Description
For jazz appreciation month, I've been compiling, mixing, & uploading some of my favorite jazz grooves and this is the second installment. Last time I tried to cover a wide range of styles, but this time I focused on 70s "rare groove" full of smooth rhodes piano, gritty organ, fat drum breaks, thick bass lines, and funky horns. Selecting from such illustrious labels as strata, CTI/Kudu, Groove Merchant, & blue note, this mix is full of classics & rare gems representative of the 'rare groove' sound, so heavily mined & sampled by DJs & producers in the recent times. Featuring the likes of George Duke & Cannonball Adderley, Jimmy McGriff, Jack McDuff, Funk Inc., Idris Muhammad, Bobby Lyle, Pete Eye, Buddy Miles, Michael Longo, Ramon Morris, Kenny Cox, Ramsey Lewis, Kenny Barron, Doug Riley, Kool & The Gang, Brian Auger, and Stanley Turrentine. I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did putting it together. Spread the love & leave me a comment if you dig.
