The Jazz Appreciation Thread

[FVD]

But wait, there's more!

Weather Report - Gibraltar (amazing drum and percussion work from Alex Acuna and Marco Badrena. Nice sax work from Wayne Shorter as expected but bizarre that there's hardly any focus on Joe Zawinul and Jaco Pastorius (RIP to the both of them))

Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior
[YT]lObVilGPjHc[/YT]

Niacin - Mean Streets (amazing Van Halen cover. Couldn't find an actual clip but nothing than a fan replicating Dennis Chambers on the drums. Awesome nonetheless)

Miles Davis' "Milestones"

I went to see Sting last year and couldn't help notice the talents of his backup vocalist Jo Lawry. Turns out she has a modern vocal jazz album that I think has some real good tunes on it.

Nice bump. I'm digging this "Black Hole Sun" song.

 

[E-Man]

I was asked to make a jazz mix featuring the old classics for someone, and now I'm stuck in the heavenly world of jazz. It's insane how much talent worked together at the time. The Milestones album is pretty much like if Batman, Spider-man, and the X-Men hooked up just to whoop some ass and do some dancing in the meantime.

Just realized that I haven't bumped this all year with different music. Ah well. Here goes.

Gregory Porter's "Be Good" is a song that many guys could probably relate to at some point. Check it out.

E-Man, what are your thoughts on Robert Johnson?

 

[E-Man]

E-Man, what are your thoughts on Robert Johnson?

He's blues, which isn't really my cup of tea despite being born in Dallas. I recognize the talent, but I can't really say that I'm a fan. Love the backstory though. Myths can be more fun than reality sometimes.

Miles Davis is the man. Also been spinning some Bohren & Der Club of Gore lately, fantastic stuff.
