Recommended Listening
​Archive

I started an email list to tell folks about my gigs.
As a kind of a joke I decided to call it "Recommended Listening."
As in, "I recommend you come listen to me."
Then I thought, "Hey I'm listening to a lot of great music that I think other people should hear."
​Here they all are. Enjoy!

friends far and wide!

i hope you're doing so so great.

things here in PGH are peachy keen. our lovey friend and contractor chris recently replaced a joist in our basement ceiling, which means that in all likelihood our living room won't collapse for a good long while. close one!

here's some stuff that's good to listen to!

Kris Davis :: Octopus
i'm a year late or whatever. but oh. my. god. kris davis and craig taborn made a monster of a record here. seriously unbelievable. if you haven't. do. also, this video is BANANA NUTS: https://vimeo.com/257198003

Michael Formanek :: Time Like This
tony malaby and kris davis (speaking of) and ches smith play mike's twisted and awesome music like they wrote it. ches plays kit and mallets and tony channels some intergalactic shit and kris makes the madness sound cinematic. this is an awesome recording by a quartet of absolute masters.

Harriet Tubman :: The Terror End of Beauty
yeeeeeeeeeeezuz. jt lewis and melvin gibbs and brandon ross always bring it to the nth degree or whatever but what the actual.... this recording is earth shattering. just. just.... wow. please listen.

John Shannon :: Guitar Improvisations
john is an amazing guitarist. and such a great dude. and this is an amazing guitar album by this great dude. i love that i can hear everything in this record. the chair squeaking. john's fingers on the fretboard. breath. i can practically hear the dude think. this is some thoughtful and beautiful music recorded by a gnarly guitarist. worth a listen.
