perfect heat dome vibes for the mpcs.

heart over head.

 

total summer vibes.

 

 

run it up.

last year i binged king of the hill & i didn't understand the hate for ole chuck mangione. i had never listened to him before, i just knew him from the show. so i finally got around to it over the summer & discovered that i'm a dum dum. what a beautiful & vibrant album of gorgeously elastic jazz. his playing reminds me of sam gendel at points, so do the smart thing & download this.

starting out an early sunday morning with don byrd's fantastic jazz funk fusion album from 75.

going in.

let's keep it pushing with this slice of early 80's jazz funk.

this is not a photograph.

couldn't start out yr saturday morning better than with this funky gem from the early 70's.

ten am stroll.

to keep with the theme of cool guy french jazz, we have this jammer from 75. it reminds me at times of giallo jazz & other times tropicalia, this is a great album to clean yr apartment to at nine in the morning.

smoggy mountain high.

another one dan brought home the other day. holy fuck dudes, this is so good. maybe my favorite hancock album. this came out right after manchild, so full of beautiful lush jazz funk. & ray parker on geetar. just look at that fucking cover... cool as a goddamn cucumber. this is meant to be played loud on sunny days.
