Nick found a new album he’s excited to share this week. Legendary bassist Pino Palladino & producer, multi-instrumentalist Blake Mills released “Notes With Attachments” earlier this year. It’s both very easy to listen to and a 13 piece band performing complicated jazz arrangements of West African & Cuban inspired funk melodies. It’s also worth checking out!

Songs:

Pino Palladino & Blake Mills - “Djurkel”

Pino Palladino & Blake Mills - “Ekuté”

Greg joins us from the road on his way up to Seattle & he thought it was a perfect opportunity for another “State of the Art”. Greg sticks with Seattle this time, Jay shares his favorite bands & artists from his home state of Pennsylvania & Nick tosses in some Maryland bands as well.
Song: Bill Frisell, David Holland, Elvin Jones - “Moon River”

For our ninety-second episode, Jay brings us the music of 1992. We start off with Tom Waits “Bone Machine”, swing by the pop charts for a bit, move along to Dr. Dre’s “Chronic”, stop at Pavement’s debut “Slanted & Enchanted” & Rage Against The Machine’s self-titled first album, en route to Aphex Twin’s “Selected Ambient Works 85-92” and rendezvous at September 29, which gave us Alice In Chains “Dirt” & Stone Temple Pilot’s debut “Core”. Turned out to be a pretty solid year!

Songs:

Tom Waits - “Dirt in the Ground”

Alice in Chains - “Them Bones”
