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

New @randybrecker recording out in May!

Love this from @allaboutjazzmedia : “Over time, serious concerns have emerged about how streaming platforms compensate musicians. That issue alone has been widely discussed within the jazz community. More recently, however, additional concerns have surfaced around the attribution and presentation of recordings on the platform—concerns raised publicly by respected artists including Jason Moran and Benny Green. Taken together, these developments have led us to a clear decision: we can no longer support Spotify as part of our editorial ecosystem.”

Guitarist Chris Standring has experienced some big changes in his life recently and it’s reflected in the music on Time of Change. @chrisstandring1 #contemporaryjazz
