Nala Sinephro's Endlessness has been on constant repeat, she has created a psychedelic yet ethereal jazz sound that is so uniquely hers.
Kelela just released a live album that's so stunning (In the Blue Light), she touches on how her Dad instilled the jazz gene in her and it showsss.
Sade - Promise is also very smooth jazz sounding, and tbh who can say no to the soothing tones of Sade in the morning?
Would be amiss not to mention some Bossa Nova - my go-to picks are a lovers pair, Astrud Gilberto (The Astraud Gilberto Album) and Joao Gilberto (Getz/Gilberto #2 - Live at Carnegie Hall)

I’ve been thoroughly enchanted by the warmth and fullness of sound from these KLH Model 6 speakers from the early 60s and the 1970s Pioneer SX-780 receiver. Picked both up from Facebook marketplace and it’s been a total treat for the ears. Show me yours! I can’t enough of this stuff
( I also have a raspebrry pi with a DAC running moode audio so I can also send amy music to it from my phone via airplay or Spotify connect, also sounds fantastic)

🛡I think yes mossyelfie has it right - small deeds, connect with your local community and friends, reach out and connect with people when you can. We are all in this together, to varying extents.
That being said, it is really really bad. Unprecedented. If you’re in the US, I would also say that reaching out to your representatives and state AG is important. They are the ones we’ve elected to protect and defend the constitution on our behalf, and we have to support and empower them to do their jobs, but there is no question it’s going to be hard.
I also thoroughly recommend being intentional about drawing barriers. Set time aside to stop scrolling, read a book, go for a walk and remember the world is still beautiful. Nature continues on. The world keeps turning.
