The Messthetics & James Brandon Lewis

Here's a very cool new jazz collaboration from Washington D.C. experimental jazz punk trio The Messthetics and New York composer and saxophonist James Brandon Lewis.  Dig on "Emergence" below and grab the excellent self-titled album here from Dischord and Impulse! Records. 

Alice Coltrane

Alice Coltrane made some wonderful music over the course of her life and career.  In 1982, she released a cassette of devotional songs called "Kirtan - Turiya Sings," a collection of soothing, meditative, and almost hypnotic tracks.  This summer, the album is getting a vinyl reissue on Impulse! Records.  It's very much worth your time and dollars.  Listen to "Krishna Krishna" below and order the record here.
