Completely missed this, came out in 2022, originally recorded in 1977 and never released or maybe only in Brazil. Joyce Moreno aka Joyce is one of my favorite 🇧🇷 singers. I only previously was aware of one track from this album, “feminina,” a funky 11min flute workout that was on a compilation called “A Trip to Brazil.” Arranged by Claus Ogerman, who worked with Jobim and Frank Sinatra, the whole album is really beautiful, I can’t believe it exists. https://joycemoreno.bandcamp.com/album/natureza-produced-arranged-conducted-by-claus-ogerman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-15XzOQQ2w

Hey, what’s going on with jazz? New piece for Aquarium Drunkard. https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2024/02/28/jazz-ragas-for-restless-times/

“At this year’s NYC Winter Jazzfest, the dominant forms veered into New Age & ambient territory: abstract, pretty, burbling along in loose conglomerations of synths and ‘organic’ instrumentation.”

Jazz Ragas For Restless Times : Aquarium Drunkard

At this year's NYC Winter Jazzfest, the dominant forms veered into New Age and ambient territory: abstract, pretty, burbling along in loose conglomerations of synths and “organic” instrumentation. And maybe jazz comingling with New Age sensibilities is exactly the antidote we need for today's troubling times.

just remembering that time #pitchfork let me write about the reissue of ned lagin's "seastones" & rate it 8.0. https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/ned-lagin-seastones/

Ned Lagin: Seastones

An expanded new mix of an overlooked, misunderstood 1975 electronic “biomusic” opus—featuring mysterious contributions from Jerry Garcia, David Crosby, Phil Lesh, and others—finally gives the record its due.
