This is a mix of mostly avant-garde jazz and ambient music with an engaging, mellow, and atmospheric feel. All songs (but one) from 2019. This is in a series I’ve been making since 2004 featuring recent independent music. I also posted mixes of 2019 indie rock and pop (Yellowjacket), electronic pop (Sun), and hip hop and international sounds (Between Breaths) — those can be found on my Mixcloud page and here on this site. The cover photo is an excerpt from an early 1900s German postcard, one of my collection of German anthpomorphic root vegetable postcards from the period.
