All Life Long (LP)

Kali Malone
Any classical composer that can upset French integralists enough to ban their performance in a church is alright by me. Having experienced the joy of hearing Malone perform her organ pieces at the First Congressional Church of Los Angeles back in 2022, one would surmise that the French Catholic conservatives never actually heard her music. Malone’s compositions can be dense, yet the layers of ravishing overtones wash over the listener unexpectantly. What feels like a drone soon permeates through the body, giving one a connection from earth to the heavens. Read more

New Blue Son (LP)

Andre 3000
I understand the disapointment of folks expecting this to be a rap album and it is not. I understand the folks who are inspired that an artist like Andre 3000 can grow and change direction. I have no opinion, either way. The thing that got me is that I cannot stop listening to this album. Granted, I am the “prototype” (Insert dad joke groans here) for an album like this. I dig artists like Laraaji and Alice Coltrane. I also enjoy projects produced by Carlos Niño, who collaborated with Andre 3000 on New Blue Sun. I would have liked this album if Andre 3000 were not on it, but the fact that he is makes him susceptible to criticism as well as praise from folks who do not usually listen to spiritual jazz influenced music as I do. As much as I enjoyed New Blue Sun, it was also an enjoyable cultural experience. I watched people slow their lives down for just a moment so that they could listen to something they normally would not have, and that rarely happens these days. Read more

World Wide Whack (LP)

Tierra Whack
That flow, that creativity! I hear the Hip Hop's early aught influences (Outkast, Busta Rhymes) but it’s just that; an influence, not a replication. I love where she is going with this. Read more

Siembra: 45 Aniversario (LP)

Ruben Blades
it would be hard pressed for Ruben Blades to mess up a classic like Siembra. The greatest Salsa album ever made. But do we really need a live version of it forty-five years later and without Willie Colon, the other half of the legendary duo? The answer is an overwhelming yes! Blades, along with his bandleader Robert Delgado just burn on this recording. The songs are still relevant, the energy is relentless, and Ruben’s voice still sounds as perfect as it was forty some odd years ago. Read more
