Head Jazz



Ok jazz heads -- here's one NOT to sleep on. I've had this compilation of Atlantic Jazz releases on my shelf for years now... unlistened to! I throw it on the other day and find that this is a real gem.

It's a total jazz mixtape - put together by Joel Dorn (an American jazz and R&B music producer and record label serial entrepreneur). All I can say is brilliant...! Put your headphones on and get into it.

You can pick this up mad cheap at amazon.com (used) or where I got it years ago, Dusty Groove. If you're a fan of jazz music and mixtapes - this is for you.

This cd totally inspires me to get back to my jazz mix project consisting of 6 mixes!

The write up from Dusty Groove:

A stoned-out batch of funky jazz tracks from the Atlantic catalog of the 60s and early 70s -- 13 funky and trippy tunes that sound wonderful together! Some tracks are straight and funky, others have a bit of a goofy edge, and others have an expanded consciousness that fits well with the Head Jazz theme!

Titles include "Equinox" by Hubert Laws, "Let's Gather" by Les McCann, "Silver Cycles" by Eddie Harris, "The Lovers" by Les McCann, "In A Little Spanish Town" by Yusef Lateef, "Lover's Lament" by Hank Crawford, "Island Cry" by Rahsaan Roland Kirk, "Catbird Seat" by Mitchell-Ruff Trio, "Soul Of A Village (part 2)" by Joe Zawinul, "Ramblin" by Ornette Coleman, "Day By Day" by Jimmy Scott, and "This Old Building" by Yusef Lateef.
