Death From Above Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I don't know if I'm really the one qualified to make this thread go, but I'll give it a shot getting it started. Here's a very spacy beginning. http://youtu.be/E2_ziDb6tOo http://youtu.be/wosVm5z7BwM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I can't seem to find the studio version of this on youtube, but you get the idea. This version of Everything In It's Right Place has a Burt Bacharach kind of feel which is fascinating concept to me. There's some tremendous stuff on Spotify, if you can use that. I went nuts on Charlie Parker. There's a collection of those War Bond concerts that he lead where in between sets they're telling people to purchase war bonds to support the troops. Brilliant shit.

LooseCannon Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I don't like listening to instrumental music. Does anyone want to pimp some great jazz vocalists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tele-Viper Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (early) Peggy Lee is my favorite. Also, Blossom Dearie, Johnny Hartman, Abbey Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share Posted October 20, 2013 Man this is amazing. Though it's hard to classify really. Certainly not any form of recognizable jazz, but it sure doesn't seem to fit better anywhere else either so here I put it. Vol. 2 Judges was a slightly better overall album at least to my early impressions, but the highs on Vol. 3 are pretty mind blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Bugg Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Not trying to turn this post into a shill or anything, but if you look at the Youtube link in my signature I've got an entire library of great contemporary jazz songs uploaded (and expanding). Here's one of the tracks, relaxing yet uptempo enough for the steppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tele-Viper Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Dug out this old Blue Mitchell album, which smokes like crazy. Did some reading up on it and apparently it sat in the can for over two decades before being released, which seems crazy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tele-Viper Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Raise your hand if you've never heard of Tubby Hayes. Next time the conversation turns to who was the greatest tenor saxophonist of the 50's and early 60's, remember his take on Tin Tin Deo. Every time I hear it, I stand slack-jawed and befuddled. What an incredible musician! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
