I was a bit busy today with some projects so I let Roon curate and serenade me. Some Stanley Turrentine, some Gene Ammons, Ike Quebec, Hank Mobley from my "favorite tenor saxophone Roon folder". I have to say, Roon does a great job at curating and DJ'ing.


All in all a great tenor saxophone/triode mode, tube causal listening day.

Serge, I'm often pleasantly surprised by the good Roon options I get. It's a good time for music lovers!

He takes some chances with the repertoire and consciously adds a heavy blues inflection that makes Soul Samba one of the more unique interpretations of the bossa nova style. It's also one of the more sensuous, thanks in part to the combination of Quebec's natural tendencies and the soft, light style itself, but even more so with the extra bit of meat added via the blues. The music is warm and danceable, yet with a late-evening hush that's more suggestive of winding down and getting cozy with someone.


We're in 'relax mode'.
This was ideal.

I enjoyed that album and have listened to it a few times since the time of the post.

Stride Piano-a style of jazz piano playing in which the right hand plays the melody while the left hand plays a single bass note or octave on the strong beat and a chord on the weak beat, developed in Harlem during the 1920s, partly from ragtime piano playing.
