Opening a 1974 original sealed copy of Atmospheres - “Voyage to Uranus”. Smokin set of jazz fusion featuring John Abercrombie, Ralph Towner, Clive Stevens, Stu Woods, and Michael Carvin. This is a fire record that cruises under the radar. #jazz#jazzfusion#VinylCollection
An old favorite from the cheap bins. I learned every lick Pierre Van der Linden plays on the kit when I was a lad. The wife HATES these guys. Not for everyone.
#NowPlaying A kind, peaceful start to the week.
An album out of time. If you'd told me it was a Brian Eno ambient collaboration, released somewhere between 1973 & 83, I would have believed you.
A perfect final recording for Pharoah, whose best albums were often dynamically constructed to evoke the serenity & (spiritual?) clarity that result from transcending life's chaos & tumult. It's almost like he knew it would be his last. A special album, a valediction. #jazz#jazzfusion#ambient#vinyl
Look, the tight execution, sense of musical restraint and, of course, the lack of actual jamming means that "No Obsession" from @stereopolarity is NOT jam band music. That said, it features the same core fusion of jazz and funk, with just a touch of rock and some electronics, that powers nearly all jam bands -- and, to be completely honest, this tune would be fucking sick if it was jammed out to deep space and back.

Note: I once had the privilege of photographing Billy Cobham during a percussion festival for the Univ of Oregon School of Music. His playing was stunning. I got to get up close to him & his drum kit on the stage in front of a packed house of cheering drummers.

Formerly a musician, my main trade is electrical engineering (power engineering, energy systems) as well as mathematics, and I've been known to make and post artworks and write from time to time. (I'll probably make an art account at some point).
I'm passionate about #mathematics#education (and more generally #STEM and adult education), as I've witnessed first-hand how many doors mathematical fluency opens.
