Stretching out with other worldly and US jazz influenced music

@blueunicorn,

Thanks for posting, don’t be a stranger. Check out these reposts.

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

@blueunicorn,

This is a stunner.  Mulatu Astatke New York - Addis - London: The Story of Ethio Jazz 1965-1975 - 1970 Philips Ethiopia (full album) Much obliged for posting this musician as I have never heard of him or his music.

This is a live cover of the Gilberto Gil’s song Drão by Hamilton de Holanda and Mestrinho.

 Drão - Hamilton de Holanda and Mestrinho performing the song Drão, by Gilberto Gil 

If you scroll down this youtube site you will see other live link covers that these two share with us here that I think you may enjoy also this holiday season.

So don’t be afraid to check out some of this music that has a Brazilian Tinge to it, that hauntly may remind you of Jazz.

From youtube, ’Canto da Praia was born from the idea of ​​meeting friends and making music, I hope you enjoy it!!! Hamilton de Holanda (10-string mandolin) and Mestrinho (accordion) perform the song "DRAO", by Gilberto Gil’

This is some serious Jazz Funk by Prince that was not promoted at all compared to his pop stuff, check it out as there are only 4 songs on this EP. Happy New Year Y’all!  Prince - n.e.w.s. NPG 2003
