OT: Post some Tasty Jazz Flavored Tunes

[Scud49]

This one never ceases to amaze me, esp with headphones on:

Al Jarreua w Sanborn & James

 

[Hoops66]

Absolutely brilliant in my opinion. She's an actress, not necessarily a singer, but musicals, for sure...

 

[Scud49]

Jazzy, funky, and smooth:

Tom Scott - Shadows, from 1977:

 

[uconnfan68]

I hear a lot of old Allman Brothers there… I’ve heard of them before (and know of the Derek Trucks connection), but never really listened… now I will.

Tom Scott - Shadows, from 1977:

I'm not a big sax fan but this one's very smooth and relaxing. I almost fell asleep listening.

 

[Bigboote]

Here's a beautiful little ditty by Yusef Lateef, in 7/4 time.

 

[Scud49]

I'm not a big sax fan but this one's very smooth and relaxing. I almost fell asleep listening.

Very true on that Tom Scott tune. Now here's one that is certainly a bit more up tempo - Tom Scott and the LA Express doing Rock Island Rocket. I remember it getting good amount of airplay back in the 70's:

The group is Elements, this piece is a bit mysterious with a cool groove:

[Bigboote]

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.

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.

 

[Scud49]

This one is so smooth - David Hazeltine:

 

[KennyD]

 

[Replicant]

 

[Scud49]

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

 

[TerpWomenFan]

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Love me some Stanley Clarke.

 

[Kaizen]

Very very old song by Bessie Smith.

 

[Hoops66]

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!

Stanley Clarke - always loved Quiet Afternoon off of his School Days album:

 

[Aluminny69]

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