Sons of Kemet Your Queen Is A Reptile 2LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Double LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;2021 Stereophile Magazine Record to Die For! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
Sons of Kemet is the iconoclastic mix of tenor sax, tuba and double drums. On this third studio album, they bring a genre defying approach that celebrates the restless exploration of identity within the Caribbean diaspora within the U.K. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The genre defying album, Your Queen is a Reptile, was recorded in London with a host of guests spanning the breadth of the U.K. scene including jungle legend Congo Natty and poet Joshua Idehen. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.stereophile.com & quot; & gt;
Young British saxophonist/bandleader Shabaka Hutchings is the main force behind these incendiary Sons of Kemet compositions, which are intended to remind listeners how British history reflects classist hierarchies and not the diasporic experience of its black immigrants. The album's title alludes humorously to the Reptilian conspiracy theory, but track titles allude humorlessly to who the Queen of England is not. The compositions, which are anchored in Afro-Caribbean rhythms, suggest in their titles alternative queens like Harriet Tubman and Angela Davis. If you have big speakers, my favorite track, 'My Queen Is Nanny of the Maroons,' will pound your room with wall-bending deep bass.

The Complete Masters celebrates the 50th anniversary of the original album release, and finally collects all the previously unavailable outtakes, overdubs, and studio chatter from the session. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recorded over two days at the Van Gelder Studio in New Jersey in December 1964, the sessions included Coltrane's quartet of Elvin Jones on drums, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and McCoy Tyner on piano.

Charlie Watts Meets the Danish Radio Big Band 2LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Double LP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Charlie Watts meets the Danish Radio Big Band is the kind of album that many jazz fans had probably given up hope of hearing. In the glory days of big band jazz and arrangers like Oliver Nelson coming up with brilliant music, albums like this were, if not commonplace, at least more readily available. The truth is there is nothing commonplace about this album, it is a sheer delight. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In 2010, Gerard Presencer arranged a 50th year reunion of sorts of drummer Charlie Watts and Copenhagen. After only 4 days rehearsal, Watts and The Danish Radio Big Band played a concert at the newly opened Danish Radio Concert Hall in Copenhagen - this concert was recorded for broadcast by the Danish National Radio. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Charlie Watts and the band were joined by Watts' long-time friend and bassist Dave Green, which turned out to be an essential ingredient since the two had a psychic connection while playing. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; The album contains seven tracks including Presencer arrangements of two songs composed by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, & quot;Paint It Black & quot; and & quot;You Can't Always Get What You Want & quot;. & quot;Faction & quot; is based on another classic by the Rolling Stones. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Double LP & lt;br & gt; Made in the Czech Republic & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; LP 1 & lt;br & gt; Side 1: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

And the rave reviews which appeared in the magazines Downbeat, Jazz Hot, Jazz Podium and Swingjournal reflected this: critics all over the world, in America, Europe and Japan recognized that Coltrane's deep religious belief had influenced both his approach to life and his music-making. It not only enabled him to express himself with great intensity but also lent him the necessary inner peace to conceive a work of almost 40 minutes in length and to lead his quartet along the same path as himself. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; A Love Supreme is considered John Coltrane's most important recording. Critics all over the world recognized that his deep religious belief had influenced both his approach to life and his music making. This work of great discipline and spiritual beauty forever changed the face of jazz. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Two important things happened to Coltrane in 1957: The saxophonist left Miles Davis' employ to join Thelonious Monk's band and hit new heights in extended, ecstatic soloing. Coltrane also kicked heroin addiction, a vital step in a religious awakening that climaxed with this legendary album-long hymn of praise. The indelible four-note theme of the first movement, & quot;Acknowledgment, & quot; is the humble foundation of the suite. But Coltrane's majestic, often violent blowing (famously described as & quot;sheets of sound & quot;) is never self-aggrandizing. Aloft with his classic quartet (pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, drummer Elvin Jones), Coltrane soars with nothing but gratitude and joy. You can't help but go with him. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - www.rollingstone.com & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Includes McCoy Tyner, Jimmie Garrison and Elvin Jones. John Coltrane was an instrumentalist of such overwhelming emotional force and virtuosity that although he died in 1967 his musical legacy remains virtually undiminished over 20 years. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane, tenor sax & lt;br & gt; McCoy Tyner, piano & lt;br & gt; Jimmy Garrison, bass & lt;br & gt; Elvin Jones, drums & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Vinyl LP Reissue! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio in May 1962, this classic quartet album features Roland Kirk on saxophones and several famous Haynes drum solos, most notably on his own composition Snap Crackle. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Out of the Afternoon is a splendid sounding 1962 set from the Roy Haynes Quartet -- which, at the time, consisted of Haynes, Henry Grimes on bass, Tommy Flanagan on piano, and Roland Kirk on saxes, manzello, stritch, and flutes. The album is a delightful mix of techniques in arrangement and performance, with all of the musicians delivering terrific work. Haynes' drumming is absolutely wonderful here, lightly dancing around the other instruments; Flanagan's piano playing is equally light and delicate; Grimes' bass work is outstanding (during 'Raoul' you have a chance to hear one of the few bowed bass solos on records of that era); and there's no more to be said about Kirk's sax and flute work that hasn't been said a hundred times, apart from the fact that the flute solos on 'Snap Crackle' help this cut emerge as particularly outstanding. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - AllMusic & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Vital Vinyl series: Original label, original tapes, original sound & amp; design & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Made in Czech Republic & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; Roy Haynes, drums & lt;br & gt; Henry Grimes, bass & lt;br & gt; Tommy Flanagan, piano & lt;br & gt; Roland Kirk, tenor saxophone, flute & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

