Suite 1 of 4. 2 hours 23 minutes. 31 tracks. Opening with Portishead, closing with Stevie Wonder.
Short release note
I’m very proud of the compilation and curation of Suite 1 of my third Grand Spring Affair: a musical collage of 2 hours and 23 minutes titled 'Overjoyed'. 'Glory Box' is the title of the full project, referring to the Portishead opening track.
Suite 2 (Pop), Suite 3 (House) and Suite 4 (Finale) were planned, subject to change, for 12, 19 and 26 April 2025 on SoundCloud. Listen and share freely.
The guiding tagline for the whole project is 'Hold On Tight During The Ride'.
"Hold On Tight During The Ride." Project tagline.

Five short windows into the structure of Suite 1.
Opening block
Tracks 1–4 set up the suite in a cinematic, slightly off-centre way: Portishead, Blue Chemise, Angelo Badalamenti and Ariel Pink.
Jazz/soul axis
From Coltrane via SAULT, Cal Tjader and Donald Byrd, the jazz/soul axis of the set comes into view.
Midsection
From The Real Thing and Lenine to Double, Simply Red and Carlos Niño, the midsection keeps the suite warm and open.
Live turn
Doechii, Seeed, Lady Gaga and Lonnie Liston Smith bring in a looser, more live-oriented block.
Closing stretch
JAB, David Bowie & Pat Metheny Group and Stevie Wonder make up the closing stretch of Suite 1.

The homepage carried the shorter release version of this post. Backlog held the longer version with the tracklist.
This standalone URL keeps those two source forms together: a dedicated landing page for the suite, without adding extra layers of invented copy.
