We will be in touch
So I had Jazz fm on the digital this morning in the other room and the usual Kenny G stuff is on. Then....
Ivan ''boogaloo joe'' Jones came on.
I think I feel a need to reimerse myself in Jazz 😀
Any other similar Jazz that I should consider? Funky no?
Maybe the [url= http://open.spotify.com/album/3DJmnT8XXWfYNTw1LmgZp6 ]Dave Weckl Band[/url]?
Crusty Bun BarmCake and the Wigan shoeboy whistlers play a dope dowhoop version of summertime using nothing but lost chords and syncopated dropped timing man.
Try some of the following,
Billy Cobham
Charles Earland
Les McCann
The Headhunters
Herbie Hancock(electric/fusion stuff)
Jimmy Smith
Gil Scot Heron(some of his stuff more soul jazz but good)
Lonnie Liston Smith
Miles Davis(again some of his electric fusion stuff- late 60's early 70's)
Nathan Haines modern stuff
Nina Simone Funkier than a mosquitos tweeter
The Quantic Soul Orchestra
Roy Ayers
The Blackbyrds
Hope this helps.
Big band/swing?
