Enjoyed speaking to Kamasi Washington about his new record and the legacy of ‘The Epic’ - and to George Clinton and Flea about Kamasi!

Only two chapters in, and I’ve already learned a lot re: CT’s early life/education that I never knew. It’s easy to overlook the origin story when it comes to an artist of his brilliance, but this book really digs through the archives & walks you through it. Highly intrigued!

Jeremy Pelt’s ‘Griot’ books have brought me so much joy and enrichment in recent years. An honor to speak to Jeremy about how they were born - and to reflect on the legacy of another favorite, Arthur Taylor’s ‘Notes and Tones’ - for this new piece: nytimes.com/2024/04/15/art…
Reviewed the new Shabaka. Really enjoyed spending time with this one - a quiet yet insistent album that really brings you onto its wavelength

This one is really lifting my spirits today. Take a cue from Brad & give it a spin… What a magical lineup, uniting some of the mightiest currents in the scene circa ‘70. History sometimes focuses on silos and factions within jazz, but all these legends were way bigger than that

A pleasure to put down some words on this important new Alice Coltrane find. Divides neatly into two halves - the first reinforces what we already know/love about the ‘Journey in Satchidananda’ period; the second, though, is a real revelation. More at the link below!

The heaviest Sabbath song. Bill sounds like he’s trudging through slime, Tony and Geezer alternate brontosaurus riffing with hallucinatory gloom, and Ozzy (despite bringing the onstage energy of a hype man at an epic keg party) wails like the loneliest man on earth

What a band! Still processing all that music but will just say: check them out Fri-Sun if at all possible. @DouglasDezron @vanguardjazz
Bought an obscure 1971 Gene Ammons LP over the weekend, absolutely loved it, and started thinking about the ways in which the jazz canon can obscure an unassuming sort of excellence -- new DFSBP post here: open.substack.com/pub/darkforces…

Sad to report that @AlanLightNYC and I were the only ones who cosplayed at the Let It Be screening last night.
today is the 50th anniversary of Richard and Linda Thompson’s beautiful and terrifying ‘I Want to See the Bright Lights’ tonight. I’m quite proud of my piece about it from a few years ago, which you can read here: pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
Entirely trivial, of course, but even so I get a small kick out of the fact that I share a birthday with Percy Heath, Abdul Wadud, and Wayne Kramer.
achieved my longtime goal of finally getting a spencer clark review in p4k. to all my typhonian highlifers out there, this one’s for you 🐸 for anyone not yet indoctrinated into the cult, it’s not too late to drink the kool-aid pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…
I enjoyed Zoh Amba's alternating bellows and benedictions last night at Cafe Oto (on piano and sax simultaneously at one point), fuelled by the percussive bass and guitar work of Farida Amadou and the human whirlwind drumming of Chris Corsano.
LOVED working with @WritingSeth on this one. He's a fantastic writer, so I'd read anything he writes, but this story really had me on the edge of my seat since the first pitch!
Ever wonder what it's like to witness a plane hijacking? In today's story drop, @WritingSeth goes deep and takes us inside of one from 1972, scene by scene. narratively.com/p/anatomy-of-a… #DeepDives #LongformWriting
An excellent piece to read on International Jazz Day: @DarkForcesSwing on the bassist Luke Stewart: nytimes.com/2024/04/29/art…
Was a thrill to have wrote abt this incredible album by Phil Ranelin on @orgmusiclabel for @nycjazzrecord! I first discovered Phil’s music when I was sent two of his CDs reissued on Hefty Records back in 2001… who here remembers Hefty?! It was John Hughes’ son’s label
Big thanks to @thebradacohan and @nycjazzrecord for the great review of Phil Ranelin's "The Found Tapes: Live in Los Angeles"! The release is available now as a 4xLP box, 3xCD set, and digitally. orgmusic.com/collections/ph…

I don't blame record stores for wanting to be neat & tidy but there's something special about a place like the Double Nickels Collective in Tempe where all the stock is out of control & overflowing & you have to step over boxes of LPs & and you get to pet a dog.

Really enjoyed @DarkForcesSwing's interview w/ John Stanier, but still not feeling Betty. Killed live tho. First two albums are just about perfect for what they are, I don't need much else. Saw Stanier at the Howl Arts Pyramid thing and I always forget how tall dude is.
