It’s #earthday and I’m suggesting a listen to Matt Johnson’s “Earth’s Mysteries” track. @mattjohnsonkeys is the keyboardist for @jamiroquaihq. And this is an atmospheric,gentle, nice jazzy tune with a splash of vocal, saxophone and harp. Worth your time to listen to this Earth Day. https://youtu.be/Em_JkpICsbs?si=E5O6hEvh8tizWkRa

This morning’s “wake up smiling” track: Royal Crown Revue “Morning Light”! https://youtu.be/UbePeQogDLQ?si=6x4BtHIadYdFhytl

If this doesn’t get your Monday off to a good start, I’m not sure what will. Robert Walter | Eddie Roberts | Stanton Moore. “Party Like a Rich Kid”. Full album out May 1. #jazzfunk #jazzgroove
