So many moments that either rattle or tickle my soul in this @angeltheoracle podcast. Or completely shake me to the bone. She's is an artist fundamentally guided by her heart. Celebrate Black History everyday of the year from #FatsWaller to #SunRa

Hearing J Dilla being discussed & dignified in this way, to be able in some way to facilitate and participate in that discussion, with these two people, is a goalpost moment for me. This podcast right here.🙏🏼 @natechinen, @gb_watchman, and @WBGO. Also... https://t.co/jUR5P9dabj

Check out last week's episode with @vijayiyer, who, as y'all will discover, coined the term "microrhythmic" as a doctoral candidate at Berkeley in 1998, the same year that Dilla & Slum are recording Fantastic, v2 in Detroit. It's deep.

As his trio settles in for a week at The Village Vanguard, pianist and composer Vijay Iyer stops by The Checkout to share insights, and a glimmer of hope.

🎧 to this episode of @checkoutjazz: @vijayiyer shares lessons in stillness for our turbulent time. https://t.co/A716AgAz3B Def had no idea he was moonlighting writing for classical musicians. What a glimpse of Prof. Iyer in that Dilla convo. 😍 And “Mystic Brew” remains a fave.
Floating Along In Uncertainty With @vijayiyer: https://t.co/Zkz6xLzRPC Glad this popped up in my feed b/c: 1. I love it & hadn’t heard of this project. 2. I’d completely missed the new album, listening now. 3. I’m remembering seeing him years ago & aching for live shows again.
