Does this really need a seperate thread?
Could it not just go on the WAYLT thread?

Jazz Now by Blue Note Records
A compilation of recent - ish releases.
Some familiar, some not - lots of good stuff - well worth a delve. It’s on Tidal/Spotify/Apple/YouTube.

Cochemea Vol 3. A recommendation from my brother and I really like this. This is what I have discovered about him:
Cochemea Gastelum is a musical journeyman who draws on ancestral memories and family histories to wrap new flesh around the bones of history. In his 2019 Daptone debut All My Relations he combined musical inspirations from his Yaqui/Yoeme indigenous heritage with musical chops honed performing with the world’s premier soul/funk and jazz artists to present an exquisite meditation on the interconnection of all things. His 2021 follow-up, Vol II: Baca Sewa is a bold, semi-autobiographical work that leads us deeper into the archives of family history, mythology and the cultural imaginary.
Cochemea’s musical and spiritual synthesis is made possible through his deep reverence of the horn and of the music and traditions preceding him. He follows in the lineage of reed players who combine dexterity with inventiveness, creating expressive textures that make the horn sing in altogether new ways. Inspired by heroes like Eddie Harris, Yusef Lateef, Jim Pepper and Gary Bartz before him, Cochemea coaxes the flute and electric alto saxophone to forge his own joyous, melancholy, contemplative signature sound.
