    😊 This is such a wholesome conversation. Thanks for taking the time to listen. I’m pleased to hear that it hits you in the same way it does for me.

    Here’s something pretty that he wrote and performed recently with a similarly divine feel. https://youtu.be/bFRVK_1o2cU This one reminds me of Debussy.

    You should post some jazz links on here for the acts you mentioned. I’d love to check them out. You seem to have great taste.

    I should also share one of the most divine musical moments I’ve ever witnessed live. I was a student at UMass at the time and sat in the front row of the cavernous Fine Arts Center auditorium and saw Herbie Hancock, Michael Becker, Roy Hargrove, Brian Blade, John Pattitucci playing a tribute to Miles Davis and John Coltrane. IMO, my recording of Brecker’s interpretation of Naima is better than the performance that made the album where they used his performance. Sorry about the microphone noise! https://youtu.be/nU7x2odQGfM

      For sure, music is honestly one of the few things that doesn’t make me kinda loathe other human beings (I usually feel compelled to use my online time to raise awareness about terrible current event things), so, yeah, the wholesomeness has been mutually appreciated

      Wow, that Lage track is a great showcase for him, it shouldn’t be possible to get all those different sounds out of an electric guitar without having an array of pedals but he’s got such a delicate touch, it’s like the aural equivalent of what a good painter can do with brush strokes.

      And thank you for sharing that live Brecker recording, that was something special and something I probably never would have stumbled across on my own. That combination of venue performers and composers sounds incredible, and speaking as someone who’s done a bootleg or two the microphone noises just add to the authenticity and story of it for me.

      I wouldn’t want to spam/overwhelm the community by posting all these on their own at once, but a quick list of some favorite songs/moments,

      Makaya McCraven,

      Kamasi Washington,

      Zs,

      Terrace Martin,

      Louis Cole

      Thundercat,

      Kendrick Lamar,

      Colin Stetson

      BBNG

      Anyway, this has been weirdly uplifting and I don’t know what to do with positive emotions, so I’m going to have to go seek out like a nextdoor thread on an upcoming city council meeting with a proposal to license a youth homeless shelter on the agenda or something

        🥹 You sincerely made my day. This was the best interaction I’ve had on Lemmy. Thank you, my friend.

        I will definitely be in touch and I promise to give each one of these links my undivided attention. 😊
