**Every Monday I will try to post some music, just to brighten up someone's day.**
**I stole this idea from [Ruben](<https://rubenerd.com/tag/music-monday/>).**

_Yes, it's Thursday._
And yes, it's been a while.

A lot of new Jazz releases add some drum machines, rapping and so on.
I am all for progress, but I don't like this particular route.

[Ambrose Akinmusire](https://www.ambroseakinmusire.com)  goes a different route.
I am not an expert (far from it), but what I hear are ****amazing**** harmonies and trumpet in the mellow style of Tomasz Stanko.
It's unapologetically modern without jumping onto pop music.
I love it!
