[Jazz] Post your Jazz Playlists in here.

Hey guys,

 

In this thread i wanted to share my jazz playlists with you.

 

The first time i heard about jazz was in an interview with Radiohead. They mentioned Bitches Brew by Miles Davis as one of their inspirations. I bought the cd in 1997 but was shocked with the music. Its weird rhythms, harmonies (or lack of) and no song structure. I was used listening to alternative rock like Radiohead and Dinosaur Jr.

 

In 1998 i was going to concerts alot and my curiosity led me to a jam session in a jazz club. There were four people playing, drums, bass, piano and saxophone. It was then i heard and saw the magic of jazz. They were improvising arround a standard theme and they were really enjoying the jam. Creating 'new' music as they were playing. Since that day i understood what jazz was, but it still took me some more years to finally appreciate Bitches Brew by Miles Davis.

Femmes fatales & Detectives 

 

There she is, a curvy shadow angled on the frosted glass of your detective agency door: the femme fatale who needs your help, all smoldering eyes, peek-a-boo bangs, full shapely breasts and legs up to her neck. You're broke and she's hiring... Will you take the case?

My taste in jazz music. Lots of newer great undersovered talent and a few known artists. Most songs from the 90s, 2000s, 2010s. Beautiful classy, elegant, soothing jazz tunes. All are instrumental no vocals. laid back, tight, slick, passionate, intimate, serious, subtle, sexy, interesting rhythms. Sub generes from Modern Creative, Contemporary, Progressive, Mainstream Bands mostly in trio, quartet & some quintet format. Piano, Saxophone, Trumpet, Vibraphone, Acoustic/Elertric, Guitar, Bass and most importantly jazz drums. Dynamic colourful creative drumming. Cross sticking on every track in various ways. If you know of any other songs like these that aren't on the list fill free to comment.
