OT: Post some Tasty Jazz Flavored Tunes

This was the first piece of Jean-Luc Ponty’s that I heard, lo these many years ago. I couldn’t get over the texture of it, wich I still love.

I know for charting this song was considered "pop" or "rock" but I always thought it had more of a jazz vibe to it.

I consider her pure jazz - not "pop." Audio Viagra.

I really don't consider her a solo artist because so much of her band has been together for so long. They are among my top ten favorite "bands" of all time.

Rick's video just came out today.
Oscar Peterson - The greatest solo of all time ? You be the judge.
BTW. Rick's programs are always informative and entertaining. He has 2.45 million subscribers.
 
This is a group that some of you may have heard of, and they are quite good. The only jazz group I know of that has a tap dancer for additional sounds. Nice vocal too.

Thanks Replicant - and another great smooth jazzy Michael Franks tune:

This piece by Hiromi Uehara, the young Japanese pianist who played in the Olympic Opening Ceremony, rivals the great Art Tatum. The last 2 minutes is something else!

 
My classmate and good friend, Paul Boehmke, who just passed away last year, may he rest in peace. Nice blues sax solo.

 
Johnny Johnson, Chuck Berry's long time piano player, with his own boogie solo. Johnson is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a sideman. Listen to his keyboards on You Never Can Tell.

New Orleans is jazz.

I was about 10 when my dad returned from a business trip to New Orleans with an autographed copy of the "plenty of Pete" album by Pete Fountain as a gift for me. The only song I could ever even come close to emulating was "Stranger on the Shore". Hearing it again always brings back fond memories of my dad....

@MSGRET Another one of his great songs. That's awesome you got to meet him and Ike Cole.

My father was a jazz drummer, had two different jazz trio's when I was growing up in Indiana. He used to have Ike Cole and his trio come over to the house for jam sessions when Ike was in town for gig's. Ike would play at Purdue and other places in town at least twice a year. Ike was going to get his brother Nat to come over in the Summer of 65 when he was scheduled to play at Purdue, but Nat passed in February of that year. The last time I saw Ike was in 72, a year before I joined the Army. What is sad is that both brothers died of Cancer Nat in 65 and Ike in 2001. Here is a clip of Ike doing a tribute to his brother Nat. I wish they had left the dancing out and just showed Ike.
