Denzel Curry did a live set of his latest album at Electric Lady in NYC with the same jazz band he did his TinyDesk concert with. I'm absolutely loving it.

Mostly Hiromi, still. We went to see her in concert at Yoshi's last weekend, which was great. She was playing with a new band and it was all new music so my "studying up" didn't help. Someone said on Reddit that they're recording now, maybe a new album?
Here's a wonderful duet of Spain with Chick Corea. (They recorded a live album together in 2008.) I haven't actually listened to a lot of jazz, so I also listened to the original recording of Spain a few times to understand the theme. Some jazz standards seem like they're the opposite of catchy, but good once you get into them.
I recently learned about The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet, it's a banger
With that description, I had to click on it! It turned out surprisingly catchy.
Followed this for a while, really interesting to see how many leads there were but ultimately never becoming solved. Plenty of people I knew who were involved in trying to find the artist behind it and everything led to a dead end.
Some great releases coming out today:
Gia Margaret - Romantic Piano
Cloak - Black Flame Eternal
Mournful Congregation - The Exuviae of Gods Part II
Dratna - Fomoraigh
Violent Sin - Serpent's Call
Usnea - Bathed in Light
Among others (Nattverd, Immortal, Mesathrim...)
The past week I've really been digging into hardcore / metallic hardcore and thoroughly enjoying it - Drain and Knocked Loose, in particular.
Woulg - Bubblegum (2021)
If you like some more dub-aligned IDM, this is the spot.
I've been listening to *Immortal almost non-stop. Black metal simply doesn't get better, and it's not even close (in my opinion!)
Specifically their albums At the Heart of Winter and Sons of Northern Darkness are as close to a black metal masterpiece as you're gonna get
