Just plain impressive and transporting, thank you
Cheers Rob. Thanks for checkin’ out the back catalogue!
Jazz embodies the irony of how a music can move from such low and primitive origins as the heartfelt expressions of American slaves to the American academies and the concert stages ... Your ideas on the Project really delivers this passage ...EXCELLENT !!!
Thanks Bro, I always appreciate your heartfelt comments.
Quite simply an awesome mix. Contains some nice new acquaintances for me, Mixcloud at it´s best. Orrin Evans reminds me of a freeblowing Woody Shaw. Thanks!
Thanks JazzMango. I always try to feature some lesser known but deserving artists in my mixes.
Sunday morning, coffee, paper and this mix = happy day!
Thanks Mr Spock. Relaxing with coffee and jazz, what could be better!
Bassss
thanks man, loving the tunes
Cheers!
DJ2tee, you do master the art of mixing tracks together! Whatever the genre, it always flows so naturally. Very great Jazz set here! It made me want to craft a new one of my own ;-)
Thanks for your comments. Really appreciate your support.
Great choice of tracks !
Thanks Jazzcat. Yes, you win the guess the cover design prize. It was indeed a pastiche of the Glücklich covers. Except with a Morris Minor instead of a VW.
Kudos to the first person to guess the joke in the cover design!
The Glücklich compilation series by Compost records......I guess ;-)
It does! Great first tune to evoke happiness! Orrin Evans plays the piano? Who is the sax man? Great flow!
