Open Question: Jazz Education?
I haven't really been listening to music until a few years ago, and since then I've discovered that I really really like jazz, and it's something I'd like to seriously explore and hopefully understand on some level. This is probably a dumb question, but who are the "essential" musicians I should get myself well-acquainted with? If possible I'd like to get a diverse set of opinions across period, style, and nationalities. P.S. I also know that Ken Burns made a documentary on jazz, you think it's worth [...]

Rare Grooves: Some Favorites from the Soul-Jazz Genre
I noticed that I don't write as much about my love for the soul-jazz/rare groove genre than I should, so I figured I needed to devote a post including some of my favorites, mainly from the 70's. Here's a few tasty tracks from some my favorite albums and artists from the Soul-Jazz Genre: The first track is from jazz flutist Bobbi Humphrey "Jasper Country Man" off of her excellent 1973 release Blacks and Blues. You can always depend on Bobbi to have some great grooves on her albums, and generally it's [...]

Kate Schutt – No Love Lost
ArtistShare From the little I have read about Kate Schutt, I expected to hear something akin to the Lilith Fair line-up. But the moment I clicked play, I was treated to a whisper of Billie Holliday and Michelle Shocked’s love child. Educated on the east coast, (She studyed how jazz influences modern poetry at Harvard, and at Berklee College of Music, she studied jazz guitar.), she now lives in Toronto, where she strives to make a name for herself in the world of jazz. No Love Lost was produced by Schutt [...]
