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 ®

    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):

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
