-minds of Graham Coxon and Rose Elinor Dougall. This one is sprawling in its sound, almost every track sounds like it could be a different band. Somehow they almost all work, with a warm, loose energy. Enjoy!

Arun Ramamurthy Trio: New Moon

Arun is a carnatic violinist and his trio ably mixes Indian classical with jazz in inventive ways. The album is inspired by his grandmother. His trio is occasionally psychedelic in the truest sense, occasionally groovy and is very inspired indeed. Enjoy!

JR Bohannon & Dave Shuford: Reclined in the Haze

Two-guitar mindwander. Light lilting musical vignettes don't quite ever become fully formed ideas, often trailing into nothing unbothered... and are better for it. Find your zones. Enjoy!

John Craigie: Greatest Hits... Just Kidding... Live

Craigie is the rare singer-songwriter who kind of must be seen live to fully appreciate his genius. A live album is the next best thing and his latest perfectly captures how his banter and songwriting are two sides of the same expert storytelling coin. He's hilarious and touching and thoughtful. Enjoy!

Patricia Brennan Septet: Breaking Stretch

Not all vibraphone is light and dreamt and, backed by a killer band, Brennan takes her instrument deep, often buried deep under horns and explosive rhythms. Occasionally chaotic, occasionally straight Latinjazzgroove. Enjoy!

The Soundcarriers: Through Other Reflections

Brit quartet makes retro rock music. Little too on the nose? Sure, I guess, but what's good is good & these guys have always been pretty damn good. And their sound is much more expansive than just a retread of the familiar. Easy Tropicalia,dreamy grooves. Never understood why they aren't bigger. Enjoy!

New Masada Quartet: Vol 3 (live)

One of John Zorn's most formidable Masada lineups captured live in all their chaotic, mindblowing glory. And also features some of the best guitar playing I've heard in a while, Julian Lage at his finest. Zorn being Zorn, the entire set streams as a single track, but worth listening to end-to-end.

Vastly underrated songwriter Eef Barzelay who's been playing as Clem Snide for decades also has ongoing covers project and it's remarkable how his voice and cadence reimagine these stripped down old favorites. If you dig the opening track - a take on All Along the Watchtower that sounds like a completely diff song - you'll dig it all. Enjoy!

First of all, I love the name of this band. Glad they're still around because it's been a while. Second of all, they freakin rock

Levi J Burr: Bucolic Confection

Folks playing sublime guitar music are dime a dozen these days, but some still stand out. This one dabbles in the easy-to-love loveliness of American primitive (by way of Australia), but he's seasoned it with several guests who add deliciousness, like lots of pedal/lap steel. This is music to ease your mind. Enjoy!

Discovered these guys a few years ago w/ their killer debut & kinda forgot about em but they're back w/ a was-no-fluke follow up.

@Neddyo Love this one! One of my favorite albums of the year.
@Neddyo @buffyleigh I recently learned about Mong Tong, two dudes who play music while blindfolded, wild!
@soundclamp @Neddyo Lol, I did not know that they did that, I hadn't seen videos or photos of them playing before! I always make sure to grab their releases on vinyl though, always a good spin.

@buffyleigh
@soundclamp

In Brooklyn last week...

@Neddyo @buffyleigh Jealous! They played in San Francisco this week but I’m still hobbling around with a walker or wheelchair.
@buffyleigh @Neddyo I have a love/hate relationship with vinyl lately. Getting way too expensive.
@Neddyo This is most excellent, thanks for posting!
