An early look at twenty albums I loved in 2024.

 

This guy has been surreptitiously sneaking into my top 10 for favorite albums of 2024 list.

 A first for me...a friend of mine got arrested and is in jail.

It was someone who I knew had some problems with anger management, etc, but I had seen the good side of him and that he had been getting better in a lot of ways since I first met him...

I got a Linkedin message from one of his friends who reached out to me.  He told me that my friend wants my number so he can call me from jail.  Not even sure what I'd say.  

 Just got back from the Andre 3000 show, for the album New Blue Sun featuring the former Outkast rapper playing improvised jazz freak-outs for an entire show.  Opening was Serpentwithfeet, who really won me over with some heartfelt indie R & B.  Other guests Andre 3000 had on stage included Bilal, Carlos Nino, and a member of the Sun Ra Arkestra, who was 100 years old.
