Kamasi Washington – Street Fighter Mas
Catch yourself an early preview of the Summer Mix in today's FMD post.
Also, Kamasi's new album drops today.
Herbie Hancock & The Headhunters – Butterfly
Okay, I have no idea what Herbie is referring to in this intro.
Hiromi Uehara’s Trio Project – Desire
Hiromi is one heckuva pianist, with a long playing & recording career yet ahead of her. That's MFSB alum & legendary session man Anthony Jackson on the six-string contrabass (his invention) and ex-Judas Priest drummer Simon Phillips on the skins.
Orchestra Baobab – Ndéleng Ndéleng
A prolific group (established in 1970, still recording & touring) that I'm surprised hasn't been featured here before. This was recorded in late 2007.
Move your feet!
Bill Evans Trio – Waltz For Ricky Debby
Very good on the Wolves for their definitive win against the Rockets last night, but I'll join the rest of the gang that's missing Rubio. Here's a solid jazz performance for the solid Jazz performance that was lead by that dashing Spaniard and his dazzling triple double.

Cecil Taylor – Crossing (Part II) / After All
Cecil reminds me of the title of the old Bukowski book Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit.

Esperanza Spalding – I Know You Know
Portland native, and the all around awesome, Esperanza Spalding:

Hugh Masekela – Stimela
Totsiens, Bra Hugh.
1987
Auld Lang Syne – Tara Kannangara & Colin Story
Okay, fine.
