03.15.21 | YESSSSS that Mammal Hands description sounds so lovely oh lord
Was just jamming the Comet is Coming the other day, timing is perfect!!
Oh and Sput tip for list posting - if you open it in another tab while you're working on the list, and comment on something in the other tab once in awhile while you're working on the list, it'll keep it from timing out! Panic-b-gone |
Pangea

03.15.21 | ‘Was just jamming the Comet is Coming the other day’ - dat be good.
Heard that Sons of Kemet and awarded it a (likely) blasphemous rating, so should probably revisit. 1 sounds really cool.

Trifolium
03.16.21 | Checking the Mammal Hands now! I remember listening to some of their other stuff and kind of enjoying them, but for some reason I never explored them further. That... Starts... NOW!
Also rellik could you perhaps add a third entry in the list with the spreadsheet link? That way we can put our names down for following weeks!

Trifolium
03.16.21 | Oh man Versus Shapes especially is GOR~GEOUS!! I love this rellik, thanks for making me check them again. What a way to start of another jazz filled week during 2021, a.k.a. The Year Of Jazz. |

03.16.21 | glad you like it Trif this record is an absolute banger... or should I say, jazzer ;] j/ j/ j/

Trifolium
03.16.21 | j/ for suuuuuure!
Some of the busier moments (Rhizome for instance) are not entirely to my tastes, a little too saturated and anxiety inducing, but overall this is a wonderful record. |

03.16.21 | the improvs tend to get a little wild for sure haha

Trifolium
03.16.21 | For sure! And usually I can take that pretty well (Ascension, Bitches Brew, all of Indigo Jam Unit), but sometimes it gets a little too dense. Perhaps it has to do with the busy piano.
Going to take a short break from this and then on with Sons Of Kemet! |
Demon of the Fall
03.16.21 | Sons of Kemet is better than I remember, especially the faster instrumental bits. The busier parts of ‘Harriet‘ / ‘Angela’ are very pleasing. However I don’t care for the vocals and some of the slower segments are just sort of ‘there’ (perfectly passable by themselves, but they don’t really add anything in the context of the album).
P.S. I need to check Ascension, I intended to the other week but didn’t get that far. |
Trifolium
03.16.21 | It's pretty intense, but I love it! The alternation between ensemble and solos is so tastefully done and makes for a super nice diversity yet a strong sense of unity. It really is quite stunning. And a lot of noise and chaos. That too. |
Pangea
03.16.21 | 1 is really nice, definitely captured the spirit of the sea very nice. I really liked the dyanmics and the quiet stuff was super lovely |
rellik009
03.16.21 | agreed ahrd with that post Pangea j/ j/ |

03.17.21 | Confirmed: there hasn't been one bad Jazz Week so far j/ j/ |
Trifolium
03.17.21 | True!! |
bgillesp
03.18.21 | Relistened to Sons of Kemet today. It’s most defining feature for me by far is how rhythmically driven it is. The drums are the core of every song except for a few scattered moments where the other instruments truly take the lead. Quite a refreshing change of pace when we are used to thinking about sax/piano/trumpet or rarely bass as the leading instruments |

Trifolium
03.19.21 | That sounds promising gilles, I love drums in jazz. Kemet is on today. |
Trifolium
03.19.21 | I liked Kemet, despite not being entirely in the mood for the dancy sound it is going for. Party mode. Etc. It certainly is cool, some of the quieter moments were super nice.
See album discussion.
Can't wait for next week 💕💥😍🎺✨✨✨ |
Pangea
03.19.21 | the percussion on 2 is definitely a showtopper. absolutely incredible. love 2 in general |
bgillesp
03.20.21 | Mammal Hands was more like a post-rock album with a hint of jazz color. Really liked it a lot though. Wish I had found out about it before the year ended since it was a 2020 release. |

03.22.21 | Is the next list up yet and I missed it or am I just too anxious? |

03.22.21 | Most been posted on Monday! But aaaah totally forgot to put on Mammal Hands fixing that Right the f NOW |

Demon of the Fall
03.22.21 | Today I might check some jazz that isn’t on the jazz list, nor will I be submitting it for one of these lists.
Wild. |

03.23.21 | Goodness Late Bloomer off Captured Spirits is giving me all sorts of involuntary little shivers |
Trifolium
03.23.21 | Has somebody already contacted Deez? About the new Jazz List? |
porcupinetheater
03.23.21 | I have! I got distracted earlier today, but I'll toss it on up on his behalf |
Trifolium
03.23.21 | Oh nice! Looking forward to it. |
