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.

PBS _ Jazz and Blues in (Country) Western Swing

And just for shiggles and gits: 

It’s my impression that the Spanish-Western Tex/Mex/Cali contributions to country music was and has always been way, way under credited and appreciated to that genre of music. Miguel Aceves Mejía, "Malagueña Salerosa"

And Malagueña Salerosa, also known as La Malagueña and not to be confused with Roy Clark’s - Malaguena - 1969 who indecently was also a country and western entertainer/musician, written by Ernesto Lecuona of Cuba. Originally the sixth movement of his Andalucia Suite.

And check out Linda Ronstadt’s - ’CANCIONES DE MI PADRE’ {{H.D.}} (Complete) -1989
