Decent combo here with Herbie Hancock and John Mayer . I think this is jazz ? It's certainly funky

It's got the funky alright. Nice one. That John Mayer is a clever bugger.

On a side note I saw Joss Stone at the Notes From The Hard Road concert last year. Incredible voice.

    Must have a listen to some of Joss Stone's music . I've made a note !

    Here's a track from Steely Dan ( probably my all time favourite band / Duo ).

    Their songs are a mix of jazz/funk/rock and in all reality they have their own genre . Was going to post it on "Nuggets music videos" ( 3rd person!?) but it may be more suited on this thread .

    It's their last track from their last recorded studio album . Slide show is a bit odd but it's best to close your eyes with this song !

    Here's one from Herbie Hancock. I've only just started listening to a few of his tunes on Youtube, but I think I may have to get my hands on one or two of his albums.

    This is part 2 of the song Chameleon. Part 1 is a pretty cool rambling funk song. Part 2 is a bit more up tempo.

    Gotta love the funk.

    Have seen 2001 so many times - great sci-fi . Richard Strauss' original was magnificent but the funky version was great as well .

    Here's some more funky jazz from the "Down to the Bone" crew . Think they're still kickin around too .

    I guess I would be struggling to debate that this is Soul Jazz. Maybe I could argue that ... nuh. Got nuthing.

    But i like this thread, and I really get a kick when Tom looks at the hippie and sings that he should cut his hair. Check the fashions! Tom seems to dress to the left. And old shaky neil looks totally strung out. CSN in town at present too.

    Nice one Franky. Let's put that one down as quasi jazz.

    I've not listened to a lot of CSN but I have Graham Nash's Songs for Beginners. It's got some great guest appearances, David Crosby, Jerry Garcia and Neil Young to name a few. Military Madness is right up there as one of my favourite songs. I may have to post it on Macca's thread.

    Good video Franky and a good combo . Liked the song as well obviously .

    Was watching the Wales/England 6 nations match this morning on replay and there was Tom , looking resplendent in the crowd ! Beaming smile in the end as well .

    Cheers ®

    Here are a couple I quite like... firstly an Anglo/Japanese collaboration known as United Future Organization "I Love My Baby, My Baby Loves Jazz":

    King Crimson Jazz Trio with "21st Century Schizoid Man" (as, if you know the original, you have never heard it before):

    I've just stumbled on the soundtrack to the movie Lialeh. It's by the legendary session drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. From what I understand it's probably his first true solo album.

    The movie Lialeh was apparently described as the first black porn movie. And, believe what you will, I've never seen the movie and didn't discover the album by watching it.

    I'm never very good at these sort of things, so I hope people see this song I've posted for our beloved Jimmy in the right light.

    And how about that Peggy Lee ... this song helped launch her career. A huge hit back in the early 40's.

    Peggy came from North Dakota and was married 4 times. Other notable Peggy Lee hits were "Fever", "Heart", "Is that all there is" and her first no.1 hit "Somebody else is taking my place."

    A super talent was Peggy Lee ...

    Feeling a bit deflated after today. I seem to be gravitating towards certain songs. This is one.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
