The boys are back to take on four more entries from the New York Times' Best of 2024 list and Mike especially is happy with these selections.  "Spiritual Jazz" leaves a imprint on several of this episode's albums and bastard number 2 loves it.  Pat meanwhile is relieved that Blue Note's entry is the best yet, in his opinion, by a rising young artist, but he finds one of the other entries just an almighty racket.  Melissa Aldana – ECHOES OF THE INNER PROPHET; Frank London – SPIRIT STRONGER THAN BLOOD;  THE MESSTHETICS AND JAMES BRANDON LEWIS; Isaiah Collier – THE ALMIGHTY.
