this new year, this Friday, new music from Tyler Blanton "References and Irreverances" on Destiny Records.

New release coming this Friday from 🙌

On References & Irreverances, Blanton’s fourth leader date and his second for Destiny Records, the New York City-based vibraphonist bottles such feelings in a flight of eau de parfum concentrations. His panache for striking the right mood is reflected in quirky titles like Brooding Linda Evans and Person Hole Cover. That said, such descriptors are merely doorways into listeners’ own ways of connecting to the material at hand. The latter tune, for example, despite its nod to an all-too-canny George Carlin bit about the absurdity of our linguistic revisionism (“manhole cover” being no longer politically correct), has little to do with the ex*****on of the concept in musical form. If anything, these vignettes of popular culture and personal experience are like sparks fanned by Blanton’s eminently cognizant bandmates. This is clearest in West Highlands, a nod to his West Highland Terrier that hits the ground running. Pianist Gary Versace takes an early solo in this opener, showcasing his own gift for telling it like it is in a culture that too often curtails that impulse. The rhythm section of bassist Joe Martin and drummer Rudy Royston sinks its teeth deep enough into this groove to reach bone, throwing Blanton’s brilliant interweaving of clean and gritty textures into relief.

"Built In System, Live in New York."
Chien Chien Lu is a terrific musician and world class mallet player. listening to this is a proper end to the year and a great introduction to the next.

【好有感覺音樂】2023/11/30 新專輯發行

Chien Chien Lu ／《內建系統 Built In System》

專輯介紹：
專輯中的曲子都是魯千千的原創曲。在2023年1月的紐約，用現場錄音的方式錄製了此張專輯，小號手 Jeremy Pelt，貝斯手 Richie Goods，鼓手 Allan Mednard，這些樂手都是魯千千在紐約一起進錄音室，同時也是歐洲美洲巡演的夥伴，互相切磋了上百場的演出，組成了一個團。魯千千想的是信任，信任每一次的演奏，都是百分之百在當下，製造火花與連結。

想將此專輯致敬給曾經帶給我靈感的人事物，作為一位來自台灣的女子， 用眼睛用心看世界，在找尋方向，找尋平靜的過程中， 用從小最熟悉的工具“音樂”譜寫出一首首心中想像的聲音。好開心， 很感謝生命中出現過的大功臣們。

小編聽了之後覺得每一首歌都帶給聆聽者不同的故事，聽了之後會開始尋找自己與這首歌相似的地方將自己帶入歌曲內去享受這一這一整張專輯。
有時想要單曲播放其中那麼幾首歌，但是又思考了整張專輯一定有排放歌曲順序的用意，所以還是整張專輯聽了又聽。

推薦給大家，目前已經於各大實體通路上架。
數位平台也找得到！！！

new music (a CD, Rivers in our Veins) from Allison Miller, coming October sixth. if a CD is too modern, the vinyl is coming out later. listen and enjoy.

At this point this thing called a cd is almost considered an artifact…but it still feels damn good to get the new album pressing in the mail! Officially out Oct. 6th on Vinyl next! Link in bio for pre-order.

an excellent review of the GRB's latest conversation with listeners. you should check out this latest work and hear them live, cause they shine.

With its latest concept album, “iTopia,” Asheville-based indie-rockers The Get Right Band have offered up food for thought on where we currently stand as a society — this juxtaposition of humanity and technology in the emerging 21st century.

Merry and Happy.

If you are looking for a Christmas record that wasn't made for purely commercial reasons, you might like this one. Of the 50 solo, duo, and trio records I've made, it's my favorite.

RELEASE DAY!
https://hypeddit.com/martinfabriciustrio/newworld
Today our album, NEW WORLD, is fully released on all streaming platforms.

I feel like the luckiest bandleader in the world to have Andreas Markus and Jacob Hatholt by my side.

Together we've traveled 1000's of kilometers (we've literally been around the world more than ones).

On this album we travel even further.

We invite you to join the expedition into the..... NEW WORLD

Thank you Andreas and Jacob for sharing your amazing talent and thank YOU for listening!!!!
