Playlist, Week of 2025-01-19

Lots of great new music out there, but I can't seem to drag myself away from "Pharaoh's Dance"... Find myself getting overwhelmed these days... only thing to do is keep listening (and playing)... Between Patricia Brennan's Breaking Stretch, Allen Lowe's Louis Armstrong's America, [Ahmed]'s Giant Beauty, Jefferson Pilot's Recordeo, Anthony Braxton's Sax QT (Lorraine) 2022, John Blum's Deep Space, and Kris Davis's Run the Gauntlet, 2024 was a damn good year for great music...
