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.

London Jazz - The New Generation.

I made this playlist because I really dig the fresh sounds coming from London’s new jazz scene! Jazz influenced by hip hop, rnb, electronic and more

i really love soft jazz; there's something about the soothing ambience of jazz that makes it such an enjoyable easy-listening niche of music. in this playlist, i try to diversify the range of soft jazz, but there's plenty of classics there too!
