Bob's Chat
Out of all the various genres in my compilations, it appears that jazz is the least popular as I get the fewest comments from the jazz compilations. And it's only by your comments and feedback that I (and all music sharing blog operators) can gauge what is most popular and what isn't.
However, regardless of whether you like jazz or not, do yourselves a favour and have a good listen to today's jazz compilation: Best Of Jazz Vol 100 - Door Of The Cosmos Vol 02 - Ode To Sappho (1959-2024)
There are some truly remarkable tracks here for your listening pleasure in this very funky collection. Not just jazz buffs but everyone who likes good funky music, be it funky soul or funky rock, along with a few spacey/trippy things, will enjoy this one. Included among the many greats in this collection are: Carlos Santana, Jean-Luc Ponty, Gil Scott-Heron, John McLaughlin, Pharoah Sanders, Akiko Grace, Jack DeJohnette, Barbara Thompson, and Sun Ra.
I've been listen to it again today and digging it big time. So much so that it's going onto the flash drive in my car for frequent listening as I think it's the best jazz compilation I've compiled so far.
And Blues, R&B, Soul & Gospel Records continues, now up to Volume 161 with 21 great tracks dating from 1950 to 2007. Presented here today are Jimmy Rogers, Eddie Lang, Delbert McClinton & Bonnie Raitt, Omar Kent Dykes & Jimmy Vaughn, Elmore James, Johnny Guitar Watson, Bobby 'Blue' Bland, Elder Samuel Patterson, and several other blues & gospel greats.
So dig in my friends and enjoy the great free music here today. Don't forget to check out "Bob's Cellar", always lots of interesting and varied albums posted in the Cellar.
Okay, Okay I'll listen. Promise!

DeleteOk, that's right
ReplyDeleteEnjoy 😁👍
DeleteI also recommend Best Of Jazz Vol 59 - Door Of The Cosmos!
ReplyDeleteCheers Frank, glad you liked that one too.
DeleteBob, I think jazz is less popular because it demands absolute attention and concentration to follow it through improvisation and change. It is, however, probably the most rewarding of any music to listen to as it needs engagement of the brain and stimulates the intellect. Not only that, but "jazz" covers so many genres - mouldy figs through to dirty boppers. Please keep feeding jazz through to us. Cheers, Terry Peck.
ReplyDeleteInteresting comments Terry, thank you. I also feel that jazz is way more highbrow, pretty well all jazz musicians read music and score. Like classical musicians. Someone can BS their way through Rock & Roll, and many other genres, even blues, but jazz and classical music there's no BS, you can't play that music with basic skills.
