Black Milk, Judy Bailey Quartet, Telehealth, and more of my favorite albums from May 2026

black milk

Another good month of new music. Tina Edward’s Jazz-ish Jazz Club continues to provide a great source of discovery to augment my KEXP/Spotify/internet pipeline.

Black Milk – Ceremony

One of my all-time favorite rapper/producers. Nine albums in. Seems like he’s just getting better.

Judy Bailey Quartet – Colours

Amazing album. Originally from 1976 but just got re-released (?) and I got it through Jazz-ish Jazz. It’s incredible.

Telehealth – Green World Image

Something a bit different than my usual jazz/rap rotation. Some high-energy punk rock here.

Doctor Bionic – Electric Pollen

A new to me artist. I really like this album.

Cadence Weapon – Forager

I’ve never heard Cadence Weapon before, but I like this one a lot.

Liam Bailey – Shadow Town

I really like Liam Bailey’s songwriting and reggae influences.