John Coltrane Both Directions At Once: The Lost Album LP (Vinyl)
& lt;font color= & quot;#FF0000 & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt;Lost 1963 Recording Finally Released On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Includes 2 Never Before Heard Tracks! Pressed at QRP! & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/font & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; In 1963, John Coltrane recorded a studio album that has remained unknown and unheard until now. The album was recorded at Van Gelder Studios, the & quot;Abbey Road & quot; of Jazz, with Coltranes Classic Quartet and at the height of his career. The music on this album represents one of the most influential groups in music history performing in a musical style it had perfected and reaching in new, exploratory directions that would affect the trajectory of jazz from then on. In short, this is the holy grail of jazz. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; Unknown until 2004 and unheard until now, these recordings by the John Coltrane Quartet are, as Sonny Rollins says in the liner notes, & quot;like finding a new room in the Great Pyramid. & quot; Featuring the Classic Quartet John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones and recorded at the end of a two-week run at Birdland, the music on this album represents one of the most influential groups in music history both performing in a musical style it had perfected. & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;If you heard the John Coltrane Quartet live in the early-to-mid-1960s, you were at risk of having your entire understanding of performance rewired. This was a ground-shaking band, an almost physical being, bearing a promise that seemed to reach far beyond music. The quartet's relationship to the studio, however, was something different. In the years leading up to A Love Supreme, his explosive 1965 magnum opus, Coltrane produced eight albums for Impulse! Records featuring the members of his so-called classic quartet - the bassist Jimmy Garrison, the drummer Elvin Jones and the pianist McCoy Tyner - but only two of those, Coltrane and Crescent, were earnest studio efforts aimed at distilling the band's live ethic. But now that story needs a major footnote. On Friday, Impulse! will announce the June 29 release of 'Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album,' a full set of material recorded by the quartet on a single day in March 1963, then eventually stashed away and lost. The family of Coltrane's first wife, Juanita Naima Coltrane, recently discovered his personal copy of the recordings, which she had saved, and brought it to the label's attention. There are seven tunes on this collection, a well-hewed mix that clearly suggests Coltrane had his sights on creating a full album that day. From the sound of it, this would have been an important one. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - The New York Times & lt;a href= & quot;https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/07/arts/music/john-coltrane-lost-album-both-directions-at-once.html & quot; & gt; & lt;b & gt; & lt;font color= & quot;#0000FF & quot; & gt;Read more! & lt;/font & gt; & lt;/b & gt; & lt;/a & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt; & quot;Considering the mileage that Coltrane's labels have gotten churning through his well-documented discography, any unheard material from this legendary artist would be newsworthy enough. But these early takes on tracks that would end up on later albums and the untitled, never-before-issued tunes are remarkable, and a continued exploration of the modal jazz ideas that would mark his classics Impressions and My Favorite Things. This collection is another brilliant and colorful flash from a quartet that was creating lightning with no small of sweat and gritted teeth exertion. & quot; & lt;/b & gt; - Paste Magazine & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Features: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Vinyl LP & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Pressed at Quality Record Pressings & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; Newly discovered studio recording & lt;br & gt; & amp;bull; LP jacket features die-cut front and back cover, with debossed lettering on front and back & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Musicians: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; John Coltrane & lt;br & gt; McCoy Tyner & lt;br & gt; Jimmy Garrison & lt;br & gt; Elvin Jones & lt;br & gt; & lt;br & gt; & lt;b & gt;Selections: & lt;br & gt; Side A: & lt;/b & gt; & lt;br & gt; 1.

