Playlist Bart - Starts out sounding Reggae-ish to me, but only the opening line and then turns Jazzy in a Zappa-ish way. The vocals that come in make me think this is something from International Anthem, experimental and yet grooving and with an aural sensibility that can appeal to non-Jazz folk.

The song… Continue reading Seshjawn Notes 3/16/25
