Just been to see The Comet Is Coming’s last ever London show. It was amazing but also bittersweet considering that Shabaka is retiring from playing the sax. Got a few vids on my IG (https://instagram.com/the_paulo?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==)if anyone wants to see. They’re not brilliant, but good enough haha
Jaimie Branch's last album is unsurprisingly great, but bittersweet all things considering. She's left us with a great collection of albums, though.
I don’t know enough about Jazz to know if this is an obvious recommendation or not, but I discovered this a few months ago and have listened to it so many times since. Really, really good.
Keith Jarrett's Sun Bear sessions have a few parts that are absolutely grating, and then some brilliant stuff. The "Osaka - November 8" section is great.
Haven’t listened to as much jazz this year as in the past couple years but recently these 2 albums have really caught my attention.
Been enjoying the new Sunwatchers album lately. Not exactly jazz, but I saw them open for Sons of Kemet years back so close enough.
I figured it out haha! Glad to have you my tweets are basically just my posts in here combined with my posts in the politics thread combined with jam band stuff thats too esoteric to talk about here even in the joking way I do where I know no one cares but it's funny to me for that reason
