Hearing J Dilla being discussed & dignified in this way, to be able in some way to facilitate and participate in that discussion, with these two people, is a goalpost moment for me. This podcast right here.🙏🏼 @natechinen, @gb_watchman, and @WBGO. Also... wbgo.org/season-2/2022-01-28…

Check out last week's episode with @vijayiyer, who, as y'all will discover, coined the term "microrhythmic" as a doctoral candidate at Berkeley in 1998, the same year that Dilla & Slum are recording Fantastic, v2 in Detroit. It's deep. wbgo.org/podcast/the-checkou…

🎧 to this episode of @checkoutjazz: @vijayiyer shares lessons in stillness for our turbulent time. wbgo.org/podcast/the-checkou… Def had no idea he was moonlighting writing for classical musicians. What a glimpse of Prof. Iyer in that Dilla convo. 😍 And “Mystic Brew” remains a fave.

Floating Along In Uncertainty With @vijayiyer: npr.org/2021/06/09/100451114… Glad this popped up in my feed b/c: 1. I love it & hadn’t heard of this project. 2. I’d completely missed the new album, listening now. 3. I’m remembering seeing him years ago & aching for live shows again.
