Jazz

[Smudge]

I was watching Duke Ellington on YouTube last night and thought I'll put this up on Foxestalk. There isn't a thread for Jazz that I can find.

The piece is called Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue starring Paul Gonsalves (his performance starts at 4.04) on sax. It was performed at the Newport Jazz festival in 1956 and is. in my opinion, a masterpiece in big band jazz.

I know this isn't what many of you want to see or hear these days but this is worth a  listen.

Listen to a lot of modern jazz such as Venna, Yussuf Dayes, Emil, Kamaal Williams, alfamist & mansur brown. There’s more I just cba to list the rest of them.
