I realized yesterday whilst doing a little research that I’d been leaving out the Jazz Fusion genre as a tag and only using the Progressive Jazz tag, which not everyone will recognize. I’ve now rectified that error :) This is my second favorite Simon Phillips album, though I do adore the Protocol projects, Midair Decision and Biplane to Bermuda being my two favorite tracks. My favorite remains 1999’s Out of The Blue, however, with its more kinetic take on Midair Decision. I’ll be playing that next :)

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Snarky Puppy - Immigrance (2019). When I start playing SP it’s just too hard to stop. Also, half of their albums have an audience in the studio. This one does not. Had to look that up. #music #progressivejazz #jazz www.youtube.com/watch

#NowPlaying @ Nothing Manor: Snarky Puppy & Metropole Orkest - Sylva (2015). As far as I can tell, Snarky Puppy only records live but they are so tight you can’t tell until you hear the audience. Phenomenal #ProgressiveJazz #Jazz #music www.youtube.com/watch

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: The Breeders - Last Splash (30th Anniversary Edition)(2023). The Deal sisters and Co. are the real “deal” (pun intended) when it comes to lyrical neo-punk pop. This is simply a fantastic album. Go ahead… sing along :) www.youtube.com/watch

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Michael Penn - Mr. Hollywood Jr. (Double Disc Version)(2005). Featuring Penn’s unique spin on Americana rock and interspersed with fascinating short snippets of musical texture, this is a more introspective album than most of his releases. #music #nowplaying

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Colin Hay - Transcendental Highway (1998). Saw Colin this morning talking to CNN whilst celebrating New Years in Tasmania (I think. Maybe NZ) and playing music for the crowds with his old band, Men at Work. Threw this on. Great album. #music #nowplaying

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Oingo Boingo - Alive (1988). While this is a live album, the band didn’t play in front of an audience. Nothing is mixed. It sounds like a studio recording it’s so tight. #music #nowplaying

Now Playing @ Nothing Manor: Robbie Robertson - How To Become Clairvoyant (Deluxe)(2011). Eric Clapton. Steve Winwood. Tom Morello. Trent Reznor. Nothing short of an amazing album. Why are you still reading this? Go listen! #music #nowplaying
