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.

My name is Greg Robbins - I'm a jazz vocalist from Atlanta, Georgia now in New York City. I made a playlist called "Atlanta Jazz Legends" that spotlights jazz musicians - mostly currently active - who have greatly impacted the Atlanta jazz scene (both people originally from there and transplants).

The Atlanta jazz scene, and its musicians, have made a significant contribution to the jazz world, and have heavily shaped the artist that I am today. Some of these people are well known internationally, and some are hidden gem artists who need to be heard!

Cheers,

Greg

I really like geographically specific playlists. It’s cool to hear what’s happening in other cities, especially those hidden gems. 

Thanks for compiling and sharing.

Hi all! Great seeing the recent activity I’m the thread. It inspired me to jump back in.

This playlist features contemporary jazz groups and jazz musicians, with a spotlight on tracks that are genre benders. Some personal favorites are tracks by Brad Mehldau, Dumbwaiter and ... dang! I like them all!

Congratulations with this playlist.

I am just listening with a glass of wine.

Several names I do not know, probably because I am from elsewhere on this planet...

Best wishes
