Keeping a balanced music listening diet is alway something that I’m striving for. I want to always keep up with new or recently released music but not forsake that for ‘old’ music or music that is not in anyway new, but that could be new to me.

This week I’m sharing The 7th Hand by Immanuel Wilkins. Wilkins came onto my radar in late 2020 after his release Omega. It was an instant favorite and is in my regular rotation of things.

Here’s a some information about The 7th Hand from Blue Note. “The album consists of an hour-long suite comprised of seven movements that strive to bring the quartet closer to complete vesselhood by the end, where the music would be entirely improvised, channeled collectively.” You can totally hear a melody or motif throughout the entire album that is both pleasant to listen to and challenging to understand.

I won’t bore you with any additional details. Just go listen.
