The Line-Up for 10-19-2012
I'm in this rather weird period where I have to focus on earlier releases from the year but I still feel compelled to bring you straight newness. I tried to do a good mix of both this week.
Linda Oh - Deeper Than Happy
I revisited Initial Here earlier this week and fell for this album all over again.
THEESatisfaction - Juiced
Philip Dizack - Grow
There were moments on Dizack's End of an Era that reminded me a little of Christian Scott. Not necessarily in this song, which is great in its own right, but I knew I had to make a set with the both of them at some point.
Christian Scott - The Red Rooster
In this Season of Lists, I know I'm going to return to Christian aTunde Adjuah. I'm considering this that moment where I do that.
Menahan Street Band - The Crossing
This song has been kicking around for quite some time now and I wasn't expecting a song that I loved so much when I first heard it to be even better on the album. The Crossing is great and you should totally cop it.
Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes
Esperanza Spalding - Endangered Species
This song was one of the highlights of Spalding's performance last weekend.
Lionel Loueke - Tribal Dance
Heritage is going to make my best jazz albums of the year list. I'm sure of this.
Karriem Riggins - daooooh!!
Robert Glasper Experiment - Gonna Be Alright (F.T.B.) feat. Ledisi
I'm going to have to revisit Black Radio again soon, I'm looking forward to it.
Marquis Hill - Stablemates
I played through Sounds of the City again recently and fell for it all over again. I didn't realize how much Hill's version of "Stablemates" grabbed me. Seriously, this production is really good.
Hiatus Kaiyote - Malika (Mark deClive-Lowe Remix)
This group have been wowing folks on various music blogs for at least the last year. They've been on my radar, I just haven't copped their album yet. However, they just released an amazing remix album of their release Tawk Tamahawk for free earlier this week on their bandcamp.
Hiatus Kaiyote - Namamarra (Bendaur's Double Rainbow Mix)
Daedelus - Looking Ocean (feat. Austin Peralta)
I've been a fan of Daedelus for years, so I was clearly excited to learn he released so new music this week.
