Listening to: Your Mother Should Know: Brad Mehldau Plays the Beatles ♫
I linked to this before, I think, but I continue to listen obsessively to Alec Goldfarb’s new record Fire Lapping at the Creek — which is, let the listener beware, microtonal blues. Which is crazy, except that blues blues has microtonal elements. What a record. ♫
I am aware that microtonal jazz-blues might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I love the new Alec Goldfarb record. ♫
Currently listening: Danish String Quartet, Last Leaf. One of my most-listened-to records of the past five years. ♫
Recent listening: Ralph Vaughan Williams’s wondrous Fifth Symphony. ♫
Playing this morning: Khruangbin’s A LA SALA. ♫
I love to see this terrific profile of Khruangbin, one of my favorite current bands, but I miss the days when listening to Khruangbin felt like a secret pleasure that you didn’t really want to share widely. ♫
The Queen and the Duke ♫
