Volume 19 of our mix series is compiled by b.diff.rent.
Adventurous. Free. Dangerous. A way to break the rules. Welcome to jazz. A living art form, ever changing and ever growing.
"The only thing that matters is whether you feel it or not.......if you are touched in some way, then you are in...". Ornette Coleman.
Jazz is elusive and unconventional ....it is freedom from conformity.
It was "the birth of the cool" as we now know it. And the the cool thing is improvisation. You make it up on the spot. No music in front of you. No long discussion with your bandmates. You just play.
Cannonball Adderley, Sun Ra, Grachan Moncur.....the names are as slick as the music.
The mix features legendary performances that are sometimes easy on the ear, sometimes demanding of the ear but always a delight for the ear.
Welcome to "the shape of things to come".
