The Rafik Zone

Eternally classic. Perfect music to contemplate current events.

Billy Roberts "Hey Joe"- first ever recording 1961/62 A real gem of music history!

Really digging this album by the great Yusef Lateef. I'm currently deep in the woodshed studying his Repository of Scales and Melodic Patterns. Truly a jazz master. Music is a lifelong journey.

Digging the harpsichord at the opening. Epic!

One of the most important flute compositions of the 20th century. A wonderful version. 

Jazz from Japan 1973:  Jiro Inagaki and Soul Media. All their music is great. Feels like it was recorded yesterday!

Very timely. Perfect to watch while being on lockdown... Enjoy~! #cultcinemaclassics

 Godfrey's Reggio documentary original soundtrack replaced with newer one from Philip Glass 1998 re-recorded album «Koyaanisqatsi». An eerily prophetic film clip showing urban decay. Brings to mind what we are going through now with the Covid pandemic.

A gem of 20th century classical music. Perfect for late night listening. Gidon Kremer on violin.

RIP Jimmy Heath.  One of the greats.

Wow it's been quite a while since I have posted anything on Blogger!  8 years to be exact. I am now returning to my main passion of music. As a musician I'm shifting gears moving into a new direction of creativity and have been listening to more interesting and thoughtful music.  It's what I always do, but will be focusing more on classical and avantegarde music I'll be posting more in the coming days and weeks so stay tuned. The items I post are basically artists and music that I want to return to listen and study. Hope you enjoy. Here is something #greenredproductions that is perfect for night listening.#binauralmusic.
