Long-Drawn-Out Excursions in Contemporary Jazz
Happy new year and welcome to the first episode of In A Mellow Tone for 2022!
If you are attention deficit, then this may not be for you. No pop songs here. Nothing that will fit on a 45 rpm. Or a cassingle (anyone remember those!?) I've been seizing the opportunity to leverage the internet and FM mediums to play long songs. On this episode, nothing shorter than six-and-a-half minutes. Tonight we're keeping it modern... tunes from 2015 to 2021.
Pictured: album cover for Australian experimental jazz trio The Necks, whose album "Vertigo" your ears will be exposed to. For more on this band and album, writing gooder than I can:
