Found one of the rarest cassette tapes of my wantlist. Still sealed. Smh while being overwhelmed by gratitude. All members of the Tamba Trio have deceased, but their tunes are alive and still loved very much. #tambatrio #MPB #brazilianjazz #rcarecords #cassettetapes #akaigxm30 #tapedeck

Gotta love Boatrides… No matter how well (or bad) Ahmad Jamal’s albums on 20th Century sold, I like all of them. #ahmadjamal #jazz #jazzfunk

Of my favorite jazz recordings this must be the stealth album. Hardly seen any posts of this on any of the social media platforms—ever. But what a line-up! Besides Nat, that’s Victor Feldman (!), Ron Carter, Johnny Griffin and Roy McCurdy. Produced by Orrin Keepnews. Nuff said I guess. #natadderley

Stormy weather… A Blue Note type of Sunday. I don’t mind. #bluenote #jazz #hardbop #bluenotejazz

Calling an artist or album unsung is just as easy as calling an artist or album mainstream. To me this is an absolute masterpiece, second to almost none in my personal realm. And this also wasn’t a very tough call tbh. Any other pinnacles of jazz? #stangetz #creedtaylor #vervejazz #sweetrain

Impossible to imagine a future moment where this magnificent album is not in my top 10. Songs, arrangements and instrumentation are tailor made for someone with my ears and feelings. #bobbytimmons #jazz #hardbop #moanin

What would life without Bill Evans sound and look like? First tune I have heard was Peace Piece. Then I got hooked. #billevans #billevanstrio #jazz #pianojazz

Awesome spring time album by Lou Donaldson! Big fave, together with Say It Loud! #bluenote #jazz #loudonaldson #cassettetape

Such a beautiful day, strolling in a new part of the city—the oldest of the Netherlands (about three times older than Amsterdam). Our slogan: old city, young vibe. It’s so true, just like the majority of the people over here. Come visit!

Sakura galore in the historic center of Nijmegen, the oldest city of the Netherlands (+2,000 BC). Named Best Youth Destination of Europe 2022 by Forbes and Condé Nast. Nickname: Summer Capital of the Netherlands. #nijmegen #nimma #charlemagne #sakura #EDEN

An imho terribly overlooked (underrated too?) album—for the Newcomers: I only collect jazz on tape cassette. To me it’s everything I love about jazz regarding composition, arrangement and style coming together. Mingus Moves (me, baby)! Comments?

My two partners in crime during my manuscript streak, a classy lady and man, Aurora and Sailor. Partly due to their presence I have become a different writer than before, more convincing—if I may say so (will say it anyway, lol).

Picked up a college habit recently. Buying, reading and writing poetry like there’s no tomorrow. Compared to the major languages translated Dutch poems are such a tiny minority, but do we have great poets over here. Fat chance any of this stack has or will ever be translated. Such a shame—lucky me.

Don’t worry, I’m enjoying every note of Grant Green’s Idle Moments. Never can I listen to a Grant album though, without realizing he got buried without a tombstone. How did that happen? Anyone? And this line-up… Joe Henderson, Bobby Hutcherson, Duke Pearson, Bob Cranshaw and Al Harewood. 😅

Additions of the past two months… laying low for awhile, till 2nd novel’s typoscript is ready. Mixed bag, as you can see, of some high school favorites, Aretha, and jazz (funk) heat. Grateful. #cassettetape #cassettes #jazz #funk #boogie #modernsoul #tapecollection

Man… another legend passed over to eternity. Beautiful NYT obit, if I may say so. Rest in love, peace and power, Mr. Roy Ayers, grateful forever. 🙏🏼❤️🌟 www.nytimes.com/2025/03/06/a...

… what a week. Rest in love, peace & power, Angie Stone. Eternal gratitude for sharing your wonderful talent and tunes. 🙏🏼🎶❤️🕊🌟 #ripangiestone #ripgwenmccrae #riprobertaflack #ripjerrybutler #ripchrisjasper

This South African music, and Cape jazz in particular… So colorful, rich in many ways, inspiring and heartwarming. Since I got these 4 tapes I am living in a state of enchantment… I have owned tons of albums, but these could very well be the best. #capejazz #southafrica #joburg #jazz #music

Truth be told, and it will set you free.

Honestly: I write quite a bit about all kinds of things on a daily basis, but not on a social medium like this. All those—what I call—shooting from the hip texts make me feel lost sometimes. Could using BlueSky actively help me overcome this? Is there a remedy AT ALL? #feelinglostinonlinespace

Steeds meer wetenschappelijk onderzoek laat zien dat het materialistische wereldbeeld niet klopt, zegt filosoof en computertechnoloog Bernardo Kastrup. Ons bewustzijn komt niet voort uit ons brein. Ons brein komt voort uit bewustzijn. https://buff.ly/3ZmkyYE

Welcome aboard. And please don’t give negativity ammo anymore—that’s what empowered all the Trumpies imho. www.justjared.com/2024/11/17/e...

Totally love his album Vistalite www.nytimes.com/2024/11/12/a...

“If you believe in the primacy of individual human freedom and dignity, you are now fighting a desperate underground guerilla struggle to carve out any kind of a liberal space in a world that only 25 years ago upheld your values as paramount.” www.noahpinion.blog/p/liberalism...
