I am an eclecticrian .. a jack of all trades and master of none - "I aim to misbehave"

I will be posting about the things I like - music walking, science, art, books - that type of thing.

Back in the 1990s it was Jamiroquai who brought #jazz into the mainstream .. "Space Cowboy" was on heavy rotation on #jazzfm as well as pop stations like Capital & #bbcRadio1 - today the #ezracollective are doing this with contemporary #Jazzsky #Jazzmusic fusions

I listened to a lot of John Martyn in the 1970's - I was pleasantly surprised to hear this version recently.

#jazz #folk fusion is new to me .. I really like what the Modern Jazz & Folk Ensemble are doing. Here they are with 'Solid Air'

Miles Davis .. "Right Off" has an iconic moment of his musical genius .. Davis hears the band jamming, starts recording & waits. When McLaughlin & Henderson play different chords he starts with the only common note in both chords

His 1st solo album "A New Dawn" for Marshal Allen at almost 101.

Shaped from a very long life & experience with #Music & with Neneh Cherry singing on the title track .. who also has a lifetime with music

This is a nice album

The Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Take Five" is a very special piece of music to me ... I first heard it as a very young child. I had never heard anything like it & that there is much more to music than I thought.

Daniel Casimir plays bass on so many good songs in other groups. His own compositions are deep and wide - here he is asking people to develop their own music rather than obsess over streaming numbers.

I heard this for the first time last week - Shirley Bassey Come In From The Rain (1977) ... this song is a good demonstration of her natural talent as a singer - her phrasing, power and control .. "put a spell on you"

On repeat play in my mind since I heard it a few weeks ago -not only an "earwig" - it has a long history.

1st recoded in 1928 .. covered by Sinatra, Como, Connie Francis & Diana Krall but this is my favourite - sarah vaughan 1963

There are "Blue Skies" and there is "Afro Blue"

This is one of my favourite pieces of music and there are so many great versions.

For a live performance have a look at Robert Glasper with Esperanza Spalding
