[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

Live at Umbria: #GangbeBrassBand West African dance party! #ChristianMcBride New Jawn Chordless format with Nasheet Waits? Yes, please.

#WayneShorter. Met one of my heroes tonight at #UmbriaJazz. Celebrating my humanity #WithoutANet #BeyondTheSoundBarrier #FootprintsLive

@TheNthPowerVibe epic live set in Buffalo. I'm Nikki Glaspie's newest fan. Leading from the drums with groove, taste, power and singing bgv!

[Alan Watts @AlanWattsDaily]

Not to see the unity of self and other is the fear of life, and not to see the unity of being and nonbeing is the fear of death.

#NancyWilson and #CannonballAdderley. Never Will I Marry just feels good. #ChickCoreaTrio Trilogy. I can listen to Brian Blade comp all day.

[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

Also caught a piano trio set featuring #NateWood. He's a scene stealer, and not b/c of the deadpan #sticktwirling, though it doesn't hurt.

#EricHarland Voyager Live by Night. Relentless energy & high risk makes for unpredictable, riveting, exploratory music. The Harland effect!!

#KurtRosenwinkel The Next Step. Love the lineup & Kurt's tunes. Jeff Ballard's drumming somehow always sounds so relaxed but so intense!

[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

#GhostNote Fortify. @sputacular and @NWerthy throw down intense, funky and melodic drum/percussion duos. Plus lots of stank face bass synth!

@lawrencetheband Breakfast. Great sold out show last night @ Music Hall of Williamsburg. Lawrence is an all-human NYC pop/soul party.

#kendricklamar DAMN. Production is not as colorful as ...Butterfly but his characters are. The writing and the low end both shook my brain.

[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

Re-watched the Brazilian folk music documentary #Brasileirinho, mostly because of guitarist Yamandu Costa. < p h r a s i n g >

#MilesDavis Jazz at the Plaza, vol. 1. Met some youngsters this week who had never heard Kind of Blue...got inspired to do my own homework.

[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

Revisited another favorite, #Shostakovich Symphony No. 5. It gives me goosebumps over and over, plus I hear something new on every listen.

[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

#SamuelBarber Violin Concerto. I recorded this piece in 1998 with CSYO and it's always stuck with me. #JoshuaBell's take is my fav so far.

[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

#Kneebody Anti-Hero. Angular and abstract? Perhaps. But that's what allows this music to reach beyond our human world. Also: musicianship.

[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

Back from Egypt with lots of new music, but first a recommendation from John Riley: #BataKetu Afro-Cuban/Afro-Brazilian traditions entwined.

[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

#Radiohead TKOL RMX 1234567. I like electronic music that doesn't spoon feed you 8 bar phrases. #nosnarerush #variousartists

[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

#Bjork Homogenic. This record has a sound I keep coming back to as a reference when producing. Voice, strings...and all that other stuff.(!)

[John Hubbell @John_Hubbell]

#ChickCorea and #BelaFleck The Enchantment. Strictly duo. Definitely in my top ten drum-less play along albums. (Yes, even the rubato tunes)
