Jazz, It's Not Dead, It Just Smells Funny - Jack Jack's Jazz

[Jack Jack 415]

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 .

Here's a nice track from "Pieces of a Dream"

Nice one Macca.

I'm glad you thought of this thread. Every now I then I enjoy revisiting the songs posted so far.

I've started listing to some Marc Moulin. Here's a couple from the album/group Placebo

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):

[hardtack 11,116]

Ronny Jordan meets DJ Krush (brilliant Japanese turntablizer) - "Love, I Never Had it So Good":

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.

Here's a track from "Nils" album "What the Funk" . This song was no.1 on the Jazz "Billboard" top 15 for about 12 weeks .

He's been around for yonks .

This is one of my favourite albums - esp to get me moving !!

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 ...
