Stretching out with other worldly and US jazz influenced music


I wanted to start a thread to show there is more than just Avant Garde and or Straight Ahead Jazz music in our world. And there is absolutely nothing wrong at all with Avant Garde and or Straight Ahead Jazz music as I do love that part of US Jazz based culture. But sometimes I want to hear and add more sound spices as it were, from other worldly and US jazz influenced music.

There is so much more other worldly and US jazz influenced music that goes unnoticed and it's time to bring those musics of different sound spices to the forefront to be shared.

Although I have started this thread I am not a or the moderator. Let me repeat I am not a or the moderator. I don't have the time nor energy to police anyone's take on the music they like and want to share. As I will always try and be open to others choices of music.

@tyray - I may have it already. I bought a few OGs and when the catalog was reissued, bought a big stack of the reissues. I will look. As I recall the label was funded by Dick Schory. 

Here is Norman Connors featuring Michael Henderson & Jean Carne - Valentine Love (Buddah Records 1975/Curtis Mayfield) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDM0KIwP6z0 

And yes Jean Carn is spelled correctly this time here on this post and not ’Gene Carn’. 

 

As I recall the label was funded by Dick Schory. 

That is correct, he was a very forward thinker of his time.

 

Welcome to my world. All the greatest jazz, imo, was recorded in the 50’s and early 60’s. And there’s enough there to keep anyone busy for a lifetime. But that doesn’t include Keith Jarrett Trio or Chick Corea, among many others like Roy Hargrove. I’d begin with Miles Davis and John Coltrane, who seem to influence almost everyone.
