Aretha Franklin

" data-original-title="" title="">Aretha Franklin, Amazing Grace (Atlantic, 1972)

Listening to Aretha coming home makes you feel like coming home. R.I.P.

Skuli Sverrisson

bass, electric

" data-original-title="" title="">Skuli Sverrisson,

" data-original-title="" title="">Oskar Gudjonsson, The Box Tree (Mengi, 2012).

This album was on repeat around the time of my daughter's birth a few months back. It says it all. A saxophone sound from another planet.

3. NONAME, Telefone (Vinyl Me, Please, 2017)

"Yesterday" was the soundtrack to my whole 2017. So melancholic, so happy!

Jeff Parker

" data-original-title="" title="">Jeff Parker, The New Breed (International Anthem Recording Company, 2016)

Chill-Out Avantgarde, somehow...

5. Rodrigo Campos, Sambas do Absurdo (YB Music, 2017)

The album title sums it up.

6.

Steve Lehman

saxophone, alto

" data-original-title="" title="">Steve Lehman & Sélébéyone, Steve Lehman & Sélébéyone (Pi Recordings, 2016)

Crazy shit! I like the weird production of this album and Steve Lehman is really at home on this one.

7.

Rafiq Bhatia

guitar

" data-original-title="" title="">Rafiq Bhatia, Strata EP (Rest Assured, 2012)

Rafiq's brand new album made me rediscover this older EP. I really dig

Jeremy Viner

saxophone

" data-original-title="" title="">Jeremy Viner and he's sounding great here.

8. Enemy, Enemy (Edition Records, 2018).

Fun, melodic and yet so complex. This trio is so together.

9. Strobes, Brokespeak (Blood & Biscuits, 2016)

Math-tronic Jazz from London.

10.

Makaya McCraven

drums
b.1983

" data-original-title="" title="">Makaya McCraven, Where We Come From (CHICAGOxLONDON Mixtape) (International Anthem Recording Company, 2018)

I just heard this today, totally into Makaya's beat.
