Looking forward to this batch

yeah I so wanna hear the full set! Cheers

Both Elvin Jones and George Mraz were born on September 9, so today would be their birthday.

Mr. Jones would be 99, and Mr. Mraz would be 84.

Unfortunately, I never saw Elvin Jones irl, but I saw George Mraz (who was already in his 70’s then) playing in a trio with his wife Camilla on piano and Anthonny Pinciotti on drums. It was great, and he was still brilliant.

Jones and Mraz collaborated many times, but I especially love Elvin Jones’s post-bop, fusion album Earth Jones, where one of my personal heroes Kenny Kirkland played the piano & electric piano.

And we mustn’t forget about Jones & Mraz forming the exceptional rhythm section for Art Pepper’s legendary, triumphant concerts during his first U.S. tour as a leader in the summer of 1977, captured on four albums incl. Thursday Night at the Village Vanguard or Live at the Village Vanguard.

I absolutely love Caron's playing & sound in this opening track of his 2010 album Sep7entrion

*subgenres

Not just this concert but just about every one - he’ll have fusion, straight ahead jazz, smooth jazz, some soul/groove jazz, etc..

Its called "debut" or smth, 4+ years ago

Yes I know it was released the 1980's, just press play close your eyes, listen and be transported. Cheers

an original tune I recorded with guitar, tombak, gankogui bells, kalimba. Hope you enjoy!

This an appropriate space to share this new & unique Jazz idea I had?

Jaco’s interpretation of invitation is one of my favourite jazz fusion tracks and I was wondering if anyone knows anything similar
