  1. https://nalasinephro.bandcamp.com/album/endlessness gm w/ Nala Sinephro’s “Endlessness”.

    Endlessness, by Nala Sinephro10 track albumNala Sinephro

    plucked this off a best jazz albums of ‘24 list and it is beautifully mellow spriitual jazz that reminds me instrumentation wise — synth, string ensemble, keys, sax, ( https://www.allmusic.com/album/endlessness-mw0004339978) — of Pharaoh Sanders’ record w/ Floating Points.

    I will be checking out more Nala Sinephro.

  2. I end up craving Sean Lennon’s “Asterisms” album ( 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) 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.

  3. 🚶🏽‍♂️ 🚶🏽‍♂️ 🚶🏽‍♂️

    🏁 what I’m considering Portola, bound by 280, San Bruno Ave (or 101 I guess?), Mansell St, McLaren Park, and uh, the Excelsior? The north ridge of Visitacion Knob?

    Poor winter weather, always a two-bus transfer to get there and to get back, and strava glitching out by 101 more than once made this take a long time to complete.

    I also started biking weekdays for cardio instead of walking, so I had to put off the far corner for weekends.

    A San Francisco street map centering the area bound by 280, 101, Mansell St, the Excelsior. with a purple GPS path of walks I’ve logged on it, generally completing every street in the Portola neighborhood.

    Howard Waldrop’s "Flatfeet!”

    It’s important that bits that only one in a thousand or fewer people will get are also funny on their own merits but some days, not important enough to send to drafts.
