Dale Lloyd joined forces with Cindy Sharp, Windy & Carl, and many others.https://mathstodon.xyz/@antoinechambertloir/117400478766022687https://mathstodon.xyz/users/antoinechambertloir/statuses/117400478766022687@antoinechambertloir@mathstodon.xyzMusicWed, 07 Oct 2026 16:05:41 +000015. Bahia #JohnColtrane100 Coltrane's music has sometimes be released much later than the recording date. Today's piece, “Bahia”, was recorded in 1958 but gave its title to an album that appeared in 1965, at a time where Coltrane had published much more personal music with his classic quartet. To the point that jazz critics of that time from *Record Mirror* wrote that “Talk of Coltrane being ‘anti-jazz’ must be dispelled by this little lot.” This is a composition by Ary Barroso, and the rhythmic flow is sustained by a short motive on the piano and bass and an omnipresent cascara on the ride cymbal that is announced right away. Red Garland is on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. The album cover shows Coltrane on soprano saxophone but he plays tenor saxophone on that album. youtube.com/watch?v=0yZq_VVB89Ehttps://bsky.app/profile/pupandtiger.co.uk/post/3mxe2l5uxj223at://did:plc:lwdwgxnmwhkuhtgqkelheruz/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxe2l5uxj223@pupandtiger.co.ukMusicThu, 08 Oct 2026 08:36:53 +0000What piece of art made you feel seen before you had the language for why?

Normally the music is the thing I remember most about an advert. Recently, my attention was captured by the music being used for the Twinings "But first tea" ad with the two dogs. Finally tracked it down as Pilgerfahrt by Swiss "technoparty or secret religious ritual" band #Stimmhorn. The entire album is utterly fabulous (if that kind of thing blows your flugelhorn).

It went on to peak at #16 for two weeks and spent a total of 22 weeks on the chart. I spent an evening with a friend who was on the air at 1080 AM KTNX, and he played this song by Sawyer Brown.

For a few brief moments, I got to experience the joy of knowing I have worked to do something I love and have gotten better, and can produce something recognisably musical. Am I great? No. Am I good? No but it doesn't matter at all, I enjoyed it thoroughly and made the world more musical for a few minutes, something everyone should get to experience. Imagine being the sort of person who wants to take that away from people, who would treat playing an instrument as something people either can't or shouldn't do because they have a machine to sell. Coming down from that high made me think back to the interviews with the ghouls of Suno, pretending they 're contributing and democratising when all they are doing is robbing people of an experience and installing a tollbooth in a world packed with them, none of which are needed in any way, shape or form.https://bsky.app/profile/dncnbear7.bsky.social/post/3mxco6bm5tk27at://did:plc:kmshhy6rt5onboanc72oqmvh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxco6bm5tk27@dncnbear7.bsky.socialMusicWed, 07 Oct 2026 19:22:16 +0000So if you know me, you know that my favorite Grateful Dead song is Days Between (followed closely by Dark Star), and of all the post Grateful Dead versions of Days Between two specifically stand out to me.
