The Jazz Playlist (Even For The Uninitiated). Just thought I'd share a few of my favorite jazz tracks that I've recently discovered or is on my ipod playlist that I think most will enjoy. > "Be Courageous" by Thompson Egbo-Egbo. This one I heard on the radio one Saturday afternoon on a favorite radio show of mine by Walter Venafro. https://www.youtube.com/w...sXMxFTw8Vg > "Love Is The Message" by Yusef Dayes, Alfa Mist Ft. Mansur Brown London jazz scene! https://www.youtube.com/w...BiOf-IFe-o > "Mirage" by Jon Luc Ponte Came across this on a Spotify playlist. Somehow I picture Crokett and Tubbs cruising to this on a sunny afternoon. https://www.youtube.com/w..._YRaFEOUiM > "Hopopono" by GoGo Penguin Mercury Prize nominees (and possibly winners) from a few years back. There's strong debate on whether this is jazz or not. https://www.youtube.com/w...UtAV_azaBc > "Come As You Are" by Charlie Hunter. Jazz bassist extraordinaire Hunter's take on the grunge classic. Depending on your attatchment to the original you'll either love it or hate it. You know where I stand. https://www.youtube.com/w...1XXShTo22E > "Inner Flight" by Makaya McCraven. Chicago drummer McCraven is a chop shop artist. Phenomenal drummer that he is, he takes his live shows and remixes them in the studio to awesome affect. https://www.youtube.com/w...41dFHSiEQc > "San Lorenzo" by The Pat Metheny Group. I've gone most of my life having never heard this song until last week when my "friend" Walter Venafro played him on the radio. It's instantly one of my favorite songs. https://www.youtube.com/w...JPUZX45_sA* *studio version found on Spotify > "The Eraser" by Christian Scott. Christian Scott is easily one of the best artists alive. For the uninitiated there's no better place to start than with his cover of Thom Yorke's "The Eraser". https://www.youtube.com/w...Ijh2oUoU_M > "Lift Off" by Tom Misch and Yusef Dayes Ft. Rocco Palladino. Came across this while doing a search for Yusef Dayes. Yusef Dayes is one of today's premiere drummers. https://www.youtube.com/w...7GaK516Wkk > "Sniff" by Domi and JD Beck. Teen phenoms Domi and JD Beck have been threatening to put out an album for over a year now. It's time to stop waiting and just enjoy the NORD Live's that they put out occasionally. https://www.youtube.com/w...JDARjzHhZE > "Spain" and "Departing" by Jesus Molina. Jesus Molina is an internet phenomenon and for good reason. His keyboard skills are top notch. Here's two songs from him, one a spectacle of riches, the other more on his Christopher Cross tip if Cross were a jazz musician. |

Great playlist. It´s funny because I was just thinking right now if Alfa Mist was ever mentioned at this forum. Alfa Mist is one of the new artists I listen to most. |

Most definitely. I had a few tracks of his I could've easily put on here, but I just couldn't resist the Mist-Dayes-Brown combo. The London scene is something else. |

. - yes, and I forgot to say I love Tom Misch also. |

Ghost Note . Not pure jazz, but a jazzy funk. Mono Neon plays bass there. They are Prince fans and there is a small snippet of America in the middle. .

I'm familiar with Mono Neon. He sits in on a lot of Ziljian Live sessions. He also made a splash remixing Cardi B rants a few years ago. |

Of course! This song is deeply entrenched in the Sample Bible. |

While I'm usually drawn to the funkier and soulful end of Jazz I try to keep an open mind. | |

Your welcome. I tend to lean more towards the fushiony side of jazz which is probably why I like Christian Scott so much. JD beck MUST be influenced by Jungle. How he plays it I have no idea.

Yes, sorry, it's a bit of an obsession of mine. |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Even then I had to cull a bunch of favourites.
|
Love Domi and Beck BTW - they're both great, but I don't think that I've ever been more impressed by a drummer (and I've seen legends like Elvin Jones). There's been loads of great musicians emerge in recent years (Mono Neon, Thundercat, Lious Cole etc), it kind of makes Prince's concern about the state of traditional musicianship seem really misplaced. |

I read somewhere that the internet has ushered in a new wave of virtuoso musicians (and I didn't say invented) and I think it's true. The visibility, plus the willingness to add more mainstream sounds that would make Wynton Marsalis bash his head in, are major factors. I really get a kick out of Domi and Beck, and his playing is amazing, but for my money no one beats Yusef Dayes when it comes to drumming. The things he does. But Domi and Beck were featured by The New York Times no less last year so they're poised to make an impact, if only they'd release their album already! > New York Times Article https://www.nytimes.com/i...-domi.html > Yusef Dayes being his awesome self! |

Good question. Does this guy have the answers? |

Boney - Albums The Beat, Futuresoul, Honestly, and Shine Wayman Tisdale Great bassist and former NBA player - Albums Power Forward, Hang Time, In The Zone, and Face To Face Norman Brown - Albums After The Storm, Just Chillin Lindsey Webster - Songs Fool Me Once and It's Not You, It's Me Albums You Change and Love Inside Thievery Corporation - They mix jazz with other elements. Check out their albums Saudade and the Richest Man In Babylon. I like Un Simple histoire from that album and another song they have out there called Lebanese Blonde.
