Cambodian Rocks - various artists. Surprisingly good early 70s music, from a doomed generation.

I read the following article in the Smithsonian:  Before the 'Baby Shark' Song Made the Hot 100, 'Silly Symphonies' Were All the Rage.  It was written assuming the reader was familiar with the Baby Shark song and unfamiliar with the Silly Symphony cartoons.  I'm a huge fan of Silly Symphonies and had never heard of the Baby Shark song - so I was feeling old and out of touch.   :(  Then I listened to the Baby Shark song and felt much, much better about being old and out of touch.   :) 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I got that several years ago on your recommendation.  That is a really good album; so thanks for the recommendation.

You may be interested to know that the album inspired a rather good documentary.

"Filmmaker John Pirozzi received a copy of the album while in Cambodia filming City of Ghosts and began researching the stories of the artists. Eventually, he tracked down material to create Don't Think I've Forgotten, a 2015 documentary about pre-Khmer Rouge Cambodian music which takes its name from a Sinn Sisamouth song."

Kamasi Washington - Heaven And Earth (2018)

You can't fault the man for lack of ambition - the first recording he ever released under this name was a 3+hour triple CD album modestly entitled "The Epic". This one contains a mere 2.5 hours of music, by a core nonet, supplemented by multiple lead vocalists, a full choir, a backing orchestra, and dozens of other "additional" musicians and vocalists.

Hard to categorize the results, but one thing Washington is doing is taking the lost decade of the 70s and putting back into the center of the jazz tradition. As in example, the first track is a cover of the theme song to the Bruce Lee movie "Fists of Fury", but layered on top of an early 70s funk beat, trading off blistering instrumental solos, soaring choir parts, and a badass Sam Jackson-style testifying voice over.  If it works for you, the rest of the album is worth a listen, if not skip it.

I'm not really sold on Washington as a saxophone player, but the album is a fun listen.

CNN keeping us old people informed:

Bryan Adams is not Ryan Adams

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I think Ryan finally broke down and played Summer of 69 though.
