Playlist, Week of 2022-12-25

Love the dynamic energy and sheer power of Tony Williams's drumming on Emergency... but his singing? not so much... Garden features Cecil Taylor at some of his most romantically lyrical, and it's devastatingly beautiful... The new Mars Volta album is a bit poppier, but nice...
