[@harmoniesbyjosh]

it is April the 21st, 2023. i'm grateful. to be here, to be able to hear.

[@theinfamouspokeinrichmondc3543]

Listen. The Bruv Alfa Mist is our era version of Thelonious Monk. Also when he spits bars he has heat. Love the album. I got to see him live in Oakland last year and it was incredible. Going to see him again in May in San Francisco. May every person reading this be blessed with Love, Good Health, and an endless amount of Wealth. Bless

[@azuredivina]

aw, you're blessed. I'm so bummed to miss their upcoming LA show in the same month. i wish they'd come to San Diego. can't wait to get the chance to see them live some day!

[@tebbli1370]

You to my brother

[@danlalala]

Wholly agree here 🥹 Saw him at the lodge room in LA last year and am fortunate to get to see him again at the Fonda theater this May as well. A shining star 🌌 Would second that I’d love for him to come down to SD, but well worth the trip regardless! Very thankful I could make the timing work.

[@Dan-ov2ov]

I was there in Oakland too. Small but cozy venue. Kaya Thomas-Dyke's voice was mesmerizing live

[@lawrenceandrews3119]

We going to see you next week in SF? The SJC show last May was incredible...

[@Kamikazeman1234]

i dont understand how people can say that there's no good music being made in the modern day. the sheer breadth of musical possibilities are broader than they ever have been. they will say "rap destroyed music" but i dont know, hearing bars being spit over jazzy tunes is something i never knew i needed. contemporary music at it's finest to be found right here

[@sakirtapsavosudef1382]

[@jooch_exe]

"There's no good music being made in the modern day" Says more about those people than the actual music.

These sounds enchants me. These harmonies flies me to another reality. Magical music. Thank you.

I am surprised i am not seeing more comments about the amazingness of this beautiful music being accompanied by 40+ minutes of cerebral moving paintings - multifaceted art in such a lovely way - Thank you Alfa Mist, God bless you and everyone listening

[@SihleMakhunga]

The lyrics on Apho are articulated in a language (Xhosa) from my Country, South Africa!!!! - Great soothing music, We appreciate the hard work, passion, and love put into your sound, it's genuine, distinct, and memorable, We Thank You.

The brilliance and grace of improvisational Jazz and groove has been such a blessing across the world. It differentiates what is possible and sustainable for sanity versus the many other possible negative scopes/themes in life. Thank you. The very mature harmonies and melodies you are producing are Rhythmic reassurances to the heart and soul of many.

feel like I need to put my seatbelt on for this one

[@davidzurutuza2673]

This album is a mix of highlights from each decade of jazz. Sounds 60's, 70's, 80's and a touch of 90's production. Definitely my favourite Alfa's album so far.

[@chelseaphilice7458]

So ready for this . Vacation soon!

We've been patiently waiting for this. Thank you Alfa for this beautiful music!

[@orangepuffs6796]

I've listened to this album a few times now, and while the music is superb, the real star of the show is the soul-bearing lyrics from the man himself. Mental illness, systemic oppression, Loneliness, and Future Anxiety are all covered by Alfa, leading to a more subdued, soulful, sound, which makes the more active tracks like Apho and BC shine even brighter, aided by the continuous format of this album. The progressive experimentalism ties the entire thing together, and completes the package with a sound that's masterful, methodical, and soulful, without being too much of a downer to never listen to it on normal days. Overall, an excellent album from Mr. Sekitoleko!

Shoutout to Alfa Mist for getting this together, Respect to everyone in the band. Jamie Leeming is great on guitar as always. Cheers, my 2 year old and me will have this on the playlist for eternity.

What a beautiful music album

[@aprylemusic]

Amazing album. The evolution is really great to hear. I was able to see him live last year in Berlin and it was really moving to see how much energy, effort and soul everyone put into the music, pouring their hearts into it. Hearing this type of music live really enriches the experience so much - it's the way Jazz was meant to be experienced. Looking forward to seeing you again in the future! :)

[@tobikroyzla200]
