Continuum – A Journey Through Jazz

Episode 21: Last of the Summer Jam

This may be a bit late for your Labor Day pool or BBQ party . . . but I recorded it on Monday for a personal party of my own – and thus, by listening to it today or tomorrow you can extend the weekend well into the week and possibly extend your summer vacation as well . . . if only in your mind. :-)

This show is a ‘farewell to summer’ Jazz-Funk throw down featuring a few of my favourite tracks from the past 19 years . . . songs I typically play when I’m driving, DJ’ing a party, or just feeling particularly funky. I seriously doubt that you can sit still whilst listening. I dare you to stay perfectly still.

We start with a call for unity from the Groove Collective, followed by some vintage Acid Jazz from the Brand New Heavies, Incognito, Candy Dulfer, and Blair . . . continuing with some serious bass work by Brian Bromberg, and intensely funky rhythmic improvisations from the Brecker Brothers, Branford Marsalis’ Buckshot LeFonque, and Outside . . . and we end the party with a bang by bringing the brilliant bass work of Wayman Tisdale and Marcus Miller. The show ends with a little ‘lagniappe’, leaving you with an extra funky track from a hard to find CD by the UK’s Jazz Possee.

Think of this show as a mix tape I made just for you to play at your next party or roadtrip – and you won’t even have to wait until next summer.

I always love to hear from you with any comments, questions or suggestions at Scott@SoulandJazz.com. Enjoy the ride!
