Jazz ..... ? The Commitments!

Did you ever read the book "the Commitments" ...
or did you ever see the movie?

That's how I look at jazz-music ... meaningless and cold
just showing off the technical talents ...


It's Funk and Soul that we need!

(Thanx to JAVED for inspiration)

The movie? About the white Irish soul band? It's a great one.

Great film.

I love the bit when they're trying to name the band and one of them comes up with: "The fucking idiots"

And...
Lead singer : How do U like 'my' group?
Backing singer : Fuck off!

'jazz is musical masturbation'

( they were a soul band, but one of them preferred to play jazz. They weren't happy. )

Is that what you meant ThataintFunky?

Most funk & soul artists got alot of their inspiration from the jazz musicians that came before them.
