What an awesomely quirky collaboration between guitarist/producer Blake Mills, and journeyman bassist Pino Palladino. All instrumental, with no particular genre that I would identify necessarily. The recording quality is great - I am sitting here shaking in my seat from the bass - but the imaging is also spot on and the choice of instrumentation to fill out the bass (I assume Pino wrote most of these on his bass first) are just genius. Worth a listen.

I am seeing only track 7 written by Pino and 4 tracks by Chris Dave and 1 each by 3 guys I don’t know. Have it in my queue to listen to in a bit.

oh interesting - the Qobuz description mentioned Pino sending a track to Blake and that track was what became Ekuté which is track 3. Maybe he is too kind with writing credits 
Got busy doing stuff and forgot to post these:
Mario Adnet “Jobim Jazz” . . . love this cd. Nice arrangements and playing and of course the great songs.
Followed by
Miles Davis “In a Silent Way” Mobile Fidelity SACD
Man this is so damned tight and some of my favorite Miles trumpeting. Who else would have played what he played here?
Finally this masterpiece from THE jazz singer. . .the one, the only Betty Carter.
Betty Carter “I’m Yours, You’re Mine”
