[upbeat music] Welcome everyone to our March edition of Fresh Spin Friday, bringing you some of our favorite music that got released in the month of March 2026. And we're gonna kick it off with a very interesting album from bassist Flea, famously of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Flea put out an album really honoring his roots as a trumpeter. Fle- Flea starting on the trumpet before playing the bass and, uh, and really expressing his love of jazz. And this is really great. Whenever a great musician from a whole other genre that you don't even think about, um, as jazz, comes into our world a little bit and makes some music. Um, this first track I'm gonna play here, one of the singles, uh, of the album is called Traffic Lights, and it features none other than Radiohead's Thom Yorke.
