Playlist, Week of 2020-04-19

Sam Goff's Transmissions continues to blow me away... One reason Keith Jarrett At The Blue Note is so enjoyable is that Keith Jarrett keeps his groaning and moaning to a minimum... it's still jarring to be enthralled with these absolutely gorgeous piano lines only to have them interrupted by him sounding like he has a ruptured spleen... The deep, robust tone of Sonny Rollins is like a soothing aural balm... Most of Bubble Puppy's only album is a bitter disappointment, surprisingly lame soft rock compared to the hard glittering brilliance of "Hot Smoke and Sassafras" and its B-side "Lonely"... oh well...
