The last time I was in NYC, my whole life flashed before my eyes. However, if I ever make it to the Big Apple again, I will look you up for sure.
Thanks for the offer.

Frogman, my musical palette is not locked in the past, "Charenee Wade" is my most recent acquisition; the subject matter of her music is "singing of a more complicated urban existence"; no, this is not "rapping" about an urban existence, this is singing top notch jazz with some of the best "new" jazz musicians I've heard. This music was inspired by Gil Scott Heron; most people only remember "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", he was a very young naive man when he put that out, now he's much older and see's the real complications of the urban existence. But beyond that, this is beautiful thoughtful music that can be listened to many times. The urban existence is infinitely more complex than it was when Gil came to prominence in the 60's, but Charenee sings of hope that was inspired by Gil Scott Heron in his most recent life. The music provided that accompanies her is every bit as beautiful as Charenee Wade's voice. I've posted this more than once, why have you failed to acknowledge it Frogman?

Jimmy Greene - Beautiful Life - A modern day Jazz masterpiece. Inspired by the life of his 6 yr old daughter who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Released at the end of 2014, it's up for Best Jazz Record in this years Grammy's. I would strongly urge any lover of music in general, not just Jazz fans, to pick this up, it's simply stunning. Recorded at the Chesky Studios by David Chesky, while not released under the Chesky label, it's probably the greatest 'Chesky' Jazz record of all time! A very, very fine recording. Gottasay, it's hard to take any claims of 'no new Jazz records being made' seriously when there's music of this caliber being created. Only time will tell but IMO this is a classic for the ages! https://youtu.be/JmrexEYPTkg |
I am not in the "what is, and what is not jazz" camp. This music falls into the category of "smooth jazz". This is "In The Full Moonlight" and it's free exuberance sets me free to cavort "In the full moonlight".
