This is an exceptional cover of the famous Miles Davis' track "Blue In Green" by guitarist John McLaughlin (live in London, 1989) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQZg_2oCfBs

Oh, here's the addy for my favorite FATTBURGER song that I forgot to post above!
It's a great song for late at night/ early in the morning.

And here's two great songs by Sade! I fell in love with her voice the minute I heard it!
Some might consider her "pop" but she's always been a jazz singer to me! Maybe pop/jazz fusion?

NuevaVida -> RE: A thread for the cool people out there. (12/29/2011 11:06:02 PM)

Oh I love Sade.  I've seen her twice in concert - so sultry and talented.

Not sure I'd classify her as jazz. Pop/Jazz/Fusion could work!

Here's one of my favorites by Sade.

One thing I (don't) like about her singing is that she either "holds back" or doesn't inhale enough air to get certain notes out strongly enough.


I always perceived that as a conscious truncation.

Didn't someone once say that Jazz is silence carved up by the instruments?

Health,

Moonhead -> RE: A thread for the cool people out there. (12/30/2011 8:12:33 AM)

I think that was Count Basie's line, though I'm probably wrong. There were a lot of minimalists playing jazz before he started getting attention...

Aswad, I imagine it would be conscious if it served to make the sound more pleasant to the ear.

And here's a very pretty sng by Elaine Elias.

"The waters of March."

popeye1250 -> RE: A thread for the cool people out there. (1/5/2012 1:03:52 AM)

Aswad, oh yes she does sound good but to my ear it just sounds like there's something "missing."

Now, here's a sexy little black dress of a song that I'm sure you and the other Jazz lovers will like by Maysa!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AaY2phOPe4&list=FLiaMPp0XwH5CSqnTadl6HPQ&index=305&feature=plpp_video




popeye1250 -> RE: A thread for the cool people out there. (1/9/2012 12:23:55 AM)

Even if you don't care for Jazz you'll love this!

Aswad, here's one for you but, if you're a fan you've probably heard it before but it's a great song by Diana Krall! Enjoy!

popeye1250 -> RE: A thread for the cool people out there. (1/16/2012 1:28:47 AM)

Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin - Mediterranean Sundance (Live in San Francisco version) - this is phenomenal!





I have a half-speed-mastered version of "Friday Night in San Francisco" (vinyl) - beautiful.

You ever get a chance to hear this on a good turntable/cartridge combo with tube electronics and good speakers that can image - it's just breathtaking.




Hippiekinkster -> RE: A thread for the cool people out there. (1/17/2012 10:28:29 PM)

Not precisely Jazz, but
Jeff Beck and Imogen Heap - "Rollin' and Tumblin'"
