I cant say much about Tom Spooner

But I can say I really liked this piece of micro-fiction and I think you should read it

ear rat @earrat.com · Sep 3

what can i say about Tom Spooner? @dapwearer.bsky.social

well...

he saved me from a fight at a taco bell in parsippany, NJ at 3am.

he landed a kickflip back lip on an 8 stair hand rail and didn't even film it.

he wrote and sent us a banger about burning away all your experiences.

Here's a review of a remarkable live album of #spiritualjazz from Andy Hay and his incredible band.

I was there that amazing night. Here's my review:

#jazz #newmusic #andyhay

Andy Hay – Solstice. Change.

It’s a balmy evening in the outer suburbs of Greater Manchester, and a palpable energy pervades Limefield Studio.

Something You Said @somethingyousaid.bsky.social · Sep 4

This is spiritual jazz at its finest – soulful and free – an expressionistic, striving sound that gives praise to Pharoah Sanders and other past masters."
