Hi @SubstackInc. Having some significant difficulties with my account since changing my email, and your support section is of no help at all + I can’t easily find any e-mail to contact. Any assistance (other than the maze that is said “support” section) would be much appreciated.

Taking a break from revisiting 2024 albums in order to check out some upcoming releases. Illuminescence by Hearts & Minds (Jason Stein/Paul Giallorenzo/Chad Taylor) is sounding wonderful this evening. Out in mid January. One track is available for preview on Bandcamp, I believe.

Morning commute soundtrack: Sustain by Aaly Trio (Gustafsson/Janson/Nordeson). An invigorating and uplifting jolt for mind, body and soul.

R.I.P. Quincy Jones. Having the likes of Mingus, Chambers and Farmer on your team to help bring your arrangement of "Walkin'" into life is a pretty decent way to start your album career. One of the first of many high points in a storied career.

Happy 60 trips around the sun to the magnificent Mats Gustafsson, extraordinary reedist, improvisor and composer, and a discaholic of the highest order. (Photo: Ziga Koritnik).

I know CD’s are on the rise, but expecting to get €34/$36 for a (well used, it looks like) copy of Dark Side… seems optimistic, to say the least. Even if it is an SACD (there are several copies available for around a third of that on Discogs).

Been a minute since I last picked this down off the shelf and gave it a spin: Late 90s serene bliss created on acoustic string instruments by Pullman. Just the ticket on this evening.

Rest well, Phil Lesh. Box of Rain.

Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh propelled many of the band's wilder explorations while taking a rare vocal turn on fan favorite 'Box of Rain.'

Another Midweek Pick on a Thursday, this time Nacka Forum's Peaceful Piano (pssst: there's hardly any piano 😉). Address to the main page in the image below, or see my bio.

Takk, Hans Rotmo. Vi ble svært lite samstemte med årene, men betydning din tidlige musikk og tekster hadde på et ungt sinn var stor. På tide å grave fram lurken fra dypt inne i skapet og ta meg trall for gamle dager.
