In JazzNotJazz, we’ve compiled a unique mix tape from a hundred years of jazz recordings, adding some meaningful and sometimes frivolous facts. As it’s also about The Soul of Jazz, there will definitely be some detours into affiliated styles. We have (irregularly) recurring elements like “Ellington Train Songs”, “Jazz Cameo’s”, “Keith Plays Miles”, “Jazz B4 ‘44” and “More is Better”.
The thread running through our setlist today, are the rhythms, as well as two new releases from 2024. This time, Sam and Sam with a Monty Python coconut (horse galloping) rhythm. James Brown’s trombonist with his own number (and in the background clearly the boss). Tito Rodriguez with a special recommendation from Wynton Marsalis. We’ve got a ‘Keith Jarrett plays Miles Davis’! Or actually, Cannonball Adderley:-). We end with our Swiss friend, who keeps his own set-up interesting time and time again. We think so anyway.
