Suite for Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Live recording of a Dilla tribute concert with a 60 piece orchestra. Stakes Is High with Posdnuos and Talib Kweli is a standout. Album is on Bandcamp and the full concert video is on YouTube.

In the World: From Natchez to New York by Olu Dara. He’s the father of Nas (who guests on the album) and an accomplished jazz musician in his own right, but this isn’t a jazz album. Okra is in my top three songs about food.

Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway. A mashup of De La Soul and Fela Kuti. “Music is the weapon. Music is the future. Music is the weapon of the future.”

There’s quite a few worth watching besides what’s already been mentioned.

• Patriot
• Bosch
• Goliath
• The Night Manager
• Sneaky Pete
• Reacher
• Jack Ryan
• Mr. & Mrs. Smith
• Good Omens
• The Man In The High Castle
• The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

You reminded me of the old Joe Cartoon videos from the before YouTube times.

My gf tried it. When I asked her how it was, she just said “mmm mmm mmm.” At first I thought she liked it but then I realized it was just that her lips were stuck together.
