Jazz / Funk / Fusion Artists

I've been listening to Dirty Loops quite a lot recently, the album they did with Cory Wong is stellar too, fantastic rendition of Thriller!

Also Bela Fleck and the Flecktones since I'm on the Victor Wooten vibe hard.

Also recently discovered Slowly Rolling Camera and am loving them, probably describe them as atmospheric jazz, has a post rock kinda feel to it...

John McLaughlin was a key member of Mile Davis' first jazz fusion era. Here are some of my favourite contributions from him.







Here's him playing alongside Sonny Sharrock shredding with an Echoplex



Sonny Sharrock also did the music for the Space Ghost Coast to Coast show



Django Reinhardt



Another favourite jazz guitarist of mine is Mark Ribot



Danny Gatton did a really nice jazz album called New York Stories



But yeah, jazz/funk/fusion is an amazing genre to get into.

It was ground-breaking in introducing unusual time signatures to the masses, and also in bringing jazz to the white middle class. Is it the greatest jazz album of all time? Wouldn't think so. But I still can't stop playing Take Five every time I get near a guitar.

My apologies, I love Dave Brubeck, Time Out. It's Eric Dolpy's, Out To Lunch that I don't get.

I'm in hospital with a broken femur at the moment, so I blame the morphine for my confusion.

OMG, what happened????

Electric scooter.
Hit a pot hole with the little wheels.

Oh no, that sucks, positive thoughts for a speedy recovery!!
