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.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
