@Stevendux@mastodon.online aw hell no

Sorry for the downtime clubbers - we ran outta disk again! I'm cleaning it up and will throw some more block storage at this joint to at least extend the time between times we crash with no disk haha

ahhhh yes it is once again Sunday morning in Sundogistan and that means #jazz

still no SPR studio connection, though it's on my short-term todo list now, so I'll be jazzing along with the fine folks of https://mountaintown.fm/ as they kick off their annual apple festival this weekend. feel free to join in, and if you like what you hear, consider making a donation to their listener-supported station!

our impending relocation of the consulate is still requiring more of my attention and time than allows for me getting SPR back online right now, so it's another self-paced study week, y'all, but here are a few trail head performers I'll be using as the core of my listening for today:

The RH Factor
Electro Deluxe
Cory Henry

Ben's a musician's musician - just read his understated yet mind blowing wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Sidran

anyway, you can expect my Sunday morning jazz time to contain a lot more fun facts and maybe some fair use sampling...

I have wanted to own Ben Sidran's 24 CD box set, "Talking Jazz", ever since I learned of its existence. It's Ben, himself a phenomenal jazz musician, having conversations with 60 other jazz musicians over a five year stretch for his NPR show, "Sidran on Record". Miles. Chick. Dizzy. Herbie. Wynton. and 55 more!

However, it, and its requisite 24 CD price tag, was not ever something that fit into my budget when I had access to purchase it.

Now, friends, it is mine, because it is on Bandcamp:

my brief take: it's okay. better than I've made. not his best, though.

It took me three days to mention it, but Herb Alpert dropped a new album on Friday, "Catch The Wind".

ahhh yes, it is once again Sunday morning in Sundogistan and that means #jazz

I awoke this morning with a long list of to-dos and enough chaos to make me feel slightly frazzled, so I'm in the need of some stability and soothing. that brought to mind one name from the jazz world who never fails to smooth out the wrinkles, and that name is Bill Evans.

so, if some smooth jazz interpretations could ease your Sunday hesitations, feel free to follow along over on @nowplaying or streaming all day on https://radio.reclaim.technology/stream

it's been a hectic week around these parts for yours truly, so I could use some good grounding and a solid foundation, and no one in the jazz world fits the bill quite so comprehensively as Ron Carter, so we'll be spending our day with him today.
