I hope you get to see Vega Trails as they are outstanding. I've been lucky to see them twice. Once playing from their first album as a duo in a church in London and then another time playing with a string quartet to enhance the overall experience. They are superb and watching Milo spin his bass is mesmerising. As for the new FLEA album, it's perfect music for me to go out driving to. A bit of fun and something my wife can enjoy a lot too. It's sunny here today and this feels good. We get to see him play it live in a few weeks time. The Marilyn/Anders album is excellent and a lovely quiet listen. They are both such fine musicians and lovely to hear them in a duo context.I need to check out the Gregory.....
I’ve seen the Flea record derive a lot of controversy but honestly to me it’s no different than Andre 3000 putting out a solo piano thing, or Jeff Goldblum putting out a few subpar big band records. They’re vanity projects - that’s all, and it’s fine. They’re not competing in any meaningful way with Julian Lage for example or Brad Mehldau or anything on ECM….

Vega Trails… they are always somewhere near, yet so far away :) I just need to find the right time (with my daily job and everything else).
