"El Mal Querer, incredible album, been listening to this a lot for the last couple of years. Any album that has a song with one of the best singers currently working and a Street Fighter sample of Chun Li and then an Arthur Russell sample like a pitch shifter, any album that has a song with that much going on is a great album."Watch this moment
"Money Jungle, this is one of my favorite jazz records. This is Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Max Roach. The mythology around this one is that Mingus had a lot to prove to Duke Ellington, who was kind of the legend but kind of the elder statesman at that point, and they don't often seem to be actually playing together that well."Watch this moment
"Meara O'Reilly's Hockets for Two Voices, this is an EP that came out in 2019. Seven pieces of music, really minimalist. It's Meara's voice, one voice in the left channel, one voice in the right channel, singing these really dense, beautifully arranged pocket compositions."Watch this moment
"Iowa Dream, this is the most recent kind of compilation of Arthur Russell, odds and ends. You know, he just has so much music that he recorded over the course of his life, and every one of these that comes out, there's some three or four just classic songs, and it's always just shocking that they have gone unreleased this long or kind of under-evaluated or underappreciated."Watch this moment
"I just love his voice so much he's just such a great singer and this is a great kind of that world of jazz folk that was going on... I always loved this album and I loved Tim... great songwriter and this is something by the vibe this record is specifically like great."Watch this moment
