Pullin from the Stacks Podcast - Episode 19 (Piano Jazz)

This episode I invited my record-digging partner in crime, DO77 aka Verbal Math of Dollabin, to spin some of his favorites. It's a great fusion-filled set filled with all kinds of treats! In DO77's own words: "I love jazz fusion so I know it can go off the rails real quick. Don’t worry, I just threw together some chill fusion grooves by some of the usual suspects, a couple of lesser known gems, and Frank Zappa who is a genre by himself. I also dropped in one of jazz’s most important current voices, Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah. Thanks to Ian Head for the invite! Hope you all enjoy."

Tracklist:
Flora Purim - Some Time Ago
Tony Williams Lifetime - Wildlife
Miroslav Vitous - Aim Your Eye
Weather Report - Indiscretions
Frank Zappa - It Must Be a Camel
Azymuth - The House I Lived In
Christian Scott Atunde Adjuah -Liberation over Gangsterism
Jaco Pastorius - Portrait of Tracy

Jackie O. Bar Berlin 17: Gone But Not Forgotten (Schlafittchen)

Rounding out the year, I selected a few of my favorite 2020 aquisitions - I can't call most of these digs because I think all of them appeared in my mailbox at some point. A few I'd been after forever, along with a couple beautiful new releases. I hope everyone enjoys, and I want to again extend a huge thanks to all those who've tuned in this past year, and those who graciously put together guest sets for the podcast - J. Rawls, Bruce Phillips, Evolve-One and DadbodRapPod! Finally, Rest in Power Stanley Cowell, the brilliant pianist and composer, along with all the other legends we've lost this past year. It's been a tough one. Sending love to all.

Tracklist: La Troupe Palestinienne de Deir Yassin, Heath Brothers featuring Stanley Cowell, Phi-Psonics, Jazz Co-Op, Organic Pulse Ensemble, Alan Hackshaw, Hvalfugl
