Marshall McLuhan famously said: "The medium is the message.” Well let me tell you the medium is jazz! This selection is deliberately populist, featuring some of my favourite sixties funky jazz classics. Starts quiet, then gets loud. So watch that volume knob! Oh! and any hip-hop aficionados get kudos for saying who used “Bring Down the Birds” as a sample? Not that hard really! Anyway, tap your feet, clap your hands and get down on that thing!

Dat's Jazz 2 (a) tee...............:)
Dr. J, I love’s me a jazz (pun)dit!
What colors of the musical spectrum and that of a rainbow that is obvious to the eyes and those beyond didn't you use ?!! some wonderful and precious Jazz materials my brother.. LOVing IT
DJnG, Elliptical as always with your process of thought! Music is of course colour. Blues, greens & reds and the colours that are visually beyond our meagre capabilities. He who knows it feels it!
Impossible not to fav this! I’m a bit puzzled by track 6 though "Chili Peppers" by Duke Pearson as I know I have that tune somewhere but not under his name. If my ears don't fool me that's Stanley Turrentine on the tenor sax. Could it be that it was released also under his name? I'm not finding it.
That track come from: Duke Pearson - The Right Touch (Blue Note BST 84267) Freddie Hubbard (trumpet) Garnett Brown (trombone) James Spaulding (alto saxophone) Jerry Dodgion (alto saxophone, flute) Stanley Turrentine (tenor saxophone) Duke Pearson (piano, arranger) Gene Taylor (bass) Grady Tate (drums). Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, September 13, 1967. As you guessed Stanley Turrentine on sax.
Yup! I guessed you might like that funky mix!
Yes, I like your mix a lot. Thanks for the details. I'll find the "The Right Touch". The setting sounds promising. I must have this particualr tune on some kind of compilation then. But it's very nice to know the surrounding now. Funny how evident it is who plays the tenor sax.
That´s another fine selection, not that I expected anything less. And that Bobby Timmons track, hadn´t listened to that in ages!
