Acclaimed guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli talks about his new trio album Stage & Screen. “I wanted to capture lighting in a bottle,” says Pizzarelli about recording with pianist Isaiah J. Thompson and bassist Mike Karn for Stage & Screen, which finds inspiration in classic songs from Broadway musicals and Hollywood films. #jazz#guitar
What happens if you turn the jazz score to a videogame inside out and play it upside down? No fucking clue, but that's what "The Company is Always Right" (by @thirdeyemutilation) sounds like to me, in the best possible way. At almost nine minutes, the track creates its own timeless space, alien and yet somehow familiar. Cool? Definitely. Psychedelic? Unquestionably. For you? Maybe! Check it out for yourself, here:
"Je vais faire un thread "longue durée" avec la musique que j'aime, donc un peu orienté #jazz, au sens large (aussi large que la prog "jazz" d'un festival jazz). Peut-être ça m'amènera à découvrir de nouvelles choses grâce à vous, et inversement réciproque. Kiffons."
🎧 #GregoryPorter's "Liquid Spirit" won the "Best Jazz Vocal Album" in 2014. In 2017, #Claptone's remix of the title track took the #gospel-y #jazz#song and adapted it for the club. ❤️
If you don't know who #SamaraJoy is you really really should.
A 23 yo jazz vocalist from a LEGENDARY Black gospel family, she is amazing. I haven't heard a voice so rich, deep, light, and layered like hers since Sarah Vaughan.
This is the Tik Tok I stumbled on a year ago. It blew my mind. If you love jazz, Samara Joy is THE MOMENT.

❝ “In my view, there are three great trumpet and saxophone pairings in jazz history,” percussionist Kahil El’Zabar says. “Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, who invented bebop; Miles Davis and John Coltrane, who evolved harmonic complexity and melodic agility; and then Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry, who created cacophony without hierarchy. For Don to keep up with Ornette made him one of the baddest technicians to ever play the instrument.” ❞ → https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/nov/16/the-baddest-technician-how-don-cherry-is-still-making-jazz-new
While I loved the '99 album Motion it felt like the track Channel 1 Suite was for me the standout, packed with potential. It was heading off, away, down an exciting path.
There is a film soundtrack reworking of Every Day, which adds only a couple new tracks, cuts some tracks down (snip Roots Manuva) and leaves some tracks out.
Most of the tracks appear on both. Every Day is the superior album listen in my view.
This song is just incredible art, amazing music, whichever album you listen from.
The Cinematic Orchestra - Man With The Movie Camera
This track is just so good on headphones, or listening neatly in between your speakers. Very cool vibes.
Moonshine Crossroads is the album where this vibes version comes from, but also the Power Bossa album & it's remix album are all worth checking out. Variety of really solid tracks there.
