This is one of my original Sets from 2012, which means it's 80% all-time favorites.

Great atmosphere-evoking music that transports me to luscious summers of younger days. And here summer just ended!

That's the kind of year it's been. And I'm thinking that Jazz Gumbo is coming to an end. Time to shift up to the flow of change that's always tugging us into the unknown.

If nowhere else, I'll stay online for now at obsidianblooms.blogspot.com , but perhaps I'll pop up somewhere to share this music that I'm still loving and that's still loving me.

Thrive!

One of the very first JG Sets, from almost 8 years ago. A lot of my favorites are here.
It's a good time for re-posting, as COVID 19 has shut down our studio along with so much else.
Be well out there and enjoy!

Thrive!
