I don’t usually seek out jazz but this album is NUTS!! trumpet-led and so modern and smooth and sexy. feels like I’m in downtown chicago during christmas time

Pleasantly surprised by this jazz/fusion LP, some absolute corker chord changes. My type of groove for now

i'm a huge jazz enthusiast especially if it's from the swing era, and this album is exactly that. the song tangerine has been a favourite of mine forever, but i had never listened to its full album until today and i am so glad i did. i beg you to give this absolute gem a listen. it'll do you so much good. big band jazz is a gift from god.
i hope you are well, friend.

My mom discovered this project of Roy Hargrove from a Jazz magazine sometime in 2006 or 2007. We actually got to see them play live at the Fillmore in SF before she died.
The album is phenomenal. Super influenced by funk, and created at the same time neo-soul was still super popular. Roy Hargrove does the horns for D'Angelo sometimes, and so D'Angelo is featured on track 9. Solid album all around.

I don’t always want to post them but I find that getting into the habit of taking lots of photos, good and bad, both with people in them and not, makes me want to keep them safer than just on instagram. that’s my emotional support folder… get away from her…

I’ve been very slowly making my way through the satoshi kon filmography (like very slowly,,, I first watched perfect blue three years ago) and honestly this one might be my favorite?? a found family film through and through, which I am a gigantic sucker for. three homeless people find a baby in a dumpster and set out on a quest to find her parents, no matter the result. I think I was more receptive to it because it takes place on christmas eve and I was already feeling fresh nostalgia for a christmas eve that had just happened a few days before… but I loved being in the world this film builds. a gross, hidden tokyo built upon the backs of small kindnesses. will absolutely watch again next year because I haven’t stopped thinking about it, wanting to return to that world for a few minutes.
