I end up craving Sean Lennon's "Asterisms" album ( [https://www.allmusic.com/album/asterisms-mw0004180789](https://www.allmusic.com/album/asterisms-mw0004180789)) enough in the evening that I've started drilling into the musicians on it and the first one to stick has been Michael Leonhart, trumpet player and leader in his own right, whose “Seahorse and the Storyteller” ( [https://www.allmusic.com/album/seahorse-and-the-storyteller-mw0001977904](https://www.allmusic.com/album/seahorse-and-the-storyteller-mw0001977904)) I've had on all weekend.



As per, my smooth brain just filters out lyrics so that's lost on me but the band (which allmusic points out include members of the Dap-Kings, Antibalas, and El Michels Affair) really swings and the guitar parts are funky as hell. If the vocals aren't your thing, look for the digital-only instrumental version, "Seahorse & The Storyteller Instrumentals & Echoes Of Avramina EP”, which qobuz has, so I assume other places do too.
