I was actually poking fun at those who do sneer at the type of stuff covered by Classic Rock. I like the mag, a friend at work subscribed and would pass on the issues of that and Metal Hammer and Prog magazine. They're all gone, which is sad. So apparently is Rock A Rolla, which hasn't had a new issue since summer. I hope Terrorizer isn't next.

The Terrace Martin record is really good, a great companion piece to To Pimp a Butterfly. Terrace was one of the driving forces behind that record's mutated L.A. Jazz and Velvet Portraits boasts a gentler, funkier version of that style (plus some extended instrumentals from TPAB).
Yeah, it's good. I was surprised there wasn't more interest, given the TPAB connection. Maybe if Kendrick hadn't dropped another record 3 weeks earlier it would have received attention.

I wanted to like the Terrace Martin album more than I did.
That said, Kamasi Washington bassist Miles Mosley's album, which comes out at the end of January, is fantastic. Keep an eye out for that one.

Probably an unfair gripe but checking out a few things on the FACT/Boomkat lists that I hadn't heard and... I'm just feeling uninspired. A lot of it seems to be trying hard to be forward-thinking and current, but it's all just a bit empty. This kind of hipstery quasi-dance makes me feel like I'm trapped in a perpetual 2010 listening to Joy Orbison and early James Blake EPs. Just don't see the point in that Lorenzo Senni thing at all...

i never want to begrudge popcaan this sort of limelight - he is indeed a special, alluring, maybe iconic artist and 'ova dweet' is pretty magic - but it does kinda suck that truthfully i only like it maybe 2% more, somedays, than '7 days' by vershon on the same riddim
https://soundcloud.com/dancehallpromo/vershon-7-days-clean-ova-dweet-riddim
it was popular too! it would be nice to think that Murlo, Swing Ting and Hipster’s Don’t Dance, not to mention Mixpak boss Dre Skull also felt a twinge of grief at its sacrifice to the popcuult.

also nice blurb for one of the top jazz albums of 2016:
Bob Dylan’s ‘Masters of War’ could have been successfully edited to half its length, for example, in its present form an amiable noodle, and this seems to be the destiny of several songs. Part of the problem is the laid back playing of Bill Frisell, who sounds as if he could barely get out of bed in the morning. Lloyd plays well, but he does need someone to bounce off. There are nice moments: ‘Abide With Me’ would please the Anfield faithful, ‘All My Trials’ has elegance as long as Lloyd is at the microphone, while Willie Nelson’s ‘Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream’ somehow works in the context of the album. Dear old Norah Jones – she who bank rolled the survival of the Blue Note label – is unmistakably Norah, if you like that sort of thing. Great for iPod listening since this functions well as undemanding background music.Stuart Nicholson