John Coltrane Blue World LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt; & lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Previously Unreleased 1964 Recording On Vinyl LP! & lt;br & gt; Pressed at Quality Record Pressings! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt; & lt;/header & gt; & lt;p & gt;This unreleased and never-before-heard 1964 recording by John Coltrane and his Classic Quartet, Blue World, features new recordings of earlier works which, in an almost unprecedented move, they reinterpreted for this session, recorded at Van Gelder Studios. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;The recordings were made in June 1964, in between the sessions for Crescent and A Love Supreme. Coltrane had been approached by a filmmaker in Quebec, Gilles Groux, who was planning to make his film Le chat dans le sac, a love story set in Montreal that had political overtones. Groulx was a devoted Coltrane aficionado, and via his connection with bassist Jimmy Garrison, he approached the great jazz figurehead with the idea of Coltrane recording the film's soundtrack. Remarkably, he agreed. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;So it was that he went into the studio with Garrison, Elvin Jones and McCoy Tyner to revisit and reinterpret some of Coltrane's earlier works. The session was recorded on quarter-inch analog mono tape and mixed by the great jazz engineer Rudy Van Gelder on 24 June. Groulx, who had been present at the session, took the masters to Canada to use in Le chat dans le sac, but only included ten minutes from the 37-minute recording. Devotees and new admirers will hear both Coltrane's creative progression and the consistent, interactive sound that had become the signature of the Classic Quartet by 1964. The album is also a window into a fascinating and hugely significant period in Coltrane's musical evolution, set in between two of his most transcendent recordings. Crescent was released in July, and A Love Supreme the following January. & lt;/p & gt; & lt;p & gt;Kevin Reeves at Universal Music Mastering in New York has now remastered Blue World from the original analog tape. The lacquers for the new release were cut at Capitol Studios by Ron McMaster. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.analogplanet.com & quot; & gt;
Both Directions At Once captured Coltrane in 1963, one day before the John Coltrane & amp; Johnny Hartman session. On that release, there are several takes of his current compositions such as 'Impressions' as well as two untitled, previously unreleased compositions. In my review, I found it to be a decent enough album, but one that didnt live up to the hype. Blue World, however, may not be hyped enough... On this set, Coltrane's 'Classic Quartet' of himself, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones is in top form; although not significantly breaking new ground, at every turn they offer fresh innovations on the older material. Whereas Coltrane's Atlantic sessions, especially in the first half of his tenure there, featured whichever musicians were available, the Classic Quartet had been together for two years prior to the Blue World session. Inevitably, it was a far tighter unit than Trane's previous groups; they sensed each other's forthcoming moves and musically pushed each other forward. While that excellent cohesion has always been easily recognized, comparing the Blue World takes (specifically those of 'Naima,' one of his most performed, and therefore altered, songs) to the compositions' original recordings truly highlights its importance in Coltrane's Impulse!-era sound, specifically his musical boundary-breaking... The LP, despite being sourced from a mono mix intended for an optical film soundtrack sounds excellent. Cut from the Kevin Reeves-mastered 192/24 file by Ron McMaster, the sound is three-dimensional, clean, and lively. Coltrane's tenor comes through clearly and fluidly, Jimmy Garrison's bass is appropriately thick and muscular, Elvin Jones' drums create a large reverberation through Van Gelder Studios, and while not miked the best, McCoy Tyner's piano sound gets the job done... Overall, this archival session's release is a win for Ume's recently revitalized Impulse! sector.

It is remarkable to hear, 52 years after his death on July 17, 1967, a 'new' studio recording by legendary tenor saxophonist John Coltrane and his fabled quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones. But for Trane fans and completists, this is a veritable treasure trove... While the group's renditions of 'Naima' and 'Village Blues' convey a warm, relaxed feel, the expansive 'Traneing In' (the oldest cut here, being the title track from Coltrane's 1957 Prestige album with the Red Garland Trio) really takes off in scintillating fashion. Following a lengthy opening bass solo by Garrison, the band kicks in at the 2:51 mark, triggering some mid-tempo, swinging interaction from Garrison, Tyner and Jones until the leader enters at the 5:05 mark, his robust tenor tones filling the air in gutsy, glorious fashion for the next 2:33. The calm after that invigorating storm is their second take on the serene 'Naima,' named for the saxophonist's first wife. Drummer Jones offers some rhythmic variation from his usual alluring brushwork on this tune by switching to sticks and turning the beat around in eccentric ways at the outset, offering some atypical tension and uncharacteristic swinging energy on this otherwise sublime anthem... The title track, Coltrane's moody, modal contrafact on Harold Arlen's 'Out of This World,' is essentially the same heightened treatment that the sax great delivered on his stunning re-imaginings of 'My Favorite Things' and 'Chim Chim Cher-ee,' and provides some of the most freewheeling, pulse-quickening stretching of the set while offering a portend of thigns to come on A Love Supreme. While this lone track would no doubt be readily embraced by ardent fans of avant-garde jazz, the others on this exceptional set, especially all three takes of the earthy 'Village Blues' and 'Traneing In,' might be more palatable to mainstream fans.

