20/15 - Rolling Maverick Across An Obsidian Sky

I've fractured my elbow. I've got hayfever. I'm listening to this:

Yusef Lateef - Delilah
Love the contrast between the heavy, stumbling bass solo and the elegant, swirling flute melody.


John Coltrane - Alabama
This album, and the way it uses empty space. Just listen to that void at 1:22...

Charles Mingus - Duet Solo Dancers (Hearts' Beat and Shades In Physical Embraces)
The tempo changes!


Alice Coltrane - My Favourite Things
One of the craziest jazz tracks and album openers ever? A standard gone cosmic. Psychedelic organs, freejazz bass solos, oriental strings, heaving dissonances, and of course, swathes of heavenly harp. These are a few of my favourite things.

Tom Waits - Nighthawk Postcards (From Easy Street)

I've been looking for some kind of an emotional investment with romantic dividends
