Plays a classical guitar, somewhat unusual for a jazz guitarist.

(the last one is from the new album)

Microscopic Septet, one of my favorite bands from the 80's and 90's, disbanded (one of the principals moved to Australia), now they reunite twice a year or so. Saw them last night in Smalls, NYC, great show! (Have a fine new album being released of them playing blues-based material, have it on Kickstarter order).
(Seven Men in Neckties is a great retrospective of their albums)

Great disc with audiophile quality sound.  I splurged and got the Analog Productions SACD.

Wow, that album blew me away.  When it ended I wanted more.  I thought maybe Tidal lost it's connection, but album was finished.

Today, April 22nd, is not only Earth Day but it is also the birthday of jazz immortal Charles Mingus. So please listen to some Mingus today.

The Spin, Four Corners, Greenhouse  --  Yellowjackets    Three of my favorites from over the years. Virtuosic contemporary jazz playing, IMHO.

I would like to join this journey, but I fear I do not have the kind of brain necessary for it.

Is there a kind of brain one needs? Doesn't have to be all intellectual, it just swings!

I sometimes think my years of bludgeoning my mind with metal means I'll need an easy crash course for music that's more nuanced.

Ben Ratliff, who was the NY Times Jazz reviewer/writer for a long time, was also really into metal. Haven't listened much myself (screamo vocals just hard for me to take; someone sent me a list of Metal to check out, but after the 1st screamo vocal I gave up), but I understand the technical prowess and sophistication of some of the playing is up in jazz territory, so there!
