It's here! More than one year and two manufacturers later, my minty-fresh green vinyl is in my hands. Hilmar Jenssson - guitar, Andrés Thór - guitar and pedal steel, Nicolas Moreaux - bass & yours truly on drums. sunnyskyrecords.com#onward-lp #jazzsky #jazzguitar #musicsky #jazzvinyl #labrador

The coffee where I teach has gone way downhill. But the piano holds its tuning better than any I've heard.

Listening to an advance copy of Enzo Favata’s ECM debut. Brilliant music. He’s currently on a duo tour of Iceland with Sunna so at least I have this music and my dog to keep me company. #jazzsky #musicsky

Doing the zipline at night because it’s too hot during the day. Virginia Beach is also getting some smoke from Canada which makes it a little sketchy.

Neskaupstaðir was awesome yesterday. The first picture is of the venue, Tónspil. Great place to play. Nice people. Good sound. What's not to like?

Thanks to @viddjupid.bsky.social for the great time in Ísafjörður. The concert with Freysteinn was sold out. Lots of fun.

There’s still a little snow on the street in Ísafjörður, Iceland. Looking forward to the gig with Freysteinn tomorrow.

I went to a house concert this weekend at Gljúfrasteinn, the house of Halldór Laxness. Took this picture of the river that runs next to the house. #iceland #icelandnature #photographylover

This protest in 1950 shows how long this has been an issue. But also, look how nice the hand painted signs are! Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/08/m...

We saw this mural on a recent trip to Glasgow. One of many by the artist called Smug, this is supposed to be St. Mungo, the founder of Glasgow. But is it just a coincidence that the artist known for including robins in everything they do, made him look like Robin Williams?

My new album is out! Subtext (vol.1) is a collection of all the music I’ve written to play in the background of my podcast so far. Most of it is quite mellow with subtle improvisation. Perfect rainy day music. scottmclemore.bandcamp.com/album/su… #musicsky #jazzsky

Revisiting this is helping me battle this cold. Campfire Headphase occupies a specific place in my musical development which I’m only now discovering was not just a guilty pleasure.

Yay! I did it! 🙄 I'm totally going to take all my music off Spotify as soon as I get a chance. This is a crappy company that is making it more difficult to be a musician every single day.
