This will lower blood pressure for sure. I started listening to African music 20 plus years ago and just got hooked. Toumani is playing the Kora. Just a really nice sound.

And from the famed Mali giant, my favorite piece from one of his best albums, The Source. RIP Ali.

Can't overlook the Pat Metheny Group and this amazing live version of "San Lorenzo" back in 1977:

When I was posting the Preservation Hall tune, it brought this to mind. This is Cecil Taylor's homage to trad jazz (really). Tasty? Well, maybe a taste of horseradish or habanero (both of which I love). I literally haven't heard this in 40 years, makes me feel young again.

Tom Scott - Shadows, from 1977:

I hear a lot of old Allman Brothers there… I’ve heard of them before (and know of the Derek Trucks connection), but never really listened… now I will.

Tom Scott - Shadows, from 1977:

I'm not a big sax fan but this one's very smooth and relaxing. I almost fell asleep listening.

Here's a beautiful little ditty by Yusef Lateef, in 7/4 time.

I'm not a big sax fan but this one's very smooth and relaxing. I almost fell asleep listening.

Very true on that Tom Scott tune. Now here's one that is certainly a bit more up tempo - Tom Scott and the LA Express doing Rock Island Rocket. I remember it getting good amount of airplay back in the 70's:

The group is Elements, this piece is a bit mysterious with a cool groove:
