An absolute titan of music has left the planet: Pharoah Sanders (1940-2022). Thanks for the powerful spiritual jazz and always rewarding music. His work with Floating Points and The London Symphony Orchestra on Promises is a late-career masterpiece and shows that Sanders was always innovating and taking the music to new places. I took the first photo back in 2013 at the Guelph Jazz Festival. I got to hang out with him backstage and even though his music was on another celestial plane, he was super down-to-earth. My vinyl is still boxed up, and so I am re-sharing two older posts, the first displaying some of his solo work and collaborations with John and Alice Coltrane. You can see that he signed my copy of Village of the Pharoahs. The last photo is of Promises (2021), which was one of the best albums released in 2021. If you’ve never listened to a Pharoah Sanders record and are wondering where to start, I’d recommend that you check out the always awe-inspiring, Karma (1969). Rest in Power. #pharoahsanders #restinpeacepharaohsanders #jazz #guelphjazzfestival #karma #floatingpoints #spiritualjazz
I’ve been wanting this Lovage album on vinyl for a while and so I was pretty stoked that it got reissued. #nathanielmerriweatherpresentslovage #loveage #musictomakelovetoyouroldladyby #kidkoala #mikepatton #jennifercharles #dantheautomator
Listen to what brings you Joy. #joydivision #closer
Definitely not the only reason, but certainly a big reason, I wanted to collect tapes was for certain releases that seem to really fit the cassette format. The main one for me was one of my all time favourite albums: Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers. I now own the original LP and cassette, and, even more rare, the “Protect Your Neck” LP single released on Wu-Tang Records before they signed with Loud. Wu-Tang Forever! #cassette #wutang #enterthewutang #36chambers #rza #hiphop #enterthewutang36chambers
‘90s cassette throwback! I definitely played these three albums a lot back in grades 7 through 9. What’s your favourite of the three? #cassette #cassetteculture #greenday #dookie #smashingpumpkins #siamesedream #offspring #smash #cassettes #90smusic
I’ve been working a lot more from home now that classes are done and so I’ve had more time to listen to records. Two ambient records I’ve been listening to recently are Brian Eno’s Film Music (1976-2020) and jazz duo Bremer/McCoy’s Utopia. Both are fantastic! #brianeno #brianenofilmmusic #bremermccoy #ambient #studymusic #jazz
