I've already Rec'd this group in the past but I have to share this too. My favourite current jazz group just put out a collection of interpretations of Kendrick Lamar's work. The *Meet the Grahams* track is unbelievable but my favourite is probably their cover of *All the Stars*.

These guys are absolutely fantastic - plenty of filmed sessions on their youtube - they also have a bandcamp and some tracks on spotify! Wonderful blend of classic hard bop and some more modern trends in jazz :)

Unbelievably good jazz tracks I got hip to from obsessively listening to the STL public jazz radio station 90.7 KWMU-2. Always nice to find something with sub 5k listens on Spotify. Go to "Red Apple Sweet" and "The Brite Side".

From: Los Angeles
Genre: Jazz/avant garde/lo-fi/ambient
LP: Music for Saxofone & Bass Guitar (2018)
Interpretation of a 1980 Pharaoh Sanders composition (featuring, appropriately, Idris Muhammad on drums). Both Sams are amazing artists and band leaders on their own, and on this album (plus its two follow-ups thus far) they stretch their chosen instruments to their outer limits. Recorded mostly live, looped mouth sounds and taps on a mic drenched in reverb build the spare backing rhythms. Wilkes’s bass generates waves of tonal textures like fog on a city street. Gendel’s sax riffs are so alluring—effortlessly beautiful and endlessly hummable. Your friends who don’t like jazz will still love this. Your friends who do like jazz already know what‘s up.

I'm not obsessed with it but it's always sweet when the barista does something cool. This one yesterday made me smile because after seeing a few others I realised the guy was doing Pokémon! Fairly certain mine is mew or Mewtwo, I saw him do a horsea, pikachu, and squirtle too...

Feels a bit redundant to recommend one of the most popular movies of all time, but for me this one had kind of stayed in the category "I'm sure it's good, I'll get to it some day".
A friend put it on and I absolutely adored it – it wasn't just a great, scary horror movie – it covered a breadth of genres, was written really well, had great acting, and looked just wonderful.

Not to get too poetic on Main, but we're all so used to the idea of our breath fogging up as we walk in the cold. Sometimes you have to turn around as you're walking and watch the remainder of your breath disappear into the air. Best recommended for the drunk walk home from the pub.
