Mixes, Records

One For Daddy-O

Jazzzzzzzzzzzz

Jazz always reminds me of the city, busy, something happening all the time and if you blink you’ll miss it, occasional moments of quiet reflection, the blues. I made this mix last night of some records I’ve been listening to since I moved, hope you all enjoy it….

The Art Blakey Percussion Ensemble – Oscalypso
Yusef Lateef – Snafu
Cecil Taylor – Get Out Of Town
Brigitte Fontaine & The Art Ensemble Of Chicago – Tanka 2
Sonny Rollins – Swingin’ For Bumsy
‘Cannonball’ Adderly – One For Daddy-o
Duke Ellington & John Coltrane – In A Sentimental Mood
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers – Only A Paper Moon

Jonny 5 – One For Daddy-O
