Let's talk about tactics to reach a different hesitant demographic....
[Contrarians can try to describe who's benefiting from this conspiracy without saying 'they', being specific.]

Dorothy Ashby: Afro-Harping (1968)
Reminds me of Alice Coltrane’s music, but maybe more chill.
Amon Tobin: How Do You Live (2021)
Two favourites: the titular track, noisy with a fat bass, badass drumming, and kaleidoscopic timbres; and This Living Hand, with a sort of scribbling or tickling turned into a rhythm.
From Hard Bossa (1999). Over the last two weeks, I’ve repeatedly listened to this (featured in #012). The modern jazz waltz feel stands out to me now, and I’m absorbing the harmonies and intricate voice-leading.
