Its been a while but I thought I might revive this thread and use it to do some casual write-ups for albums I want to talk about, things that I like from the year of music thats ongoing etc.

So, welcome to the record store! Coffee, a comfy couch, and some headphones for listening are recommended because I want to take you on a journey through a variety of genres and share things that really get me going in music!

Coming up, the first record I'll introduce you to:

(Give me a bit of time for the write-up please )

Sir's Turntable Sessions Vol. 1 - Endless Planets (Deluxe Edition) by Austin Peralta [2024/2011]

Before his tragic passing in 2012, Austin Peralta released his third studio album Endless Planets (2011). This was a record where he really came into his own with his musical exploration and musical vision, working with various instrumentalists and renowned producer Flying Lotus to deliver his best record to date. Complimentary to jazz heritage, yet forward thinking as it explores the idea of the cosmos through contemporary jazz and electronic motifs.

The Quintet that brings Endless Planets to life is one common form of a Jazz Quintet: Peralta on Keys (Piano/Rhodes), and bandmates on Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Upright String Bass, and Drumkit respectively. Together, the five combine to sketch captivating musical lines through their high level of musicianship that continually draws the listener in. Some of their musical ideas are complex in nature, but each musician demonstrates expert precision and musicality that enhances what each other is offering in the performance. At the core of this is Peralta, brilliant in his own light, but with the mastery of his craft and composition to compliment and enhance each of his fellow musicians. In essence, this is him at his absolute best, thriving off of the realisation of musical ideas that give him the most freedom and make him an even brighter star in this universe.


Peralta and co. are at their best in the longer songs on Endless Planets, namely 'Capricornus', 'Algiers', and 'The Underwater Mountain Odyssey.' Their immense technical skills and musicality shine brightest here in lines that are complex but addictive in listenability. Whether you're a hardened jazz veteran or new to the genre, this quintet takes you on an intergalactic journey through new worlds and soundscapes that are a joy to partake in. There may be points where they lose themselves in the pleasure of this spectacle, but this doesn't detract from what is a wonderful, eye opening experience. The Deluxe Edition of Endless Planets offers four more songs for listeners, recorded in BBC Maida Vale sessions; three of these are new songs to the record, while the other is another enjoyable version of 'Algiers.'

“I don't think art can or should be classified into earthly conventions.
True art defies categorization and transcends boundaries and
shouldn't be looked at through a lens of ‘earthly’ or ‘not earthly.’
If you let it wash over you and carry you away,
that experience may not feel like anything you've ever experienced
here on Earth. It can be the doorway into an infinitude of worlds.”[/I]
– Austin Peralta

Regardless of your experience of jazz, or your understanding of the technical side of jazz/music in general, Endless Planets is an album that I absolutely love and recommend for you to listen to. I'm sad that I only came across it years after Peralta's passing, but this is a testament to the freedom that musicians can feel with jazz. It is both a love letter to some of the titans of jazz, yet also a love letter to what jazz allows you to explore and feel. This album speaks to me as a musician on a deep level, and is a wonderful experience. If I had to rate it, I'd give it a 9.1/10 at minimum, and I hope you'll consider giving it a chance. You might just fall in love with it like I have. ​