Thelonious Monk Palo Alto LP (Vinyl)
& lt;header & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;Unheard 1968 Palo Alto High School Concert On Vinyl LP! & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;After the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1968, racial tensions across the country rose. Palo Alto, a largely white college town in California, was not immune to the events of the day. Danny Scher, a rising junior at Palo Alto High School, had a dream to bring Thelonious Monk to Palo Alto to perform and help bring about racial unity in his community as well as raise funds for his school's International Committee. After somehow securing Monk's services to perform on Sunday, October 27, Scher initially had trouble selling tickets and convincing people that Monk was even going to show up. With many twists and turns along the way and several hundred people in the school's parking lot awaiting Monk's arrival before purchasing tickets, the concert eventually happened and was a triumph in more ways than Monk or Scher could have imagined. This is a recording of that historic event. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Now available on Vinyl - includes 2 booklets and a poster. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt; & quot;Monk's quartet gave the racially mixed, near-capacity audience an excellent show. They played for over an hour. Monk was called back by thunderous applause to play an encore - a solo piano rendition of 'Sweetheart Of All My Dreams' - and then graciously apologized for not playing another one: 'I gotta play in the city tonight, dig?'... Neither Thelonious nor sixteen-year-old Danny Scher fully grasped what this concert meant for race relations in the area. For one beautiful afternoon, blacks and whites, Palo Alto and East Palo Alto, buried the hatchet and gathered together to hear 'Blue Monk,' 'Well You Needn't,' and 'Don't Blame Me.' & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; - Excerpt from Thelonious Monk: The Life and Times of an American Original by Robin Kelley & lt;/p & gt;

Ted Poor You Already Know LP (Vinyl)

