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.

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. |

@g2the2nd Nice! I didn’t even know if I could access the link since I’ve sold my streamer and in the market for a new streamer. But I do have a pretty good eye/idea on one for a future purchase though. @coltrane1, this is some of the music from the Roy Hargrove cd the RH Factor - DISTRACTIONS 2006 live on stage.
