The probable retirement albums does sound like a bit of a misnomer. However, I do get why we could call them like this. For instance, Woman by Jill Scott may not be her current last release – she does find herself being a featured guest on many tunes –, yet she did not follow up the LP. I agree, she might do so by the next year, though she kept saying that in the previous ones. Still, one would be hard pressed to be disappointed in case she decided to be a special guest on other people's songs for the rest of her career, because Woman serves as a fine capstone to her opus. This is another one of the peaks of R&B, though we have to be honest – she is more of a classicist about a genre. While her soundscape may sound modern, they do contain a certain aura of her idols.

“To study the self is to forget the self” Dōgen Lately, in my solitude, I have been studying the self, my self. I know this sounds like it’s going down the “self” ish rabbit hole. But it’s not. So stay with me please. I have been reflecting on the gravity of making music for most of my life. Specifically, recording professionally for 3 decades. After all, I began piano lessons at 6 years of age. I’m in it and it’s in me. Aldo, it’s interesting how the sheer nature of the piano, my muse and master, tends to be a lonely one. Whether practicing, rehearsing, composing, arranging, recording, producing or performing in varied diverse settings. I am often in all of this alone. True. But not true. This, this realization followed by a flood of thankfulness happened. In studying myself, I forgot myself. I concluded that the time had come for a “shout out loud” of love for all of the individuals (sound engineers, musicians, writers, visual artists and designers, and believers) that have become my collective holy tribe. That contributed to what is now a catalogue of 300 recorded tracks. (I didn’t count until I had to personally organize them for metadata info and genre labeling.) So. Thank you. I cherish.