& lt;p & gt;You Already Know, the New Deal/Impulse! debut from the acclaimed drummer Ted Poor - & quot;a trustworthy engine in countless modern-jazz settings, & quot; per the New York Times - isn't your typical jazz drummer's recording, almost defiantly so. But if you're at all
familiar with the Seattle-based Poor's explorative career - or the wide-ranging work of his principal collaborators here, the deeply influential guitarist-producer & lt;strong & gt;Blake Mills & lt;/strong & gt; and the saxophonist & lt;strong & gt;Andrew D'Angelo & lt;/strong & gt; - this
should come as no surprise. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;After all, Poor has proven equally brilliant in bands led by the visionary avant-jazz trumpeter Cuong Vu and the lauded indie singer-songwriter & lt;strong & gt;Andrew Bird & lt;/strong & gt;. Whether he's on a club bandstand alongside a generation-defining improviser like
the guitarist Ben Monder, or onstage at New York's historic Town Hall, backing Paul Simon as part of Chris Thile's trusted Live From Here band, Poor is a music-first drummer. His tremendous technical abilities behind the kit are inarguable - and no
doubt serve him well as the Assistant Professor of Jazz Studies at the University of Washington in Seattle - but he places color, texture, sound and especially melody atop chops. & lt;strong & gt; & quot;The songs that I write, and certainly the songs that appear on this record, are songs you can sing, & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; Poor says, explaining how his time in the employ of renowned singer-songwriters has informed his own composing. & lt;strong & gt; & quot;These are the songs I sing to myself as well. & quot; & lt;/strong & gt; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;For that reason, the minimalist You Already Know is a supremely listenable improviser's album, with an artful crossover appeal. It's easy to imagine it existing on the same inquisitive music fan's record shelf alongside LPs by other Poor collaborators
- say, the keyboardist-producer Mitchell Froom, or the singer-songwriter wunderkind Madison Cunningham, whose recent Verve Forecast release, Who Are You Now, features Poor. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;Take Poor's & quot;Only You, & quot; which boasts a loosely propulsive, almost trip-hoppy rhythm - & quot;my beat, & quot; as Poor calls it, chuckling - and long, true streams of melody from D'Angelo. (A critic's favorite among current jazz alto saxophonists, D'Angelo is no doubt
an Ornette Coleman disciple, and that influence is communicated beautifully and directly here.) & quot;It is very repetitive; it's very simple, & quot; Poor says of & quot;Only You & quot;. & quot;But there is a form and attention and emotion that grows out of that. And I love how
all of the details - in the way that Andrew articulates his melody, and the intricacies of the drum part - have no choice but to be vaulted to the forefront of the sound. & quot;
& lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;D'Angelo's composition & quot;New Wonder & quot; is another highlight among the album's nine tracks, touting a & quot;drum melody in which the beat has a form itself, & quot; Poor explains. Again, D'Angelo's elegant delivery of an infectious melody is remarkably slippery; you
don't realize how meticulous his approach is because the sheer tunefulness of his playing strikes first. & quot;Andrew is such a dynamic player, & quot; says Poor, who met the saxophonist around 15 years ago, when both were stalwarts on New York's avant-jazz scene.
& quot;His relationship to rhythm is so personal and special. & quot; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & quot;New Wonder & quot; is also indicative of the stealthy sonic inventiveness that runs throughout You Already Know. During the album's sessions at Los Angeles' legendary Sound City Studios, Poor recorded D'Angelo's melody on piano via the studio's echo chamber
but then removed the actual piano sound later on; the results resembled what Poor calls a & quot;shimmery halo & quot; of reverb and space. One of the project's most affecting tracks, & quot;To Rome & quot;, homes in on Poor's melodic ingenuity behind the kit (and piano), and
features Andrew Bird on violin and Blake Mills on guitar. On & quot;United & quot;, a judiciously used overdubbed string section, courtesy of Rob Moose, fleshes out the duo ambience, and that newfound orchestral dimension pushes the album closer to chamber pop or
contemporary classical than to any jazz-with-strings exercise. Throughout, inspired mixing by David Boucher (Andrew Bird, Randy Newman, Pixar) and mastering by Eric Boulanger (Neil Young, Rufus Wainwright, Green Day) grant the jazz-inspired project
new angles in sound that come only with adventurous rock and pop studio experience. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;An invaluable part of the album's smart, streamlined design can be attributed to producer Mills, the 33-year-old polymath and an heir to super-producer-musicians like Ry Cooder and Don Was. In fact, the very existence of You Already Know belongs to Poor's
relationship with Mills. The two met and clicked in 2014, during the sessions for Bird's album Are You Serious, and began hanging out and playing together whenever Poor would visit Los Angeles. During one of those hangs, Poor played some working recordings
of his duets with D'Angelo, and Mills was thrilled by them. The inception of New Deal, Mills' own imprint through Verve/Universal Music, set the wheels in motion. & quot;I was really appreciative of how reserved Blake was in his choices as a producer, & quot; Poor
says. & quot;There would often be times where I wanted to do more and more, or leave an element in longer, such as the strings or the piano. And Blake was very conscious of keeping the ear's focus on the main two instruments, and to get in and out as quickly
as possible with the other stuff. & quot; & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;p & gt;In some fashion, You Already Know is no different than the many gorgeous folk- and Americana-tinged singer-songwriter albums Mills has helmed. It's a folk album, but & quot;not the genre of folk, & quot; Poor says. & quot;It's more the idea of music as oral tradition -
music as song. & quot; & lt;/p & gt;

& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;header & gt;
& lt;p & gt; & lt;strong & gt;2022 Grammy Award Nominee: & lt;/strong & gt;
& lt;br & gt; & amp;#8226; Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical: Notes With Attachments & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;/header & gt;
& lt;p & gt;This is Pino Palladino's first record of original music. Co-written and produced by Blake Mills, this album has no single sound. It showcases various styles of playing with an emphasis on ambitious composition and you can trace homages to J Dilla, Fela
Kuti, and Roy Hargrove throughout. Other musicians include Chris Dave, Larry Goldings, Andrew Bird, Ted Poor, and more. This is being released as part of Blake's imprint, New Deal Records, under Verve and is part of our Impulse 60! 2021 campaign. & lt;/p & gt;
& lt;blockquote cite= & quot;www.allmusic.com & quot; & gt;
Notes with Attachments is a strange record, but it is also welcoming thanks to an unhurried pace, colorful yet economical production, and restrained dynamics, all carried by the canny, warmly humorous musical instincts of its creators.
