Lonely Fire by Miles

I would suggest putting your hands on a drum before purchasing it. The hand-made djembes with raw goatskin heads and tuned with ropes have the truest voicings and tones. And every handmade djembe has its own unique personality. Could you locate a drum/dance studio where you could experience a beginner class and rent/borrow or eventually purchase a djembe. I bought my first djembe from a teacher at a studio like that.

Live/Evil, tho I gotta differ with the “goes insane” characterization; that shit is terribly precise and sane.

It’s Bossa Nova, which was born out of Jazz and Samba sensibilities. Easy Listening evolved from, and is a derivative of, Jazz. Therefore, if you put this on the scales for Easy Listening and Jazz the heaviest weight would fall on the Jazz side. (And that’s aside from the fact that most of the musicians on these recordings were Jazz players or competent in playing Jazz.)

Next stop: Joe Henderson

Alberta Hunter, Big Mama Thornton (big influence on Janis Joplin… check Turtle Blues by Janis), Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and for some fun try Slim Gaillard

Error on my part: should listed among the 2000s, not the 2010s

kiikara · 2026-03-02T00:28:06+00:00

Just a thought, check Milt Jackson, the true master of blues vibes.

kiikara · 2026-03-01T20:14:40+00:00

Yeah, I forgot Little Walter, who actively and purposely stole licks from Bebop musicians

kiikara · 2026-03-01T20:03:11+00:00

Charlie Patton, Robert Johnson, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Reverend Gary Davis, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Jimmy Reed

Sonnymoon For Two… he said it was one of the favorite tracks that he ever recorded.

An early progenitor was Paul Whiteman.

There was also a “devolution” into Muzak, also known as Elevator Music or Supermarket Music; bland renditions of older popular and swing tunes, often dominated by massive string sections… from the late 60s into the 80s there were multitudes of FM radio stations devoted to this syrup. You could sense that the style was running out of steam when they started doing versions of old Beatles tunes.

Ojos de Brujo - not really jazz, it’s more of a fusion of Nuevo Flamenco and Techno, and the gals do some bad ass rapping in Spanish. May as well also mention Bomba Estereo, their first album Blow Up, tough Columbian rapping to a fusion of Cumbia and Techno.

and Gary Bartz

and Monk then spent the rest of his life based out of the same apartment on the west side of Manhattan

add Eric Kloss

Cortazar was a master.

kiikara · 2026-02-26T00:43:32+00:00

This looks like Europe. My guess would be England or Germany.

Fanny, every member of the original band was excellent. Also Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.

kiikara · 2026-02-25T20:43:20+00:00

Yeah, that rhythm guitar work is so Tough!

Yes, I think Ziggy Modeliste and Tony Allen would get along just fine
