Friday night is cool jazz night

[Hacienda71]

I'm not totally sure what cool jazz is. This Herbie Hancock track, Head Hunters ain't bad though.

Herbie Hancock is cool and that is jazz

Ooh, wish I'd been on here last night... here's my contribution...
Let's Get Lost - Chet Baker

(you have to be cool with a name like Chet, even though his addictions got the better of him)


(btw: De La Soul, mentioned above... still gigging... my daughter saw them last week)

I was suprised at how much jazz was in my music collection, mixed in with stuff like deep purple, hendrix, judas priest and queen.

Lee Morgan, Sidewinder...

No need to listen to anything else!

great choice and one of the greatest trumpet players ever - great phrasing/note choice

Another great song
The "Incredible" Jimmy Smith

I love it. I like the stuff he did with Kenny Burrell. Late 50's early 60's blue note is it for me

Or Grant Green!

My hero! This is the only vid of the man playing.

Kenny and Grant are just ripping it up and IMHO Barney Kessell is totally outclassed

Herbie Hancock is cool and that is jazz

Herbie is great.

But then Miles is "da man"

This is one of my all time fave modern jazz albums. Bluesy, funky and totally jazztastic
